I was at a pride march early sunmer and there was a “Iranian government protest” that I randomly came across. What made it clear for me that these ‘protests’ are influence campaigns by some other state were the music was pure AI (it sounded exactly like “we are charlie kirk”), a pride flag, a Israeli flag, and a Ukrainian flag. Waving a USA flag would have looked like it was in its natural habitat.

Seeing all the people holding lion and sun flags listening to an american AI song wailing about some bullshit and I don’t know how anyone can believe these protests aren’t orchestrated by some foreign government. There’s nothing genuine about them!
