YouTube removes pro-Iran channel producing anti-Trump videos
Google, the owners of YouTube, has removed a channel on the platform belonging to a pro-Iran group producing Lego-themed videos mocking Donald Trump.
"Upon review, we’ve terminated the channel for violating our Spam, deceptive practices and scams policies," a YouTube spokesperson told Middle East Eye.
"YouTube doesn’t allow spam, scams, or other deceptive practices that take advantage of the YouTube community."
Explosive Media's content largely consists of animations ridiculing the US war effort against Iran and poking fun at the US president.

in reply to TheTechnician27 • • •genAI has predominantly been pushed by the US, particularly the super wealthy in the US, so that they can exploit the working class even more and pay them even less. As much as I hate genAI, seeing Iran, who was absolutely the wronged party in this completely illegal and unnecessary war of imperialist aggression on behalf of a genocidal ethnostate, turn the tool of the oppressors against them, and using it to agitate for class consciousness in the USA, is just fucking awesome, IMO.
Did you see the anti-Trump rap one? It actually goes so fucking hard.

It's comforting to me that you have to carry the level of shame that your beliefs are unspeakable in spaces dominated by sane people – and are barely even speakable in this deranged hellhole for fear that your monstrous beliefs will surface above the irony poisoning and scare away the few people with functioning consciences who stumbled into this from the front page.

We support the DPRK for all it's done for its people who the EuroAmerikans waged a war of extermination on. And not only their people but the oppressed people of the world, from the Americas to Africa supporting anti imperialist struggle the world over.

in reply to ayyy • • •Just wanted to cut through the bullshit and remind myself that when they said I think "all sides bad and ignore geopolitical context", they were definitely also referring to among the most reprehensible authoritarian regimes on Earth that they support.
Like it's some ridiculous, hand-wavey stance to think the US and North Korea (and obviously Iran, but that doesn't fully illustrate how depraved their worldview is) are simultaneously bad.

in reply to TheTechnician27 • • •Continue to ignore geopolitical context. Not like the US killed 1/5th of the north Korean population or anything. Not like everything you think you know about the DPRK comes from south Korea (which is US occupied). Stay ignorant and mad lib

in reply to TheTechnician27 • • •Yes, marxist-leninists are pro-AI. Our goal is victory for the working class, and we will use any tool at our disposal to win.
But oh no, the moralizing radlib (dubious "morals" that somehow always ignore their own genocides) has appeared. Status quo defence at any cost is the goal of the radlibs, this includes preserving hollywood's propaganda monopoly.
And the more our enemies tell us not to use it, the more we're proven right. It scares them that the people have access to this power. They hate it when the people have power, and smear it by calling it "populism".
Radlibs hate democracy.
But you can't win. You could destroy all the AI in the west, we won't care. Because the real good AI comes from china. And you can never defeat china.

I listened to it all the way through.
Although the music isn’t my usual thing, whoever made that is very clever. There’s so much small detail going on there. Brilliant sense of humour. And very talented.
I’d love to his reaction after watching one.
