Yeah, it started as a "trick", except other Neo-Nazis and the like started using it in complete seriousness. Once that started happening, people reported on it, then the *channers claimed victory for the success of their "trick" in getting people to think Nazis used it as a white power signal (which is exactly what was happening). They basically gave the OK hand sign the Pepe treatment; it's now another thing Neo-Nazis and such are doing entirely unironically. Edit: In case you're wondering how the OK hand sign could be a white power signal, the idea is that the three extended fingers are a W, and the finger circle + arm make a P. WP, "White Power".

This basically sums up the entirety of internet Nazism. You start saying extremely ludicrous, far right nonsense for the thrill of being transgressive and absurd, then the protective layer of irony erodes over time, leaving the opinion intact, but held sincerely. For example: Pizzagate.

Just noticed they're looking at her giving the "Ok" hand signal, because anon tricked a dumb news site into thinking it was a White Pride symbol. And now it probably is one because once something is ironically a white pride symbol it is just actually a white pride symbol. e: I should read more, this was covered.

If you are "ironically" using something as a neo-nazi sign in public you may in fact be a neo-nazi. This covers ironic racism as well.

conservatives learned the power of humor from years of being embarrassed by people mocking them. now they employ irony to cutting effect, which means they just say what they've been saying before, which is what they believe with full sincerity, except without the danger of someone harming their ego.

One positive side effect is if nazis co-opt every meme and emoji there will no longer be memes or emojis. Keep up the good work, you hateful dross both near and far! Edit: in truth I prefer when racists wear their SS armbands loud and proud because they are easier to block and/or hit with my car.

What's going on here? Is that cartoon complaining that Macron is pro EU and therefore leeching money from Germany, while Merkel doesn't realize how much she got duped? Because that would be ridiculously tone deaf. Or is that just some EU politician who takes money from Germany which is of course bad? That would also be kinda stupid Germany pays a lot into the EU, but it's waaaayyy outbalanced by the earnings from exports in the European free trade zone.

 First off I'm confused by the riot cops who seem to be on the protester's side but are incompetent and there's a molotov at their feet. Of course the point would be a bit clearer if you actually HAD a "side". It's people with strong beliefs in something vs...your group of people saying nothing but "I'm bigger/better/smart than you!!" . Which brings up the man labeled "Gavin" and his explicit threat of violence, "violence" being on the side of the "bad people", a tool used by the "bad people". So what's your point? "These people bad, THESE people good"? Seriously? Here you are complaining that something is "not an argument" while not, even in the slightest, putting forth any argument of your own with your technically competent but aesthetically bankrupt style. You can't just yell "I'M RIGHT!!" into the abyss without putting forth WHAT you're right about and HOW. All in all you have a comic wherein the LITERAL middle point is "autistic screeching is not an argument" while not actually putting forth an argument for yourself just "You're dumb, me smart, you're weak, me strong, you're bad, me good. Also you're not providing any proof of what you're saying."
