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.”
one of my prized possessions is an enormous LP collection of (mostly) russian composers that American Express released in the early 80s or late 70s i don’t know, it was a gift from a friend who wanted to clean out her record collection, but the point of the collection and the music is to prove to western audiences through the music that people behind the Iron Curtain are not our enemies. the governments are not the people.
there’s like, 40 LPs and i’ve listened to 5 of them. it’s a bunch of really good classical music, but the point is the same and it never changes.
