Mike Ma is a far-right online provocateur and the creator of the Pine Tree Party, a loose online movement that rejects urban life in favor of eco-nationalism. The tree iconography makes reference to the famous “appeal to heaven” flag, a traditional symbol of New England during the 1770’s that argues for the right to revolution. Some members of the group advocate more extreme measures such as ousting illegal immigrants and sabotaging infrastructure.
