like @spamking I really didn't know about it until the Kavagnah thread.
and I was surprised, because I thought I was in the know, regarding White power lingo and signals.
like 88, the number 14 and what it signifies.
had no idea that this "ok" sign was anyway affiliated with white power.
and frankly I'm still kinda skeptical.
A bunch of alt-right types like Milo and Cernovich started doing it in pictures a while back. Somewhere on the internet, right wing trolls said it meant white power, and circulated that information. So people continued making the signal after that information was around, to either mean "white power" or to pretend to mean "white power" to troll people.
It's basically a bunch of idiots making a sign that is now associated with white power, so that they can say, "Ha! I'm making a sign that I know is associated with white power, but I'm going to say it's just an okay sign and call leftists crazy, even though we are the ones who said it means white power, and then keep making it."
So it's an elaborate troll by manchildren so that they can make a signal they've claimed means "white power" while also claiming it doesn't actually mean that.
In a nutshell, it's a perfect example of why our entire society needs to stop supporting internet trolls.
