Isn't sad that I called out the exact thing happening that someone was going to try to deflect.

First of gestures, just like words, change over time. It's been a white power sign since 4chan known nazi's adopted it in 2018. And with white supremacist groups using it as a tell. Since saying "I'm a white supremacist" in the middle of public isn't exactly a good idea.

Two. "he was set up/he didn't know"
Yeah no, that's also bullshit. Not only did he hear from white supremcist groups post brief jail time. But they were part the reason he was bailed out.

Three."But their leader is not white"
And? No seriously And?
Racism doesn't care if your whatever color. Because racism itself is a social construct. People can and have been racist to their own group, as racism itself is not a logical thing. It's purely dogma with no logic behind it. And further more, Gavin McInnes was the founder and original leader. If a group starts off bad, it will often remain bad.

Oh and as a fyi.
The proudboys are being charged with seditious conspiracy. Now where have I heard that before.

Again, is it insane to believe and suspect that if you hang out with a specific group of people, talk like a specific group of people, act like a specific group of people, that you are very likely apart of that specific group.
Dude I don't give a shit if 4chan believes it's a white supremacist group. IT'S THE FUCKING "OK" SIGN. If I decide now that shaking hands with someone is a way to greet nazis it doesn't matter at all lmaooooo

If nazis start doing a gesture, do you think there is value in recognizing that nazis do it? IE, do you think it's unreasonable to say that

THIS image is a "nazi symbol?" After all, he's just raising his hand!

I love how he went for the Nazi look on his speech with the red backdrop giving message that the dems are dictators
As dalekman9999 said, Independence Hall was lit up in red, white and blue.

It's incredibly hilarious that the right wing is shitting itself over the color red. Did they forget what the official color of the GOP and Trump was?

Also keep in mind that long before "Dark Brandon" became a thing, Trumpists had their red-drenched "Dark MAGA" movement. And unlike Dark Brandon (which is nothing more than a reaction meme mocking Dark MAGA), Trumpists were actually serious about Dark MAGA...

That gesture started and ended with the nazis. The "ok" sign has existed for decades, if not centuries, and has actively been used for that. And that's Adolf Hitler, the cover child of the movement. How many members do the proud boys have? Like 20? I can make a neo nazi group and say that shaking hands = nazi symbol. Are you going to stop shaking hands?

I wouldn't necessarily say it started with the Nazis. It originated in ancient Rome. It was used by the Nazis and therefore stigmatized, so yes, for most cases it was ended by them. Just a little history.
This was actually why the Nazis idolized Roman culture so much, because they arbitrarily associated it with power, unity, and greatness.

Like most far right countries however Nazi Germany didn't even last 100 years LMAO

It's not red that people care about, it is how certain pictures of Biden looked. At the end of the day, it is just something to laugh about. No reasonable person would seriously compare Biden to Hitler solely based on a funny picture.

The problem is that they aren't just "presenting" themselves that way, it's the reality of the way things are now. Trump has already stated outright that if he ever gains power again, he will purge the entire government and judiciary of everybody who isn't completely loyal to him. The two-party system has always been shit, but it's ten times worse now that one of them has gone way the fuck off the deep end.

Literally all we can do is keep electing Dems while keeping their worst neolib instincts in check with labor and unionization movements. At least until the fat orange sack of shit kicks the bucket and the Republican party hopefully comes to their senses in part or in whole.

You do realize "the hacker known as 4chan" is a bunch of trolls attempting to get people to believe the most outlandish things, don't you? They have pushed the most retarded ideas for years and MSM and groups watching it have lapped it up for years.

Trump was called literally Hitler for about 5.5 years. While it was already common to compare people you didn't like to Nazis, the precedent changed with Trump so it's just being thrown back into Biden's face and seems to drive people mad.

Then why were white nationalist shooters doing it?
