Vatican raid, when?

It was about time someone stepped up and called the Inquisition to arms.

Although the Area 51 break-in was eventually shown to hardly be achievable following warnings from security services, the buzz shows no signs of dying away, with YouYouber PewDiePie referring to the failed event as “an absolute win”. On top of this, he apparently knows how to give the hype additional steam.

Top YouTuber Felix Kjellberg, aka PewDiePie or Pewds for short, having been inspired by the massive Area 51 online flashmob craze, has proposed what he sees as a viable location for the next sweeping event – and however surprising it may seem, the area is Vatican City.

PewDiePie is pointing people towards what really matters.

Ayy lmaos in Area 51? How about Vatican Secret Archives? Are we going to let the homosexual satanic cabal that currently controls the church also control the knowledge that the real church accumulated before the takeover?

Jews killed Jesus – so why is the “Pope” hanging with them? 

Our history is at risk.

When the adventure to storm Area 51 didn’t quite go as planned, with just a handful people present rushing to take pictures with the guards instead of storming the Nevada military base, which is assumed by many conspiracy theorists to shelter extra-terrestrials, the Swedish vlogger managed to cash in on this fact. He speculated in one of his latest “Meme Reviews” that the failure is, quite the opposite, an “absolute win”, given the mass of laughable memes and jokes flooding the Internet, putting a smile on thousands of faces.

To keep the media sensation alive, Pewds went on to follow up on his video on Twitter, asking his 18.8 million followers when they would set out on a journey to the Vatican, spawning a wealth of responses, with many sharing their own wild ideas.

18.8 million Twitter followers.

That should be enough to fix this mess where the “Pope” is actually the anti-Pope.

And the church is upside down.

The solution, of course, is a crusade against heresy.

The Inquisition is coming, and it’s 18.8 million strong.

Epic fail, fellow gamers.

Don’t worry though, we’ll get them next round!

A viral prank that promised to see two million alien hunters breach the gates of Area 51 has ended with a whimper instead of a bang, drawing only a few dozen enthusiasts for the much-anticipated ‘raid.’

Initially a mock Facebook event, “Storm Area 51” quickly became a phenomenon that garnered interest from hundreds of thousands of netizens, who signed up to blaze past police and military guards to “see them aliens” at the top-secret Nevada facility. Some celebrities who’d promised to join in heated up the memeful event even more, while the authorities tried to pour cold water on even the idea of a peaceful alien-themed festival, calling it unsustainable.

So what epic action unfolded in the middle of the Nevada desert on Friday morning as the pulled-in reinforcements readied their rifles and K9 guards stood poised at the perimeter? Well, you guessed it – none of it.

Problem was, no one stuck to the plan.

Don't forget to stick to the DAMN Plan guys!!! #Area51 pic.twitter.com/AMVrQhCq1a

I think it’s clear that the “Storm Area 51” event suffered from the same problem that every internet LARP movement suffers from – lack of traction when they shift from funny memes and shitposting to actual activism.

Good optics tho:

To this day, this remains mostly the case. Normies stay on their online normie farms and rarely venture outside of the comfortable confines of said places.

Going further, the simple fact of the matter is that the internet has never been inhabited by “normal” people. It has traditionally been the domain of eccentrics and autists, and this remained true pretty much right up to the point when smartphones began to ruin everything.

To this day, most young thotties simply use their phones to browse the internet, and that means staying on popular apps like Instagram or Facebook Messenger, and that’s about it.

There were a lot of memesters that no doubt found the idea amusing, but there is absolutely no way that an internet meme could make it into an IRL successful event – this simply hasn’t ever been done. To be fair, the Alt-Right came closest but flew a little bit too close to the sun and couldn’t control its cringe factor.

I think that we will continue to see online meme movements try to make the jump into IRL with the same results.

See, no one has worked the formula out yet.

Whoever pulls this off will be the next great political genius. We’re talking on the same level as Lenin, Hitler or Eren Yeager.
