Here’s how a Sup Forums hoax galvanizes, spreads, and creates chaos: Operation Swedistan edition

On Wednesday, the campaign became even more complex when a new4chan threadclaimed that at least two foreign news outlets had picked up the story. The poster put up an imageof anarticlefrom a Swedish outlet that said that Sup Forums users were behind a fake petition to change Sweden's flag. The thread also provided further instructions: “Any press claiming they have exposed the 'Alt Right Hoax' should be informed that 'the alt-right hijacked the movement to give it less credibility' and that the petition/ majority of the movement is real.” The comment was a clear attempt to abdicate responsibility for the campaign, sow confusion, and promote skepticism of mainstream media: right out of thepro-Trump media playbook.
The #ForBetterSweden campaign has not been promoted by prominent pro-Trump trolls and far-right websites (other than Infowars), but that could change. Moreover, while this particular xenophobic Sup Forums campaign is a stunt orchestrated primarily to elicit reactions, it’s worth noting that Sup Forums has previously launched sincere, anti-immigrant campaigns designed to harm real people. In January, users on the “Sup Forums” message boardencouraged othersto trick Twitter users who are undocumented immigrants in the U.S. into publicly outing themselves so they could be reported to the federal government for deportation.
The Sup Forums message board is a notoriousoutrage machineon the front lines of the online culture wars. Users create politically relevant, emotionally salient troll campaigns with the intention of dividing progressive communities and distracting from real social issues. In this case, the issue is a real, growinganti-Muslim backlashto recent upticks of violence in Sweden, including anincrease in hate crimesagainst Sweden’s Muslims and even those perceived to be Muslims.

Lowkey admitting that the Swedish people are growing tired of the invasion

Love it. Every campaign that opposes left-wing ideals are troll campaigns.
Christian Lopez
We did do this, i was in the OG thread discussing this too. Glad it provoked leftist idiots to take the bait, helping spread the redpill. That's what it was for. I hope the Brit that launched it comes by here

Grayson Jones

Matthew Ward
Normie media only does it because this site has a reputation of success so whenever we fail it has to be pointed out. Imagine being excited that you made a rhodesian herpatologist forum look bad online. Sad!
Jason Turner

Parker Gomez

Jacob James
we are like lab rat scrutining all our movements
Asher Parker
Sometimes I wonder if BBC and others are secretly working for the wrong side, publicizing troll materials such as this for the world to see. Even just one reader is enough to raise awareness and satisfy the goal of the campaign's original intent.
Jace Diaz
>Sup Forums hoax
I've honestly never seen that one. What is it, Poe's law? Looks like a legit leftie thing to me.
John Moore
Were you even there? The whole thing was created by a Brit with Nordic/Anglo ancestry and whilst many Swedes disapproved of the plan it was still done for the reason of provocing normal Swedes should they see it to open their eyes
Xavier Powell
wtf this is al bullshit
Wyatt Garcia
>implying they wont do this in the next 10 years
Blake Lee
At least they are starting to realize that we harness the power of chaos.
Easton Richardson
