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.”
That’s hilarious. And sad. Mostly sad, actually.
Even all of the economic activity that takes place indoors is contingent upon the economic activity that takes place outdoors. And that “90%” is probably measuring by financial output, not labor-hours.
It’s extremely classist, short-sighted, and precisely what one would expect from such a person…
In short, yup. I have nothing to add
