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.
