You can call these videos Iranian propaganda as much as you want, but mixed with a small amount of propaganda is a large amt of truth, suspicion & questions the American public deserve answers to.

There's lots of innuendo in this one. You may need to watch more than once to catch it all.

YouTube is removing some of the videos, but many are still available. Whomever is making the videos is well aware of questions we all discuss on social media.

@PattyHanson That's the way all propaganda works.Some truth to get you nodding along, some hyperbole to get you wondering, then something totally outside the box to get you questioning yourself.

@hakona It's sort of fascinating to watch. The only other social media platform I use is Instagram and the videos rack up thousands of comments and words of support for Iran. One day it will be studied. How easy it was to turn Americans away from their own government in support for Iran.

@PattyHanson @hakona

I will quibble slightly here.
Yes, I think their intent includes turning Americans against our government.

But I don't think that's what's happening in the intended audience. While it could be interpreted as 'turning against' the US, what those comments are largely demanding is for ANYONE to hold the US accountable for its sins.

The diss track that they released that made a pretty clear connection between different US liberation movements and other freedom movements globally (ironically not in their own backyard *cough*) is a really good example. Their message was 'We're doing this for YOU, oppressed Black and Brown people who have been oppressed by your own government for too long." And the response from USians was: Fuck Yeah!

It's a different type of grievance they've identified. And the US is probably going to ignore it because it's 'woke.'

@DeliaChristina I sincerely hope it won't be ignored. There really are some good points being made. Dealing honestly will be a test for if they are *serious*. The US needs serious now. @PattyHanson

@DeliaChristina @hakona I don't think you're wrong. I'm far from a political expert. Crap. Most of the time I can't even figure out what I'm thinking of for myself, and I've fallen for a few misinformation stories and videos. Thankfully, there are people around me who set me back on track.

It's hard to know the true intent of Iran plus I don't think the majority of the videos are coming from them anymore. Others have jumped on the bandwagon. I wouldn't be surprised if Russia is in the mix.
