Guess y'all forgot about the time the Ok was deemed white supremacy against the MAGA crowd. And we mock them so hard about it.
In 2017, the “okay” hand gesture acquired a new and different significance thanks to a hoax by members of the website 4chan to falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters “wp,” for “white power.” The “okay” gesture hoax was merely the latest in a series of similar 4chan hoaxes using various innocuous symbols; in each case, the hoaxers hoped that the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist.

This is different though. It’s 666, not “ok”.
They're the same symbol.
Exactly.
You guys are both wrong. He's throwing up the symbol for the Van Buren Boys.

Some of the guys I know that were in on this were doing it to see reactions. ANY reactions. Because it isn't really a hoax it people are doing it for the reasons of virtue signaling. I saw lots of actual wp people taking it up because, why not? If I went up to them and said making this or that random symbol means wp, then even if I made it up and they still took it and passed it on, it wouldn't be a hoax. It would be a meme. Memetics. In group, outgroup virtue signaling. Obviously wp isn't a classical "virtue" but that's not what signalling is really about. For example there are many catch phrases in the MAGA movement that are repeated simply for the purpose of signaling "I'm one of you". I really dislike it for some reason. Rubs me the wrong way.
But it would be a fundamental misunderstanding of the chans if one thinks they are always on one side or another. People doing it, or talking about it, or discussing how it's wrong or right, either side, is the goal. Not getting the left and MSM to overreact so much as getting ANYONE one conservative or liberal platforms to be disruptive due to their hijinx. Simple as that. Doesn't need to be a serious political move every single time something happens! Ever watch jack ass? Imagine if a whole theory and canon developed around those videos. Lol. Nope. They were doing it to each other long before it became profitable and viral. And THEN they started making more calculated moves. Still just for financial gain. And the laughs.
This is correct. Loads of people were doing the OK symbol in response to the left outrage. The finger position in particular because the left said it was a W and a P. White Power.
