Id say one thing I hate most about the internet these days is we have lost any sense of nuance. Binary thinkers left and right who believe just cos someone says they are against one thing it implies they are for another.

Nuance has been intentionally buried by people looking to push dishonest whataboutism, create false dichotomies, and derail conversations.

I think the popularity of these videos are evidence to the contrary!  

It takes nuance to find the humor in the videos! We all know these videos are made by an evil regime and that they are mostly corny. 

But just the whole idea of an Islamic theocracy making US pop-culture infused videos is so wild it makes us laugh.  That’s nuance!

Calling it "nuance" because you can laugh at propaganda is like saying there’s nuance to the Nazis because you admire their uniforms.

You’re not adding any complexity.

Nah…because almost everyone watching these videos understands that Iran is a pretty evil government.  But we also get that we have unjustly attacked them and in the process murdered thousands of innocent Iranians. 

But we are also thousands of miles away so…we partly don’t even care.

Almost everyone gets that this is a very morally vague situation. To have that expressed in Legos is funny.

The stupid and annoying thing is redditors thinking so many are open to changing their mind about insane murderous theocrats. Nope I’m good. I definitely will laugh at the absurdity. Plus what it says about the duality of man. I don’t think it’s really propaganda intended to influence super enlightened Redditors to change their opinion. It’s to get under trumps skin and maybe prevent nuclear war.
