I used to think it was ridiculous to say šš¼ is used as a sign for white nationalists. Now I believe it. The whole point of a dog whistle is for it to be hidden in plain sight.
That was the point IIRC. 4chan /pol/ came up with the idea to ruin the OK hand gesture because it was ridiculous and funny to them.
Thankfully my friends know I would never mean this because this ours one of my default emoji. Unless itās specifically the hire one and not yellow, in which case, if one of my friends used white emoji Iād definitely question them directly on it.
Ricky RigatoniNow people are going to think Italians are fascist. And Italians have never been fascist. š
Itās literally the first time Iām reading of this.
Damn, there are benefits to not being terminally online I guess
I go see what the fascists are saying directly in their safe spaces once and awhile instead of hearing about it 2nd+ hand. Do not recommend.
To be more specific: The sanitized idea in their non-verbatim words (I think this was in the lead up to the first Trump campaign?) was to see if āleftistsā would let them ruin an already long established funny hand gesture to the point anyone who wasnāt white nationalist would stop doing it out of fear.
Then alt right grifters picked it up and it kinda workedā¦if you let them have that win.
I thought it was an upside down ok symbol, not the regular one?
