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.
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
It's hard to build things via chaos
The reason 4chan has been so successful is the lack of any leaders or recognisable figures for the most part.
Well i wouldent be suprised if they took the tyt chalange and went and fucked over with their TYT army.
That call to arms of theirs was some high level cringe
Impossible to target. The left needs lives to ruin.
The reason 4chan has been so successful is that 'being an ass' is a lot easier to organize than 'being nice'

im thinking of selling straight antifa shirts in my store
