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.”
And I don’t hate the Iranians. I hate both of our governments, however.
Yeah, it’s funny how many shills tried calling me racist for supporting the Iranian protestors in 2021 and later in 2025 and 2026.
Like, if I was racist, then why would I care about their problems and empathize and express solidarity?
The Iranian people don’t deserve to be bombed by the US and Israeli militaries. They don’t deserve to be massacred for protesting against police brutality either. Or to be beaten to death in police custody for not wearing a hijab “properly.”
There are some wild mental leaps that some people will go through to support a violent regime just because it’s anti-West.
