Isn't that just the sign you make below your waist for that stupid shoulder-punching game that became a meme?

yeah buts its been co-opted by them to mean something else. If its a normal person its probably harmless, but if they're wearing a suit and have a poo poo eating grin they're alt right fuckers

it allows them to take pictures with politicians while throwing up their hand sign so they can pass it around alt right media circles without the politician needing to come out and say "gas the jews"

Remember when that guy who worked for Hitler had to secretly signal other Nazis because he didn’t want people to know he’s a Nazi?

I’m not saying she isn’t giving a shout out to her fellow white supremacists. I’m saying who really gives a poo poo in 2018? I’d rather Nazis and racists be hush hush and wink wink nudge nudge than, oh I don’t know, the President of the United States.

cole you have some awfully wrong opinions if you don't care that nazis are hanging around politicians while throwing up alt right gang signs

No, you see, just several parts of their supply chain that they say isn't directly them. And also they've issued a statement condemning the practices! But please don't force them to report on the slaves and child workers in their supply chain. Then they might have to raise prices on you.

you gotta sell yourself to a holding company then that holding company has a subsidiary that runs the slaves, that way TECHNICALLY nestle doesn't own the slaves

Also yesterday my business management professor talked about how the US is losing purchasing power due to the gutting of the middle class, then said that was OK because we produce x amount of SELF MADE MILLIONAIRES every year so you can still make it in america if you work hard

Spicy hot take:


Cops should be disarmed. Fully and completely.


And if this results in more dead cops that's a net positive for society.

euro countries will have armed cops as back up basically but the person interacting with the public won't have a gun.

More on my point about the two-fold benefits of the hand sign to actual Nazis. Take this photo from the article n4i posted:


If you imagine a racist cop who intends to terrorize minorities, you picture these guys in your imagination.

If you imagine fat-neck man baby rednecks who slid into law enforcement as a natural continuation of being a defensive lineman on their high school football team- the kind of guys who think it would be hilarious to throw down the "punch you" sign in a photo for the local paper- you also picture these guys in your imagination.

Yes, they can be both of those things. But jumping to the first conclusion is an example of achieving the desired effect of choosing benign symbology and amping up the martyr complex of poor dumb middle America.


But the hand sign isn't flashy or absurd? Its very low-key- probably intentionally so as I said above. Of course the "troll" groups are racists/out-right Nazis. Their leadership admits as much- there was a journalist (maybe VICE?) who accompanied them on the marches last summer and their older leaders were proud of adapting with the times and pushing their "memes" out to the world.

do you not know what context clues are? A bunch of cops wearing cammies that are masked up and throwing the OK sign en masse after making an arrest makes it pretty clear what their intention is.

Same thing when some dude with a poo poo eating grin is throwing it up while next to a politician.

Some idiot my brother graduated with crashed his truck on a night out with his girlfriend. I don't recall whether or not they proved he was driving drunk underage or not. The cartilage in her nose gets really hosed up in the crash. So he calls his dad and they clean her up and dump her in her bed at home like nothing happened. Her nose was basically hanging off her face so their weak little cover up job doesn't work out and her parents sue them. Don't know what happened after that except the dad hired this scumbag attorney who is friends with my grandma, and he was acting like their actions probably seemed innocent and proper at the time.

I don't understand how people don't get more violent. If some fucks did this to my daughter I'd beat all the teeth out of trheir skull.
