Overprivileged White Lady Calls "Okay" Gesture "White Power" Gestur, Fake News Sites Report It...

It’s still pretty handy if you need to look up how to spell stuff.

And yet the OP yields such gems as “gestur” and “completely-idiotic”.

It’s like a Master Race to the bottom.

The right wing version does not have the thumb and forefinger forming an open circle, but clenched tightly enough to crush a ball bearing.

Speaking of that, when I looked for info on if the Nazis were also Grammar Nazis I found that in general they were not, it has to do with the anti intellectualism component that shows up a lot among authoritarians and fascists.

We know how righties play. they build the deniability in up front, so when “caught” they can say: “Oh, we didn’t mean that. How can you think that? You must be the ones with the problem.”

That in nutshell is what that scientific racist that wrote The Bell Curve did, and his supporters are doing it also in the “interesting” podcast of Charles Murray thread in the pit too.

Terrorist fist jab, you mean.

Well it’s proven that this “teaching method” preferred by cruel idiots is absolutely ineffective.
And what do you know ->

Also that satire/fake news site may have some point as liberals are indeed much more intelligent than those one-track-minded conservatives who are too stupid to develop mental illnesses ( except violent rampages ).

You know who makes all the inventions in the world ? Liberals. Your computers, phones, cars, televisions, and everything. All by liberals. You got everything that makes you life good and easy from liberals. If conservatives would’ve had their way we’d still be living in caves. You know, those people who think “we ain’t no needin’ those newfangled contrapshuns, our ancestors were fine without 'em and so shall are us.” With that kind of mindset it is impossible to make even the simplest inventions.

Or can you GWH actually name one good thing developed by your dear conservatives ?

Pretty sure this is obligatory.

In Brazil, it means roughly, “Go get fucked in the ass”.

Nitpick, but the Yahoo! News story is from The Independent, so your two cites are really only one.

I really, really do not understand the issue here. When did the OK gesture become an alt-right thing? Is this an alt-left conspiracy?

Yup. They’re getting easier for me to spot. Note to trolls: You gotta ease your way in.

I would be right there with you, however, I’ve heard about the frog. Just when you think right wingers weren’t batshit loony enough, they go out of their way to exceed your expectations.

Weird but not rare, I have seen it with gangs in Phoenix, one decided to use the number 602 as in one of the telephone codes in the area. It lasted until the police began to tell the public to watch for the ones wearing that number. Then I noticed a gang starting to use the diamond motif in a few schools I work or help.

Harder to look as worrisome or to be considered a code because the local baseball team are the Diamond Backs and the prevalence of Jewelers like Jared (He went to the president :slight_smile: ] or the [del]Shame[/del] Shane company. Still it was hard to miss when students or groups of youths doing dubious things began to wear clothing with diamonds shown prominently. It also stopped to the expected random levels after the police also reported the attempted copping of the word/symbol. It is clear to me that the idea is to pass their group allegiances under the radar of parents and teachers, it works and sometimes for a long time.

The reason why this is done has another benefit for the gangs, sometimes it can be turned around to get a group like the conservative media to unwillingly support the ones copping a symbol. I do remember how there was a group that in a Cinco de Mayo school celebration was busted for “just” wearing the American Flag and the conservative media ran with the narrative that the kids needed to be commended and not suspended as it was framed as “hey this is America not Mexico! The bullies have a right!” that was a good point but it missed a ton of context, as I found when I did investigate the images used:

Who knew Steph Curry was a white supremacist? Or ObamaBill Clinton

Those white supremacists are everywhere.

You just love deliberately “misunderstanding” things, don’t you?

Shut the fuck up, Donny, you’re out of your element.

Coming up next: what used to be the “peace” sign now is a hate symbol. Signifying that there are only two genders.

So now is it a hate symbol or not? Have we made up our minds?
