Is this the one with the blurred out guy squatting in sand? My work TV has some genericized national weather/news lite stream and every 6 minutes, I see Israel crying about someone else launching missiles.
Advertising for a fucking war that another nation started. If that's not dystopian, then I don't know what is.
Anyone seen these ads? Have they managed to not peddle islamophobia?
I got one via YouTube, I think I was so shocked to see that wars have pr campagins and advertising spend now that I forgot the actual details.
Theme gist was that Iran developing nuclear weapons was a threat to world stability and isreal was stepping up to do what had to be done etc. etc.
No mention of Islam but given it's a PR campaign I would be surprised if they connected race or religion to their motivation for bombing.
I have a feeling that the internet and other comms would be shutdown or heavily censored in any country undergoing a coup attempt. Most countries have emergency powers for stuff like this and coups aren't reserved just for autocratic regime's like Iran's.
In the USA it's been used (very locally) before, but the system has been in place for well over a decade.
coups aren't reserved just for autocratic regime's like Iran's.
I think I'm picking up what you're putting down, and yeah I agree. Any suggestions for how to prepare for a work around?
heavily censored in any country undergoing a coup attempt.
I guess it could be way worse, but the internet is already a different place than it was this time last year.
I guess ham radio, Meshtastic, neighbours. In all likelihood, when it happens to us, unless we're participating in some resistance already, we'll just be getting the announcement of the result and then figure out how to react to it.

Just to add some info
I definitely think it's worth exploring and perhaps integrating into wider protest goals (ie, an objective of these protests being to come to consensus of alternative means of communications and inform the public of such a contingency)
This seems normal given the fact that Israel is trying to destabilize Iran through different ways, be it social interference through social media networks, or direct cyber warfare targeting Iranian institutions.
As of around Wednesday I believe Israel has also increased censorship of publishing video of Iranian strikes.
