Disgusting.

I am surprised this is even a thread.

I am also not surprised that DCUM’s finest buys into the propaganda of terrorist and totalitarian regimes.

Maybe, but Iran killing 40,000 of their own citizens in 2 weeks is also horrifying. You barely see the US using that for propaganda to fire back at Iranian memes.

The US — funding and supporting Israel— has very dirty hands. Any attempts to sugarcoat US behavior with propaganda will be confronted with the dirty truth. Better to stay out of it than to invite rebuttal, no? Don’t fights that your ass can’t cash. People like Trump and Hegseth never learned that.

No smart GenZ-er would want to be caught dead working for those people right now. They are very well informed and do not think highly of our government.

Gen-Z the first generation to be dumber than the previous generation. Once the last boomer and few competent Gen-X people retire we will quickly devolve back to the Stone Age.

Stupendously wrong. The US is getting absolutely steamrolled by China, Iran, and Russia in the virtual propaganda war space. It is as if the US isn't even trying.

Iran constantly sends out zingers like this that get millions views:

All the social media Americans use has been flooded with foreign propaganda, especially since the war started. It is highly noticeable.

Surprise, incels and maga dorks aren’t cool enough to be funny. It’s like watching Elon Musk wearing a leather jacket or something.

Well, first they point out for that number has no basis in reality. Then they would probably point out the fact that the US is a pretty ugly place and has engaged in policy that’s killed a countless number of people, especially since January 2025. Then they’d probably point out that we’re killing our own soldiers and spending our own money to protect a country that has been murdering men, women, and children for decades.

The sad truth is that we don’t really have any ammunition in any kind of war of righteousness.

They are emphasizing DUI hires and watering down fed job requirements so more of those types of less intelligent people can be hired.

What has our country done for GenZ-ers that they would be patriotic and engage in soft power competition.

Memes don’t change minds.

Define bad.

They have an audience of 1. And to a much lesser extent, that one person's cult followers.

The audience of one and his cult followers love what the WH puts out.

Why doesn't DoW hire an army of GenZ to make memes and posting wars on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, TT, Reddit etc.? Iran, China, and Russia dominate the space and make the US look so bad with their epic trolling jobs that embarass the US and win over the minds of the rest of the world. Is there a reason the US is so bad at modern day propaganda?

And spare me the junk about propaganda neing in main stream news sources. Those are for dinosaur boomers. The real propaganada wars on platform like TT and Twitter. Iran has been owning Trump, the DoW, and the US in general in the space.
