Inside Marine Le Pen's "Foreign Legion" of American Alt-Right Trolls
4channers and other "meme warriors" are battling for France's far-right presidential candidate.
>Vladimir Putin isn't the only onetrying to attackthe French presidential election. Far-right trolls and meme warriors like the kind whohelped elect Donald Trumphave found a new calling: "The Battle of France." There's no way of telling what real-world impact it's having, but with the vote just a few days away, activity in support of right-wing candidate Marine Le Pen has reached a fever pitch on Reddit, Sup Forums/pol/, and otheronline forums popular withthe American alt-right.
>"All shitposting units are required to man their battle stations," declared a recent Sup Forums post . "Meme war recruits: prove your worth. Veterans, lead the charge.... MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN." The post urged 4channers to join a Discord forum dubbed "Operation: Marine Le Kek," where at any given moment up to about 450 participants are conducting meme "raids" to hype their candidate and attack her centrist rival, Emmanuel Macron. Using fake French identities and sock puppet social media accounts, they've hijacked Twitter hashtags, social media posts, and comments sections on news sites with memes portraying Macron as a stooge of Jewish financiers who will sell out the working class and capitulate to Muslim terrorists.
>Macron as a stooge of Jewish financiers who will sell out the working class and capitulate to Muslim terrorists. Because he is.

It will never cease to amaze me how the entire political arena is basically on edge constantly thanks to faceless internet shitposters.

The reality is we're the preverbial men's locker room, we can have these conversations and host these thoughts and transmit them through memes.
They are just sad they are winning
Josiah Young

Alexander Torres
They probably should focus on the fact that Macron is tax evader.
>linking to motherjones instead of using archive link >mobile version of all things.
You should consider tasting the rainbow and becoming an hero.
Carson Myers
At least there's some mainstream representation of kekistanies now!
But seriously am I the only user who doesn't think the media is accurate in conflating "muh alt-right" with Sup Forums/meme/online culture in general? Like - most of what they discribe as "alt-right" is just general internet culture - and hell most of Sup Forums is discussion of political topics rather than explicitly political discussion (if that makes sense) and most of us don't give two shits about political discourse.

zozzed hard
Hopefully no Sup Forums posts declare a new crusade
Tyler Cook
why are we called trolls? do they even know what the definition of a troll is? we are concerned citizens and patriots who dont want our country flushed down the toilet or want to see our european brothers do the same
Brandon Richardson
They do nothing but watch us
Samuel Scott
They are Jews and believe that you are subhuman cattle. It bothers them when they aren't in complete control of information.
That's the crazy bit. Same thing with alleged Russian hackers releasing Clinthole's e-mails to wikileaks.
Like, suppose that's all true. Suppose she actually was hacked. But... she fucking did it. She had illegal e-mails. Suppose that evil hacker Sup Forums exposes Macrons ties to international banking... he fucking has those ties. He literally does. They're not showing anything untrue.

Looks like I made the news again. I made that "Mummy needs you" image. They're using it to say we've conducted some massive operation, but in reality we couldn't even execute that plan effectively. Jesus Christ these people are dumb
Isaiah Nguyen
shit like this always makes me wonder
Fucking shill cuck
Luke Perry
You guys got it all wrong. This has been part of the leftist playbook since before the internet. The Clintons in particular love this move. When they were being tracked down for things like their criminal involvement in Whitewater, they were able to manipulate the media by saying there was a "vast, right-wing conspiracy" against them, therefore don't believe any evidence of their wrongdoing.
Blaming Sup Forums is just a variant of that. They want to build up in peoples' minds that there's some shadowy organization of mustachioed men lurking in the bushes out there, just waiting to get everyone. Now, everyone with half a brain knows that's fucking retarded. But there are lots of dumb feminazis and other libtards who love grabbing any excuse to be triggered, so they buy it. Meanwhile, the rest of us think it's fucking HILARIOUS so we celebrate it in threads like this.
Adam Nelson
Don't know who released all those Hillary and Podesta emails.....but the Dems finally got that transparency they were always talking about.

Since we made them report false news with O-KKK they are wary .. it'll pass don't worry.

I don't think so, Etienne. I think it's far more beautiful than that. They're going to stay here because we give them such cheap scoops like this. But they're going to get red pilled. They won't be able to help it. 2017 is really the best timeline. Vote FN!

What is up with all these losers making threads to shill their terrible Sup Forums articles? Every day I'm seeing raw links to gay blogs like slate, salon motherjones and their clickbait "investigations" into Sup Forums. How thirsty can you "writers" get?

The thing we have to remember these leftist faggots are still wobbly from the Trump victory. Most of them believed that his winning the primaries was an impossibility and instead of realizing that if one impossibility could happen then two could. In their mind it was simply doubly impossible for him to win the general. They've been casting about for a reason, any reason to explain this calamity. They are frightened and disoriented. It's part of why Sup Forums has so much power right now, no real opposition. The leftist world has collapsed and they are still picking through the wreckage.

Let me tell you something, kid. I was like you once. I thought if I just held different opinions from the libs, but was reasonable, we could have productive discussions that would culminate in growth and better ideas for everyone.
The problem is, that doesn't account for how a libtard thinks.
They will literally call any dissent from their batty ideas racism. There is nothing you can do about that. To disagree with them makes you a Nazi, period. No matter what.
So, you can't appease them. And sucking up to them won't work either, because you'll always be fucking a white male. Look at their beta nu-male orbiters. See how they treat them. Is that what you want to be? Because that is the best to which you can aspire by joining their cause.
Instead, the solution is to be a fucking man. They hate it when men act like men, so do it. Embrace the extremes. Don't apologize for your beliefs. And if they try to paint you with shit you don't believe, tell them to fuck off. But don't act by half measures. Seize the ideas, and the rest will naturally follow.

That's such a cool meme. It's well drawn and very visually powerful, it shows a continuation and really demonstrates a concept of lineage and obligation.
