Well, it’s hardly surprising that such propaganda has been successful, especially since it contains more truth than most U.S. media outlets dare to publish these days.
It also takes a collective childhood memory and does something very edgy with it. That tickles our brains in a very funny way.
Is it propaganda when it’s 100% true? Is it called propaganda because it’s pro-foreign?
The most effective propaganda is either true, or has been repeated so long, loud, and often, people refuse to believe it’s a lie.
Propaganda is just media with a specific social or politcal bias it is trying to convince the reader of. It has nothing to do with veracity. Even advertising is a form of propaganda.
Video for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G9DNx7xIIc
US media: “We have a healthy and functional democracy”
Iran: “Your government is ran by pedophiles”
This is actually the first time I’ve seen that and damn, hit the nail right on the head.
L.O.S.E.R. was such a banger!
It’s the best propaganda I’ve ever seen
Slopaganda is a gorgeous term. I hate it.
I mean the guy didn’t really make it. AI did. Or should I say the collective effort of many people’s work that the model was trained on did? I find there‘s something ironic about the content of the videos considering LLMs are the ultimate „fuck your consent“ tools. But I will say it‘s very effective.
What, no “slop” comments?
ITA: “Slopaganda” isn’t strong enough
Is it really propaganda if a majority is true?
I’ve seen a few but not the rap “the secrets are leaking, the pressure is rising”
Anyone have a linkl? I searched DDG and no links, seems like it’s being suppressed in the US for some reason…
found this though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G9DNx7xIIc
