It is just like with the swastika. The symbol was totally OK, till the Germans co-opt it.

Wife tells era poster that she left her phone in an uber, era poster believes it and is texting her side piece.

I can't believe the ok sign thing came back 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

They were trying to argue that you can easily tell someone's politics, inclinations and motivations by the media they consume and the sort of settings and situations they write, along with the same "everything is political" rhetoric everyone has come to know and love

If you write a story with a functioning police department or constabulary as window dressing, it reveals your attitudes toward normalization of law enforcement and its oppression

If there's a race of irredeemably evil demons established as the villains, a justifiable genocide target, that's clearly allegorical toward how you look at real-world races

If you include a rape allegory or colonialist baggage, that's some white people bullshit to which we say "no thank you"

I bet these people can even name their favorite pieces of classical music too, not slick muhfuckas

And, additionally, the fact that there are millions of people who don't even know this is a white power symbol, and get really angry when you explain to them that it is

Oh, people push back when you're straight up gaslighting them to their face?
whoda thunk it

e:
I also note that the initial tweet has been deleted, and the linked article is real wishy-washy onwhether its actually a white power symbol, and - surprise! - the entire incident stems from someone complaining on twitter in the first place

comparing people getting upset about a white power sign to people getting upset at someone supporting black lives matter?

that's gonna be a yikes from me dawg

How 'bout comparing peoples jewish identity to being a choice like what haircut to get?

(also preeeeeeeeeeetty sure Ex-Actarus isn't long for this digital era world based on what he said and whos quoting him)

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

I'm trying to game theory out what benefit there is to refusing the premise "No, it's just the OK symbol, don't over react, it makes you look hysterical to people not already embedded in your stupid ongoing twitter culture war and you alienate them by screaming WHITE POWER at them", and... I'm just not seeing where it is in anyones best interests to take what was an obvious troll at face value, even accepting the premise white supremacists did accept the symbol.

Its not like obvious white supremacists are solely identifiable by the use of an ambiguous symbol; at best you 'prove' your confirmation bias, because the people you're mentally categorising as definitely doing this and the people you're mentally excusing as not doing that are people you already have opinions on.

[BisMarckie]

I dunno;  that fan probably knew what they were doing.

But that's just a probably;  most people have no clue about the stupid white power OK sign co-opting.

Would be hilarious if he got barred from the stadium or something lol

I don’t see the Cubs ownership group being that interested in taking that side in the culture war.

[Himu]

So how do they know the kid’s intentions? They take his phone and inspect it to see if he makes white supremacist posts?

How do they know the difference between white power and the kid meme-ing everyone at home like this?



I can’t believe an mlb team is doing this shit.

What the Christ.

Knew what they were doing I.E. the circle game, only weirdos online know about the baby-nazis co-opting the sign

[BisMarckie]

Edit:


Marrec is a biaaaatch.

[SmokyDave]

I’m surprised 4chan haven’t made ‘liking MCU movies’ into an alt-right thing. It would be hilarious to watch reset deal with that one.

I’m impressed that such an obvious ‘troll’ has proven to be devastatingly effective.

[Himu]

We should make a new baseball stat for this tbh

Racists per team

RPT

The new most important baseball stat. More important than WAR and ERA. Trout? Altuve? Move on over!

Boston would win.

You don't have to use her. There's other units.

Totally possible;  just trying to think who the fuck does the "circle game" to a camera at a baseball game?

And it wasn't on his crotch.. which I thought was the point of the circle game.

The venn diagram of white dudes who still do the circle game and white dudes who go to baseball games is probably almost a perfect circle.

Dropping ballpark food 2 separate times is an insidious symbol of white supremacy based on this obscure 4chan post from 2012, thread (1/32)

Can you do multiple 15 minute long videos in other sports of people getting hit in the groin? I don‘t think so.

this topics already getting spicy with the "OKAY I'LL JUST LIVE IN A HOLE THEN" type passive-aggressive replies

It's true though? "average americans" are saddled with untold amounts of debt, yet still blow countless dollars on shit they can't afford in an effort to keep up with the joneses.

Obviously some of the list is bullshit, but the underlying messaging is true. When I wanted to stop accruing debt, I cancelled cable, stopped eating out, and cancelled other non-essentials that were ballooning my monthly budget. Now, I have money left over every month and almost zero non-mortgage debt.

How dare people try to live the only life they have.

This is the same forum bringing up fucking guillotines at every opportunity, right?

I think dude is legit thinking people are buying $91 worth of USB cables every month.

Era where anyone doing an ok sign is absolutely a white supremacist but people using well known anti semitic language aren't

Is still cowardly scummy to do that sign full aware of this, specially dragging other people on it.

Pretty sure the intention was that, just get an emotion for the people “in the known”. Feels pretty obvious in this case.

Reminds me of that Coke ad from some years ago, with the little girl saying she wasn't worried about the economical crisis, because her family would just stop going out for sushi and wine every week, and get pizza and coca-cola instead.

goddamn the most i ever hit was like $95 until i dropped the tv part and just went with internet

No one should ever have to bear responsibility for their decisions in life and the consequences that stem from them. We shouldn't demand things of people just trying to live their life.

Modern sport in general is some "good ole boys"/redneck alt-right shit

Cheering for a team and trash talking others promotes attitudes of tribalism and makes it feel more acceptable in other venues

If the Cubs know what they're doing they won't alienate their only remaining audience in current year

There's a difference between people that are actually poor and your average REE user (ie, someone that has no life skills) who complains on their $800 iPhone surrounded by a shelf full of $100 collector editions of video games that they can't get enough groceries for $50 at Whole Foods and so the government should just give everyone the same amount of money regardless of their actual skills or contributions.

Do you guys think the persistent old wives' tale/folk knowledge that women don't fart or fart way less than men could be attributed to the fact that they don't have a prostate that swells up and displaces air every time they have a horny thought
