The creative team behind many of the viral sensations featuring Lego characters and storytelling critical of the war launched by US-Israeli forces against Iran two months ago, posted a new video on Saturday that seeks to forge solidarity between everyday Iranians and Americans suffering from the conflict, and who desperately want to see the fighting brought to an end.
“The Iranian AI Lego team has another video out,” said Trita Parsi, executive vice president at the Institute for Responsible Statecraft, a DC think tank focused on US foreign policy. “The music, lyrics, and imagery are all designed to appeal to disillusioned Americans.”
Actually no, that was the previous Iranian regime (before they killed the Ayatollah). This is the new Iranian regime (with the younger Khamenei).
Maybe he’s not a murderous tyrant like his dad? I suppose it’s worth giving him an opportunity to build his own legacy without his father’s baggage, considering the circumstances.
If he ends up murdering his own civilians too, then fuck him. But so far he hasn’t done that.
the regime is the same. It’s all the same people, even though the top guy is his son
Okay, so the Iranian civilians are being murdered by the Iranian government and the US government.
Can we stop arguing about which one’s worse and maybe start thinking about how do we stop both of those regimes from murdering civilians?
I agree. You’re the one that was making excuses for the regime.
Was I? All I said was that the recent round of massacres was under the previous Ayatollah.
I also clearly stated that if the current Ayatollah murders civilians, then fuck him too.
What part of that excuses a murderous regime?
Lol
Is that from march? Khamenei died in April…
He was killed 28 February or 1 March, depending on who you ask and possibly your time zone.

Oh damn, these past couple months have been a blur. I was thinking “that was just a month ago.”
What the fuck.
Did he?
