If you're a veteran of The Great Meme Wars of 2016, get in here! ITT we discuss how to help our our Austrian bros who have a re-run of their presidential election on December 4. It's right-wing candidate Norbert Hofer versus left-wing icon Alexander Van der Bellen.
VDB is a chain smoker and an alcoholic. Meanwhile, Hofer literally willed himself out of a wheelchair. That's all we need to need know for a personalized ad campaign. Let's get started with some memes as there are only 4 days left to go!
-early 2016 Austria schedules presidential election -establishment assumes the left-wing candidate (VDB) will win -surprise: right-wing candidate Norbert Hofer looks poised to win -Austrian political establishment panics -April, Hofer wins election prior to (((postal ballot))) count -antifa helps to count postal ballots -Surprise, surprise: VDB miraculously "wins" once muh postal ballots are counted >muh postal ballots -June, Brexit wins, despite 95% certain predictions of Remain win -Austrian constitutional court (somehow) declares election null and void due to postal ballot shenanigans -Presidential election re-run is rescheduled for October -Hungary re-schedules it's own "Fuck You, EU!" referendum for same day in October -Austrian political establishment panics -Ballots sent out for re-run of Austrian presidential election have (((faulty glue))) and can't be (((sealed))). Are you fucking kidding me? Re-run (((cancelled))). -Cancelled re-run is now rescheduled for early December -Meanwhile, Trump wins general election, despite 98% certain prediction of Shillary win -Austrian re-re-run of Presidential election (TBD)

Some facts about Hofer:
-He was partially paralyzed after a bad hang gliding crash -Doctors told him he would never walk again -He literally willed himself out of his wheelchair and now walks reasonably well with a cane (at least in public) -He carries a Glock, and is a big supporter of gun rights and self-defense rights for ordinary people

Here's the German version we came up with in the original version of this thread from a week ago. I'm not 100% happy with this translation, but it does feature the German word "Willenskraft" (or Will Power) which has all sorts of subliminal meanings to Austrians and Germans.

>modern nationalists have are really good at getting into small aircraft accidents
You're not just kidding, user. Who can forget what happened to the planeload of Polish nationalists whose TU-154 "crashed" near Smolensk on their way to (ironically) pay tribute to Polish nationalists murdered by Stalin at the Katyn massacre. >pic related
And let's not forget about the small airplane (((crash))) that almost took the life of Nigel Farage.
If you're a modern nationalist, Austrian or otherwise, BE CAREFUL!

So, in last week's thread, we also came up with a template for some ironic memes based on the phrase "Du bist uns ein Held!" (You are a hero to us!) along with the hashtag #UserHeld (OurHero). >pic related
Here's a little background on that discussion from a native speaker (not me):
>"Du bist uns ein Held!" ("You are to us a hero!", meaning: "What a hero you are to us!") would work really well, because the irony in this sentence is very obvious. Also the word "us" is really powerful for German speaking people, many great parties use the 1st person (plural, not singular) for their slogans. Like Merkel: "The 'We' decides". German speaking people think more collectivistic compared to you, my American friends! You're more individualistic. Therefore the emphasis on the first person plural in Germany. Russians are even more collectivistic than we are.

Here's one of the "group think" memes we came up with using the template above.
I really like the double meaning of "You are a hero to us!" Who is speaking? Voting Austrians? Or so-called "refugees"?
Cameron Lee
Here's another templated meme focusing only only VBD as a chronic chain smoker and alcoholic.
There were some Austrian cucks in the original thread who thought that highlighting VDB's chain smoking tendencies would only generate sympathy for him. Clearly, those clowns were never smokers.
As a former smoker (I quit over 15 years ago), I can promise you that I had ZERO sympathy for smokers even when I was one of them. Most smokers know deep down that they're slowly killing themselves, one cancer stick at a time.

one of my fav meems from austria , he is saying in it : for freedom love and tolerance i suck the blacks dong.

Daniel Clark
Nice. I haven't seen this one before. It's dated October 2nd, so this was made back before the Austrians cancelled the re-run due to (((faulty glue))) on the postal ballots that couldn't be (((sealed))).

A German bro (I think) posted this VDB smoking meme last week. I wish I had the tools and the skills to make memes this good.
Unconventional memes like this one are great candidates for what I call "Leave Behinds" in which you "accidentally" leave behind a meme or in this case an empty cigarette box wrapped in a meme when visiting a Starbucks or a small bar or restaurant.
Sign it as "user", and you have a legitimate piece of collectible art.

So, with just a few days left before the election on December 4th, I think Austrian anons need to combine both the digital and the analog worlds and embrace subliminal messaging. Here's a technique I used in during The Great Meme Wars (Seattle Theatre Operations).
>Operation Inversion
-Go to a bookstore or magazine shop -Find a magazine to "invert" (either literally or figuratively). This would typically be a magazine with VDB on the cover. -Find some other disconnected magazines chosen to re-frame the debate so you can make your own narrative -Place the inverted magazine in a high traffic area, usually in the middle of a display rack right at eye level -Surround this inversion with the other magazines you chose above -Subversively take a picture (for posterity) -Rinse and repeat
>pic related
In the US, you can easily spell "PEPE" using either: - 2 overlapping copies of SHAPE magazine, or - 2 overlapping copies of PEOPLE magazine
I'm sure there are similar ways to do this in Austria. The best part is that you can make these inversions in public in full view of any SJW's who happen to be in store (and who will be clueless about what you're doing).
Chase Evans
Another example of an inversion
Jeremiah Flores
Well, I think I screwed up the timing of this thread. Unless some motivated Austrians step up to the plate to keep bumping this thread, I'm afraid it'll die on the vine.

All Americans help if they draw attention to normies on Twitter, Facebook etc to it. If you get pic related to report it, it will help a lot.

Thanks for the bump. Most of my efforts in the US Theatre Operations during The Great Meme Wars were analog based, so I don't have a lot of experience using Twatter and Kikebook to re-animate the narrative.
Operation Insertion (pic related) is one way to distribute paper-based memes in public (and usually empty) free newspaper boxes and dispensers. I did this all the time in Seattle, and the SJW's and CTR shills would usually take down 80% of my memes within 3 hours in the week before the elections.
But I don't know if Austria or Vienna has such standalone newspaper boxes.

Landon Wright
You have damaged private and public property and blame your own boogeyman. Delusion or time for the asylum?
Benjamin Collins
Well, it's subliminal. People see it when they're in the store. They look at it, and it doesn't make sense (especially if the "inverted" magazine is actually upside down), so without thinking they stare at it and take in the whole picture.
The idea is to subversively and subliminally convince voters on the fence that it's not a good idea to vote for VDB.
Blake Thomas
I made both of those.
I made the Vdb one just 2 days ago.
(Fun fact: For the arabic writing, I just translated "kill all infidels" on google translator)
The reason why it's dated on october 2nd is, because this date is on the generator.
I didn't damage anything. These are unused and empty newspaper boxes with the word "FREE" all over them. They're either totally empty OR they're filled with banana peels and plastic bags filled with dog shit. Literally.
I don't glue in the inserted memes, either. I just open the door, slip them in to the plastic or metal holder that's already there, and walk away quietly.
Operation Insertion is not about vandalism. Far from it. I'm just taking advantage of what is essentially an empty billboard that hundreds (or possibly thousands) of pedestrians will see when they walk past it.
Brandon Robinson
Nice work, user. You have a real talent for meme magic.
Josiah James

Would he be in favour of leaving the EU theoretically? I know of Austria did now it would cripple their economy, but it France leaves, if Holland leaves, could Austria? EU bros lemme know what you think

Can you translate this for us Burgers? Google Translate doesn't like "vernasch" or "muezzin".
Joshua Adams
Yes and no. He says that leaving the EU should be the last resort if the EU does not change in a positive direction fast.
But the "ÖXIT" or "AUXIT" is a meme pushed by the left and (((them))) to scare the people.
Elijah Hernandez
Thanks mane. Just doing what I can, one meme at a time!

>You restored humanity for me.
By the way, since this is a bi-lingual thread, and we're all trying to help each other out, the grammatically correct way to say this is:
-You restored my faith in humanity.

"vernaschen" is used in context of eating some sweets. (Similar to "eating a snack" in english)
"Vernaschen" can be also used in context of having sex in german.

I hope one day we will have absolutely safe and inexpensive lucky strike, it's been a year since I threw away my last pack and I still get cravings Fuck you for reminding me, Frantz
Andrew Myers
Who is more likely to win the election?
van der Bellen or Hofer?
Jayden Jones
My burger friend, you actually convinced me to place some VdB memes on toilets in my University.
Charles Moore
and still blames your imaginary boogeymen for removing it. You belong into an institute or at least on heavy medication.
Ayden Moore
Bare ass Camels also taste similar to filterless Lucky Strikes.
One hopes you quit smoking altogether rather than replacing your Lucky Strikes with French Gitanes.
Elijah Foster
As last time I think again that VdB is going to win.
FPÖ just does not have enough money to place as much ads for Hofer as the Greens, ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS are doing together for VdB.
Angel Cooper
oh
Just wondering, last time, there were a lot of fake absentee ballots for van der Bellen. This election, how will they make sure absentee ballots are real, and not fake?
Ryder Robinson
Gitanes are the absolute madman smoke of choice I did quite smoking alltogether though
Landon Anderson
I guess this means you'll be voting for VDB and helping the Antifa count the (((postal ballots))).
Fair enough.
James Cook
I thought he (Hofer) was leading in most polls.
>inb4 muh polls
The fact that the election has already been cancelled twice may weigh heavily on the minds of normie voters on the fence.
Joseph Green
Why were they canceled twice?
Landon Cox
Actually the VfGH (constitutional court) couldn't find any evidence that any ballots were actually faked.
But: as almost nobody counted as the law requires them to do, the VfGH concluded that it would have been possible to rig the election.
So the actual problem is more within the elderlies where the reds (SPÖ = socialists) rigged the last state election in Vienna by forcing confused elderlies to vote for them.
Kayden Ramirez
Technically, the first election (in March) was nullified due to (((postal ballot irregularities))). There were also rumors that the Antifa had played a role in "counting" (or not counting) thousands of postal ballots.
So, the election was rescheduled for October. However, it turns out that the glue used on the 2nd set of postal ballots set out for the October re-run was (((defective))) and many voters were apparently unable to (((seal))) their postal ballots, so the election was postponed for a second time. I guess no one bothered to do a simple lick test to see if the envelopes would seal up.
You can't make this stuff up, user!
Elijah Bennett
I don't give a fuck for (((polls))). I have predicted the last outcome right and it will certainly be the same this time. There is just not enough open support for him. People see him more as the bad guy than they see VdB as the bad guy.
But reality is that VdB is just a Hillary light. Open Borders, United States of Europe, contra constitutional neutrality, pro EU army.
Ian Morales
Haha, that's actually kind of funny
What are the big issues that Hofer and Bellen are running on?
Immigration? Global trade deals?
I think the Muslims have been relatively good lately. I haven't heard about any bombings
Robert Martinez
The main campaign theme is the pushed meme (by leftists) of "ÖXIT" and "we have to help those Syrian families. No user, they are not all men! There are actually women under them!"

Here's my final OC for the day. I need to get some sleep, so I'm signing off. I hope the election goes well. There are still 4 days to make some impressions and change some minds...even if all you're doing is taping up memes in toilet stalls or "accidentally" leaving behind some memes in a Starbucks.
Small things add up to big things.
Good luck, Österreich!
