A lost childhood toy

Everyone will remember playing with Lego blocks in their childhood, with those a bit older remembering only different coloured blocks, without the thousand extra pieces that allow battle cruisers to be built.

Most will also remember their weaponry, those sharp edges that lay underfoot in the dark, ready to slice bare feet to pieces. They are again being brought into battle, but this time as memes and from both sides of the battleground. There are many AI generated video clips showing Trump in battle, without his bone spurs.

It, however, seems a bit sad that a toy that brought so much joy is now a weapon of propaganda.
