When the Iran War started, the most effective weapon wasn’t a missile. It was a Lego video. A group of anonymous students in Iran used AI, Lego-style animation, and rap music — in English — to create propaganda videos that went viral across every platform. The Wall Street Journal called it “Lego-ganda.” The New Yorker called them “inescapable artifacts of the war.” They were referenced at Coachella. And a propaganda scholar said: “They’re using popular culture against the No. 1 pop culture country.” In this episode, I decode exactly how Iran used Edward Bernays’ own techniques — the same ones he invented for America 100 years ago — and turned them against us using children’s toys. Then I show you why “entertainment beats authority” is the most important marketing lesson of 2026.
