    • Ya, he was deliberately dropping signs left and right for at least 10 minutes straight. He does it during every speech, even when on Fox News.utopian
    • huh? every single speaker at some point will do that with their hands.inteliboy

    • The whole point was to take a common gesture and make it a white nationalist symbol, in case that wasn't obvious.yuekit
    • it's trolling, in case that wasn't obvious eitherGnash
    • triggering the special kids get is the pointGnash
    • For some it’s trolling. For others it’s a deliberate symbol of being part of something, and it isn’t good. It’s not benign anymore and you know it.monospaced
    • only the triggered get triggered by the triggering. everyone else somehow managesGnash
    • Sure, it's an attempt at trolling...from white nationalists. Worth getting offended over? No. But I don't see the point of cheering it on by posting stuff likeyuekit
    • this. They did in fact try to co opt the OK symbol as some stupid joke, people didn't make it up.yuekit
    • I mean is this an example of "triggering the libs"? haha so funny

    • oh grow a pair. catastrophizing is exactly what the little dopes with their OK signs want.Gnash
    • it's little dopes flashing signs at other little dopes. be it an OK sign or a fist in the air, it's infantile on both sidesGnash
    • No one is catastrophizing whatever that means, I am just pointing out that it is a symbol they actually use. The fact that someone, at some other point inyuekit
    • history, used an OK symbol is irrelevant. This whole idea that we can't point out what they are doing without being "triggered" is silly.yuekit

    • Doesn't mean everyone who uses it is a literal nazi. But when you share an in-joke with people who actually are those things, might be worth asking why.yuekit
    • neither is everyone who uses this gesture in ISIS https://archive.is/I…Gnash
    • but ISIS uses it every time they cut off someones head in video. Shall we also catastrophize that?Gnash
    • like these numb-nuts do?

    • is it 'worth asking why people' use the allah is one gesture?Gnash
    • I'd say depends on the context. If it's something all of the billion plus Muslims out there do then it's a bit meaningless.yuekit
    • On the other hand if it's a gesture that other Islamic extremists use along with ISIS then yeah that would seem to be significant.yuekit
