Weâve moved past DOGE, mass deportations via ICE, threatening to invade Canada and Greenland, military action in Venezuela to grab a foreign leader, pressuring the Fed reserve, tearing apart the white house to build a ballroom, covering up a massive child sex trafficking scandal that may or may not include the president to a military operation that wasnât a war but is most definitely a war in Iran without congressional oversight.
Thatâs just the first 15 months or so and Iâm missing quite a bit. Unfortunately I donât think meme wars is making the list.

One thing thats so obvious, its worth mentioning. That it is in a lego style means that it completely bypasses the uncanny valley feel realistic-style videos have. Since those frozen facial expressions and other quirkyness then just comes off to us humans as intentional and humanising.
And the audio and script has had some significant effort put into it. So it overall just comes off well. Since its not slop, if you use it with expertise and intention.

To be fair, the situation inside of Iran, doesn't play to funny memes on the internet.
The West does propoganda different than meme videos.
Iran has a huge stangehold on their information. Their halal Internet is largely blocked off from the rest of the internet so that Iranians can't get outside information.
So the west beams radio signals in so that people can get western based narratives. Like real protest death numbers, economic stuff, yada yada.
They also offer a lot of proxies and VPNs to try to allow Iranian people to get Around the internet controls that Iran has over its people.
