https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45535715 Keeping in mind that "OK hand" as a white supremacy sign has been ousted as a hoax by the ADL: https://www.adl.org/blog/how-the-ok-symbol-became-a-popular-trolling-gesture
Wow. Outrage over nothing.
Isn't it only a white power sign if you hold it upside down?
Nazis ruin everything
If White Supremacists keep using the gesture intentionally, then it does become theirs. Case in point: try pulling a Roman salute in Germany while wearing an Indian symbol of peace. That being said, I do the gesture all the time and I'm not a white supremacist.
Why are people like this? why does anyone give any amount of fucks what fucking hand gesture someone doing to hold their head up? What allowed our culture to get so fucking whiney?
No, that one means you're about to get your shoulder shattered.
Wow who knew all my highschool friends were Nazis all along.
lol certainly looks like he did a white power sign there, although to be honest he can do them all he wants and i don't care.
😂👌💯💯💯
Why is this not ok but BLM signs and symbols are?
If I use the 👌 gesture and someone calls me a racist for it, I'll hit 'em with a gesture that has a much more concrete and widely accepted meaning that isn't going to change 🖕
4chan could start a hoax about how giving the middle finger to someone means that you're telling them that they have a smaller penis than God Emperor Trump, and everyone will still fall for it.
That line "It won't be tolerated." really shows how whacked those people are. "What's that? You were just sitting there not gesturing anything? You'd like us to believe that wouldn't you, you hateful, evil, piece of Nazi shit?!" "We must get offended over this nothing so that others will know that we're good people that won't stand for this!" Fucking hell.
i love people in this thread ignoring the fact that the alt-right has and always will continue to adopt common symbols into their dogwhistling to specifically fuck with people
How is it the same thing?
This is a scuba diving hand symbol
And to make people believe it was their symbol to begin with, to make it look like their ideology is spreading.
"If a right wing person does it then that automatically makes it a right wing symbol" This is the logic people are operating on now.
ADL is the most retarded thing to ever exist, I swear it's done way more harm than it has good.
the ADL link is pretty on point in my opinion, what do you think is wrong with it?
Aye, my post was stupid. my bad.
That's the black power symbol.
Nazis didn't even do this, 4chan did this to fuck with sjw/antifa, and idiots believed it. Idiots ruined everything.
So when do people start getting dishonorably discharged for flashing this baby https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/272708/b0f922c5-cd79-4fe4-b696-31a7e2bfa860/image.png
"Whatever that symbol means, it doesn't reflect the Coast Guard and our core values," Coast Guard Lt JB Zorn told NBC News. "It won't be tolerated." So they don't even know what the hell the symbol means, assumed it could be offensive, and punished the guy?
It's worth mentioning the guy who was relieved was not an active CG service member but rather a public contractor. They are held to totally different standards.
Western society is going full retard
I mean there are only so many white supremacist dog whistles that you can keep track of.
Im a racist now apparently https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/313776/b9a4ae93-061f-48dc-bda8-ba5dc8c0d5c0/15370416381091285586129.jpg
