So, kinda weird follow up to my “um, the American military structure is crumbling” post, but y’all, can I say here that in the war to win hearts and minds, the Iranian propaganda is the best I’ve ever seen, and I’ve studied #propaganda.

This one, The Genocide That Is Not Over, does this astonishingly good job of gathering all the people the US and Israel have harmed, inc the Israelis viewing parties of Palestinian murders, into one display of “Are we the baddies?” The Iranians have a better grasp of our history than many Americans. (I’ll admit this one gave me feels)

what is extraordinary about all of the vids is the sheer number of comments supporting Iran, and hoping the US loses.

Hands down, Iran is showing why Donald shouldn’t have listened to Kushner and Bibi. (A kushner post is coming, hoo boi, is he special.)

@MissConstrue

they are delightfully adept at anti American propaganda (complimentary). watching a country with leverage use that leverage to tell a sitting president to go fuck himself has been a panacea for the soul. I am not naive enough to be black and white about this (the iranian government is horrible) but it's fun watching two assholes knock each other around. I just wish the people in those countries weren't paying for it with their lives.

@coolcalmcollected Agreed. And finding out that the whole war was started because BiBi wants to neutralize Iran enough that his oil pipeline through the Saudi desert to Gaza makes financial sense (narrator: it does not), is so infuriating.

We are bleeding out our treasury for what? So some billionaires become trillionaires? I don’t know that Truth, Justice and the American Way was ever really a thing, but this is as far away from it as I’ve ever seen. And I remember Vietnam.

"the American way" has always been propaganda. there is an American way but not how they talk about it. reading The Jakarta Method really helped contextualize events I was aware of but not aware of how they're all connected.

the current u.s. regime is just blatant about what has been SOP since day one.

a lot of thin veils have been yanked off since 2019 and yet people still behave as if nothing has changed.

infuriating
