Slopaganda is a gorgeous term. I hate it.
I’ve seen a few but not the rap “the secrets are leaking, the pressure is rising”
Anyone have a linkl? I searched DDG and no links, seems like it’s being suppressed in the US for some reason…
i think you want that one: https://politicalhumor.substack.com/p/new-iran-lego-viral-video-trump-is
Wow…these fucking gold. Good on Iran for playing the propaganda game proper, love this.
L.O.S.E.R. was such a banger!
It’s the best propaganda I’ve ever seen
What, no “slop” comments?
ITA: “Slopaganda” isn’t strong enough
I mean the guy didn’t really make it. AI did. Or should I say the collective effort of many people’s work that the model was trained on did? I find there‘s something ironic about the content of the videos considering LLMs are the ultimate „fuck your consent“ tools. But I will say it‘s very effective.
The overriding message of these videos is that Iran is resisting what it sees as an almighty global oppressor: the United States.
For decades the USA have been the Bad Guy in the “Larger Middle East” mostly for their complete lack of understanding how societies work. So many times. In every country except Israel. This is the ultimate fuck-up. I’m not a friend of the guns blazing approach to secure oil, but even that could’ve worked if they’d just put a little more effort into understanding the people they’re invading.
Cheesus, do I hope they get fucked over good. Not the soldiers of course but the USA itself.
And I fucking hate the Iran regime and all religious states. But the USA are making it all too easy for them to portray themselves as the good guys.
I also hope that the soldiers that go abroad to kill for money will not be fucked over, since they are basically good guys.
no soldier serving in the us military since trump took power can be considered “a good guy” anymore
The reason those religious regimes etc exist in the first place is that USA supported them in the beginning.
The Iranian rebellion was ultimately betrayed by the Islamic clergy. Without organizations such as the Mojahedeen-e Khalq, the revolution would not have happened. And as a thank you, the Iranian left got slaughtered after 1979.
Except for Iran that actually had democracy until USA undermined it and instated the Shah to get the oil.
That ended up causing a revolution, that replaced the Shah with a religious regime.So thank you USA, I hope you enjoyed the few years of oil profits from Iran! /s
USA and the UK. MI6 are no saints
AFAIK UK weren’t that involved with Iran, they were with Egypt, but USA fucked UK over regarding Egypt, and made deals for themselves instead of helping UK.
MI6 were definitely not saints, their only redeeming quality was probably that they were less successful.
The anglo soviet was UK and USSR. Fuck the yanks they messed up everywhere but they were not here this time.
Presumably they were committing war crimes elsewhere or plotting child rape organisations.
In '41? We were sitting at home and selling EVERYBODY weapons. Staunchly refusing to get into the war. Again. For the second time ever. Right up until Dec, 8.
Yes. The story is not complex but looong. All the way back to Saudi Arabia, the founding of Israel. And several times the side the USA backed & trained & gave guns to, later turned against them.
This is actually the first time I’ve seen that and damn, hit the nail right on the head.
Well, it’s hardly surprising that such propaganda has been successful, especially since it contains more truth than most U.S. media outlets dare to publish these days.
Is it propaganda when it’s 100% true? Is it called propaganda because it’s pro-foreign?
The most effective propaganda is either true, or has been repeated so long, loud, and often, people refuse to believe it’s a lie.
It also takes a collective childhood memory and does something very edgy with it. That tickles our brains in a very funny way.
Video for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G9DNx7xIIc
US media: “We have a healthy and functional democracy”
Iran: “Your government is ran by pedophiles”
Wow that’s… kinda fire. Ngl.
I’m not a big fan of the IRGC, but that’s a banger of a diss track.
Damn, that’s no exaggeration, I wasn’t prepared for the quality of that.
I’m going to have the hook “your government is run by pedophiles, they ordered you to die for Israel” stuck in my head for a while. Those are not words I ever expected would be catchy lyrics, but here we are.
You said you like losers, well look at your team
I wonder if AI made the lyrics too. Some of it is - too good.
The lyrics are so good I’m leaning towards them being written by a real human and then just fed into AI
I kind of assume the same with the imagery too. It’s slop but I gotta admit that it’s quality slop
