for some reason no one cares

It couldn't have anything to do with race, could it?

Let's not jump the *gun*.

I hate that that can be an actual pun

But you're right. This is really quiet.

Wow, a well structured argument in a news article, I had almost given up hope.

It's also sad how it hints at the ways media steers the conversation away because it's not what the public thinks about in terms of mass shooting

Interesting, this is the first I'm hearing of this as well.

I was wondering where all the lefty protestors went, I guess Portland:

im surprised 4chan doesnt just make flyers for rallies, the far left would show up and fuck shit up even if the event is fake

Pretty sure they've tried.

I think these rallies need some core of community organizers to actually amount to anything.

None of them are organic groundswell kind of things. There's always someone paying the bills.

i mean fake rallies

Yeah, 4chan has tried that kind of thing in the past I'm pretty sure. Never goes anywhere because without actual community organizers nobody shows up.

no....

fake rallies

Yeah, 4chan has made posters for fake rallies. Nobody shows up.

What if 4chan takes an astroturf approach? Make a bunch of accounts all following each other on several social media sites, and post propoganda for a fake rally.

Just having posters won't help

Man, they do that kind of thing all the time.

So much that people are on to them.

The place is monitored pretty heavily.

Its complicated over at 4 chan

Ops are mostly planed at discord these days

You only get ppl interested in issues at 4chan

There are literally researchers scraping the site for data.

So you can pretty much guarantee that lefties have people monitoring it.

Like https://boards.4chan.org/pol/thread/176078050

Anyone can find that.

im always impressed by how powerful 4chan can be on a whim but how it cant actually pull off high level shit

one person working for the government can shift the entire political conversation overnight

4chan can find a flag in a desert

It was entertaining to fuck with Shia because there was immediate gratification. There was a stream. I can guaran-fucking-tee you if there was a stream of the Portland ICE protest 4chan would be all over that shit.

4 chan can be very useful for political campaigns as long as you kow how to use it

There was also near immediate gratification for the "It's OK to be white" campaign. How many hours from inception before it had news coverage?

Imo they did have some impact last election in the US

But if you have something that's slow-burning 4chan just doesn't have the attention span for it.

But their decentralised structure is their biggest strength and biggest weakness at the same time

You only succeed as long as you get ppl invested in some cause and present them with a way to contribute over internet
