Well, looks like Liverpool wasn't "safe enough" either.
[QUOTE=Paramud;51999850]Why wouldn't it make sense? Does protest require geographic proximity?[/QUOTE] It does kind of hurt your point a little if you're trying to put on a brave face and push a brave message but you cower all the way across an ocean because you want to avoid the big meanies.
Move it to north korea

[QUOTE=shian;52000396]I bet more than half of the trolls are just doing it for shit and giggles I can't imagine a pro trump troll actually planning all this[/QUOTE] why do people always feel the need to excuse weird political bullshit as 'just a joke' all the time like yeah they're totally doing it because they find it hilarious/pathetic, but the whole thing is antagonizing an anti-trump sentiment. Doesn't matter if someone is acting out of some sense of political duty or is a loner weirdo with nothing better to do, by doing this they're now pro-trump activists breaking the law in his name I feel like brushing off pepe memesters as just a joke has been weirdly damaging during this whole election, because it delegitimizes rational concerns over fucking weird behavior and rationale and lets dangerous shit happen just because who knows, it might not be THAT bad! Let's wait and see how it pans out!

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;52000605]I mean he has a record for not being entirely mentally sane[/QUOTE] Wasn't he sexually assaulted during one of his public sitting still performances?
honestly i feel bad for him but there's something real funny about a bunch of randoms from /pol/ hunt for a flag and take it down forcing him to relocate he was probably better off on a farm in deep England or Scotland, like as rural as possible but even still I think /pol/ would have no issue with that
Next challenge: Some random rice field on the side of a mountain in china.

The alt right content creators also aligned themselves with gamers so they can reframe any attack against their ideology as an attack against themselves and their base, ie an attack on gamers. Also annoying how alt right/far right present themselves as the only sane and moderate positions. They brand compassionate/moderate conservatives as "cuckservatives" and anyone any further left wing (read anybody more moderate) as far left "cultural marxists", tumblr screamers, Hillary Clinton supporters etc. I have IRL friends who fall for this bullshit and its frankly annoying - they see feminism as some new nazi movement, continually go on about not trusting MSM, spout a bunch of untruthes and talking points from [URL="https://www.youtube.com/user/SargonofAkkad100"]bullshit artists on youtube [/URL]. The some of the "alt-lite" also managed to rebrand themselves as skeptics or the voice of reason. [/rant] Being a Class B (for betacuck) cultural marxist, white genocide apologist lefty I'm sorta triggered by it all
I know the entire point of the protest was for it to be public, but honestly the dude should have just hung it inside some private property and streamed that. It would be missing the initial point of the protest, but it would drive /pol/ insane knowing they couldn't strike gold again and steal it.

[QUOTE=fruxodaily;52000649]trust me i feel some people from /pol/ would track the house and try and enter it[/QUOTE] probably, but there's a good chance that would just add further ammo to his cause. when the jokes go from dank memes about over-investing effort into capturing a flag to breaking and entering, /pol/ would no longer have the "its just a joke, bro" stance.

Seems to me that the protest has gotten very divided itself.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;52000679]It seems to have brought people together in a global game of capture the flag[/QUOTE] Would be cool if pol had a flag set up somewhere and there was some sorta of mutually consented capture the flag game with Shia's crowd. Hell just get rid of the politics and make it a competition with a cash prize - If I were a millionaire I'd so do this.
"He Will Not Divide Us" Open space -> Barricaded space -> Flag in the middle of nowhere -> Flag in another country. How can we escalate it from here? Space? Mars? [sp]Middle of an active war zone?[/sp]
