I’m not sure if it’s clear from the article, but 4Chan is actually hacking ISIS websites and modifying the photos to replace the faces with rubber ducks.

I’m sorry to have to say, I think it’s pretty tasteless. Do you know where ISIS/Daesh got the idea for those orange boiler suits from?

The whole aim of 4Chan is to be tasteless and iconoclastic, mainly to challenge the mass hysteria that political propaganda endeavors to generate. 4Chan was instrumental in the birth of Anonymous: https://stuartjeannebramhall.com/2015/04/19/anonymous-a-global-force-to-be-reckoned-with/

‘4Chan, an image-based bulletin board where people used their anonymity to post the vilest and most disgusting images, comments and memes they could think of. The primary goal was to think up new ways of offending people. This included creative trolling and hacking of mainstream websites, often by plastering them with pornographic images.’
Sorry, I’m having difficulty understanding how this is helping to build a better world.

From my point of view, real change will only occur when we challenge the ubiquitous pro-corporate indoctrination and propaganda that saturates our lives. I also think we need to accept that young people may approach this challenge differently than we do.
As 4chan began to attack corporate and political targets, it played an important role in politicizing many of its members – causing them to think about media propaganda and myths in new ways.

Unfortunately, if their methods alienate large numbers of people who might otherwise be shown the insidiousness of ‘pro-corporate indoctrination and propaganda’, it seems to me those methods could be seen as counter-productive of the desired result.

Well, Alan, they seem to be enormously popular with young people – the whole Anonymous movement grew out of 4Chan.
