The fact that it made it into mainstream press means it succeeded. My guess is that the goal was not actually to have the flag changed but to cause outrage, which most of these 'journalists' seem to not understand, is the point of trolling.

If they would do some research theyd know low effort stuff like this is only designed to trick the absolute dumbest people. Like when they used to make fake ads for new iphones telling people to put them in the microwave to charge. They're easy to see through unless you're an idiot

Different things have different intentions. IOKTBW had the intention of pointing out hypocrites and making anti whites show their true colors for example. The swedish flag stuff wasn't meant to actually be believed, but it would get the reader to think about how swedens traditional values are being eroded in favor of an outside invasion force. It wasn't as fun though so it wasn't pushed as hard and they moved on to corrupting an AI chat bot and figuring out the Elsagate pedo code shortly after

Funny enough by writing the article theyre actually doing what pol intended in the first place, showing thousands of people the crescent swedish flag which will then make them think, because the symbolic message implied really makes you think. Its not intended to be believed by most people, same way satire like the onion isnt intended to be believed, but the satire makes you think. Simply ignoring them would've been the better option

They don't understand how this stuff works and i don't think they ever will.

It's like baseball.

Everytime the batter misses the ball or fails to hit a home run we realize their career is coming to an end.

As for the channers, as their Swedish flag effort petered out by the end of the week, some claimed not to be too disappointed.

"Its always worth a try but [I don't care]," one told Trending. "Would be funny if it worked."

that pretty much sums it up. most pranks don't work out well, which is why it's so satisfying when one takes off with the normies. BBC gets it wrong as usual.

It was well over 4,000 signatures when I last had seen it. The prank was "failing" so badly that BBC Trending felt the need to immediately contact Avaaz to get it removed.

yeah, I suppose BBC talking about it at all shows that it wasn't really a fail.

maybe the hackers on 4chan just tried to push it this one too soon. Once Sweden is x% more Muslim I'm sure this will take off.

"Failed"

Good enough to put it on the news.

For a random imageboard that is just dicking around for the fuck of it, I'd say they did pretty well.

They really dont understand how 4chan and memes work in general on there. They throw a ton of shit at the wall and what sticks is then boosted very high. This crap had maybe 3 threads dedicated to it and it didn't gain traction, so they moved on.

Meanwhile, the IOKTBW stuff was a great success.

Theyre not trying to report facts, theyre trying to make the people who still believe their lies that pol isnt as influential anymore

Pro tip: "Russian shills" is codeword for "shit 4chan did" in the media. Actual russian shills aren't really focusing on that as much. There are way more israeli shills on pol compared to any other countries

The saddest part about all of this is that flag and the memes surrounding it are from last year. The one where Sweden is getting fucked is the funniest.
