Iran Outmaneuvers US in AI-Powered Meme Warfare
The White House is fighting back in meme warfare, racking up over 2 billion impressions with humorous clips from Call of Duty and SpongeBob SquarePants - but its goals differ greatly from Iran's strategic online tactics. While the US aims to energize its domestic supporters with lighthearted content, Iran is quietly shaping its own…

@Fou_ad All Western media classes this as propaganda, but the challenge should be to find anything in this video which is a lie... 🤔
@StevenSavage Iranians tend to have a dry sense of humour, Americans don't tend to.
That's the reason why #iran is way ahead on #memewarfare
@celesteh YES! Another story, in the 1920s the suffragette movement was used by propagandist #edwardbernays. commissioned by what we would call today, Big tobacco he was able to manupulate women into taking up smoking and doubling the market to include women, by making smoking a symbol of the movement.
Because it was generally taboo for women to smoke, he covertly setup a photoshoot of a small group of marching #suffrogettes, who would stop for a smoke on his command, the headline he planned was "Sticks for freedom".
By featuring this meme on frontpages #bigtobacco doubled the number of smokers... the victims didn't even know they were being sold something. #memewarfare #pr #corporatemedia #indoctrination

A good start would involve quietly burning the #MurdochRags in a bucket out back before ppl get a squiz at the #memes they put out.
Or at least use them as carbon for the local #compost bin.
Did you know #RupertMurdoch is featured in the encrypted 80GB file that #JulianAssange put out on the web. If Assange is ever killed and unable to publish we can expect the widely torrented file to be unencrypted, and Murdoch's past exposed.

Do things shared over #centraliaed systems like #telegram actually count, though?
Reminds us of when the #intelligence departments produced a bunch of #flat earth videos to justify purging real #independantMedia that had nothing to do with that stuff.
#Australia could show global leadership by not exporting #uranium for harmful, wasteful, unsustainable, costly, #centralised, corrupting #nuclearEnergy. The only benefit one can get from uranium is #chemotherapy treatments.
…but Australians have difficulty grasping good #leadership.
#KevinRudd was the last time Australia had a leader, and look what we let #RupertMurdoch and the #corporateOverlords do to him.
