It also takes a collective childhood memory and does something very edgy with it. That tickles our brains in a very funny way.
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.

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.
When we push back - citing US officials who say the airman is now receiving treatment in Kuwait - he claims: “Only 13% of what Mr Trump says is based on facts.”
And why should they tell only facts in their videos if the leader of the biggest military of the world (by budget) is so obviously lying as soon as he opens his mouth.
The reason those religious regimes etc exist in the first place is that USA supported them in the beginning.
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

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.
I was talking about the UK in my comment replying to the person that said the UK was not involved in Iran, not the US
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.
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.
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
And for the moment people of Iran were thinking it could be a liberation attempt;)

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.
yeah… irans propaganda game is incredibly strong… doesnt help that they have such weak targets as well
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
Some human effort went into this for sure. But I keep forgetting that everything AI produces is essentially stolen human effort.
The editing is tight, but when you look closer at some scenes you see typical AI bs.
US media: “We have a healthy and functional democracy”
Iran: “Your government is ran by pedophiles”
This is actually the first time I’ve seen that and damn, hit the nail right on the head.
L.O.S.E.R. was such a banger!
It’s the best propaganda I’ve ever seen
Slopaganda is a gorgeous term. I hate it.
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.
Is it really propaganda if a majority is true?
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…
found this though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G9DNx7xIIc
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.
What, no “slop” comments?
ITA: “Slopaganda” isn’t strong enough
