I don't expect the masons planned this - but I guess the memes finally reached the target audience. Nice.

maybe because he created the kkk.

Yep, but it's still a good opportunity to seize upon and let randoms know (all) of what Pike did.

Debatable if he was really a creator of the KKK but he was an open supporter. There is also strong evidence that he was a prominent member too, though he did not openly admit to that. He also fought for the fucking confederacy.

Overall, Pike was a treasonous and racist POS. I totally support the removal of his statue.

The removal of Grant from GGP is more confusing, imo.

He didn't create the KKK.

You're welcome.

In Europe, Pike is better known for his prediction of the three world wars and his role in freemasonry.
