Thank goodness for the US world police, our righteous blue line is as thin as our understanding of reality, but we try our best! What barbarians for the Iranians to chant something so awful! It isn't right and they should know that.

God bless our bombs and jets as we free the Iranian people from a Theocracy!

edit so let me get this straight, this video is fake?

That picture isn't thousands- tens of thousands.

It's AI, so the actual number is zero

Ok I am looking this up now and double checking, can you please cite your sources please?

Does that really change the meaning of the meme? Any radicalism in response to our violence will do in its place, the details don't matter to those in power.

Yes, actually. Including made-up, fake-ass, low-effort propaganda DOES, in fact, change the meaning of the meme. Because whatever meaning you were trying to convey has now been replaced with: Pathetic, AI slop.

These strikes on Iran ARE AI slop, it hardly changes the meme, extremist hardline elements in Iran will only be strengthened by this.

Well, yes, your message stays the same, but spreading faked inages without cleary indicsting so has rarely been a good idea, further eroding trust in any form of media.

I tried looking up video of that and couldn't find anything either. So leaning toward it being AI.
