Siding with a dictatorial regime that’s murdered 100s of their own people and aided terrorist organizations because you both hate the same person is absurd.

I'm much more impressed by Chinese state-made eagles vs. cats video: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGY0_pgkv8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dGY0_pgkv8</a>

Given the headline, they found out nothing about "the team".

Is it even propaganda if you just read aloud your enemy’s wikipedia? I think Bubba refers to someone else than Clinton and Iran’s regime is despotic assholes, but apart from that pretty accurate depiction.

I would be interested to know how these are made on a technical level. Is it a combination of several tools and are they local or some service (I would think LEGO minifigs would trigger some copyright issue)? I also assume you need to do certain things to keep the consistency and somehow sync the music with the video?

Is this one group?<p>Today I saw an analyst from Pakistan and he also had some of these "trump-lego-snippets" in the video, was wondering why someone would put so much effort in a video against trump, but it seems he copied it somewhere (from this group e.g.)

It was quite obvious, but this is a noteworthy example of just how much more effective propaganda will become with AI.<p>These videos are blowing up on Twitter.<p>I personally found the one about Pete Hegseth quite well made and the song actually catchy.<p>Edit: Video link courtesy mirashii in this thread - <a href="https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/116348872322024778" rel="nofollow">https://mastodon.social/@blogdiva/116348872322024778</a>

The production values were great. I can't deny it.

No one cares about who made these videos in the US. The bigger issue is why are we engaging in a ground war in Iran when it doesn’t really serve US interests? Everyone on both political spectrums in the US can see why it benefits Saudi Arabia and Israel, but not the US.<p>We’re using precious resources like missiles that we will need in the Pacific theater in next 1-2 years
