I don't know why , but there's absolutely nothing that leftists love more than freaking each other out about the spectre of insidious red-brown conspiracies. We love taking turns passing the flashlight around and putting it under our chins. Submitted for the approval of thr Midnight Society, the Tale of the Strasserite TWP Honkler MAGA Communists.

I dunno, it wasn't like, "scary", but if a bunch of nazis are doing the OK sign to signal at each other then it's a nazi sign, right?

obviously hyperventilating dorks don't understand context so they pointed at every ok sign with fear but it still was a pretty easy shorthand when combined with a pepe or whatever

What does it actually mean for something to be a “nazi sign”? It was (and is) a universal sign for “ok” that pepes intentionally tricked online libs into freaking out over. There isn’t even a way to describe it except for “the ‘OK’ sign.”

It was a meme the alt-right started doing to freak out libs as you say, but they got so fixated on it that it was just a fascist dogwhistle for like a year. Don't you guys remember how every single name in the alt-right had to get a photo of them conspicuously doing it and it on like every other pepe/groyper avatar back around 2017?

I truly do not care if some losers are using it to signal to each other. Symbols can have different meanings in different contexts. Being afraid of secret nazis using the ok symbol is dumb because they're not that good at being secretive lol

it means a sign that every white supremacist MAGA guy made for about a year to scare libs and say hello to other white supremacists with.

The Madison Cawthorn cousin-loving video was an ironic response to Hillary using that term for Republicans.

inside Rod's skull there is a howling storm of psychology that looks like a cartoon catfight. If you or I were ever exposed to that maelstrom for a second our minds would be scoured with a wave of withering psychic flame.

Between this and his thing about anti-miscegenation laws the other day, Rod's really been on a tear lately. Good time for a reading series check in.

So we're just counting down till Rod kills himself right? I don't know if it'll be for 'this world is too sinful and impure I must away' or if all the closeted poo poo is gonna come surging back or if he'll just get the vapors too hard when one of his 15 year old Bulgarian special friends tells him he spent a week in tears because the Smurfs have a nonbinary Smurf or something, but the only way this ends is with the phrase 'found hanging in his hotel room' right?

I borderline think Rod has to have a humiliation fetish or something. He could easily just write culture war poo poo without constantly going into embarrassing confessional mode about primitive root weiners or being one of the most divorced former Americans of all time, and he has to be aware of the reading series by now, so what drives him to do this? And why do people who don't hate him read and enjoy it?
