Much of the publicity the fliers did get centered on racism and white supremacy rather than the “pure” anti-immigrant message the organizer had hoped for. The fliers did garner publicity, though perhaps not as much as – or the kind - the organizer had originally hoped for. Sites included Arizona State University, American University, Cal State Stanislaus, and St. On January 21, My Borders My Choice fliers appeared on a number of college campuses and other locations across the country and beyond, particularly in Germany. Prominent far right figures, including Jack Posobiec, Ben Garrison and Peter Sweden, promoted the campaign. The reaction was swift: on Twitter alone, the phrase “My Borders My Choice” was mentioned more than 8,000 times in the first several weeks of January. The organizer also reached out to the misogynists of the so-called “Manosphere” for support. News of the campaign and its graphics and hashtags spread on 4chan, 8chan, Reddit, Voat, GAB, Twitter, Facebook, Discord, and elsewhere. Enough local stories generates a national story, enough national stories…generates a planetary shock-wave.” When told that the posters were offensive for the sake of being offensive, the organizer responded that “the offense is a means to an end, not the end itself.” In other words, he was deliberately trying to offend people in order to ensure his message would be spread as widely as possible. In another post, he elaborated: “One poster taken by a brainwashed lunatic who will run to the media is all it takes to generate a local news story. “Ultimately,” the organizer explained in a post on Reddit, “they are not the intended audience, they are the key to getting the media to broadcast the message to the masses, to the public at large.” He clearly hoped that targeting college campuses and “feminist” targets, would prompt a loud outcry-which would result in media attention and a broader dissemination of his anti-immigrant message. He dubbed it the “My Borders My Choice” campaign, and emphasized a concerted effort to distribute fliers on the night of January 21 “on campuses & public spaces around the world.” The organizer urged people to place the fliers in “feminism & SJW related areas: social science & psychology departments, women’s & gender studies departments, office doors of feminist profs, etc.” In early 2018, as the meme spread, an anonymous anti-immigrant activist decided to turn it into a more organized campaign, polishing up the cartoon image and creating downloadable fliers for people to print out and post in their communities. International versions of the cartoon quickly emerged, featuring additional maps and translated into a range of languages. Later versions feminized the cartoon map by adding features such as long eyelashes, making the rape analogy even more explicit. The appropriated slogans emerged as hashtags in December 2017 on online message boards like 4chan and Reddit, often accompanied by a map of the United States rendered as a sad-looking cartoon attempting to protect itself from a grasping hand reaching up from below its southern border. The far right campaign appropriates “No Means No” and recasts “My Body My Choice” as “My Borders My Choice.” Both are used in social media and fliering campaigns aimed at immigrants.
How to circumvent Facebook’s content censorship using archive 25.At a time when women have become increasingly vocal in addressing critical issues like sexual harassment and sexual violence, reproductive rights, workplace opportunity and equal pay, a group of far right trolls have deliberately appropriated slogans from the women’s movement in service of their own xenophobic cause. ( After making the below, I found there was an updated version here…)
Some options, and their traffic indexes per, from August 2019 and now. So what are some Reddit alternatives? There is of course a subreddit for that question too. This makes it very difficult to make a new competitor, as it needs to reach a very fast growth rate to hit a sufficient number of users to stay useful compared to the traditional sites. Unfortunately, due to the way networks work, they are more useful the more other people use them (‘ network effect‘). So what can you do? Well, the first option is to migrate activity to some friendlier places.
Reddit is one such site, who is going so far as to ban people for liking the wrong comments, truly beyond STASI levels. With that in mind, you might want to avoid some of their services.
Big Tech is increasingly censorious, essentially an online oligarchical police state spreading to the offline world.
