Koen Hufkens, PhD@DrALJONES No sympathy for the Iran regime, but they are winning the trolling war. Culture always trumps politics, and sometimes war I guess.
I agree. And done with such sharp insight into the nuances of US imperial hubris. Though of course even a grade two class can do that.
neotoy@koen_hufkens @DrALJONES but how do you measure such a thing? "Winning" the mediacosm is so fragmented and multipolar these days, with audiences being as diverse and complex as the sources of propaganda they consume.
@neotoy @DrALJONES You have on the one hand meme-ified Call of Duty stuff and a president shouting "open the f-ing strait" and on the other hand the subtle play shown above.
There is a clear winner here in terms of quality.
Re "but how do you measure such a thing?"
The current US "leaders", like all fascists, have the sense of humour of a lump of clay.
