Has anyone lese heard about the 4chan hoax designed to fool the left into thinking that the "OK" hand symbol is a white supremacist symbol??
Not only has the far left press fallen for the hoax, but several government employees have been disciplined for it. ::)
It seems to be a universal truth that morally self-righteous people are the easiest to fool because they are actively looking for things to be outraged about.

OK!

Yet I can't help but wonder who's the most upset about it.

::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
I'd imagine the government employees who were disciplined would be upset.
-
OK!

Wait, we have a cost guard?
I bet it is a major bureaucratic money sink.

It's interesting to see the ok symbol is considered highly offensive in some cultures. Didn't know that.
Wikipedia says: While the gesture is not positive in some countries, in certain parts of middle and southern Europe (although not in Spain or Portugal) the gesture is considered offensive. The connotation of zero or worthless is known in France and Belgium, while in some Mediterranean countries such as Turkey, Tunisia, and Greece, in the Middle East, as well as in parts of Brazil and Germany, and several South American countries, it may be interpreted as a vulgar expression: either an insult (you are an asshole), the slang for anus itself, or an offensive reference to homosexuality. In the Arab world, this sign represents the evil eye, and is used as a curse, sometimes in conjunction with verbal cursing.

The OK symbol with an index finger inserted is the universal sign language of love.

Try it with an ostrich and you'll be hurtin'.

Whoever got disciplined for this trolling shit should sue for that.
And even if it has been seen being used by white supremacists, well, it isn't like a white supremacist is going to devote every, single, waking, attosecond OF THEIR FUCKING EXISTENCE to white supremacist anything-ing!
White supremacists cook food, eat food, consume drink, shit, piss, sleep, and communicate other things when communicating, whether communicating with white supremacists or people who aren't white supremacists. So yes, at some point in time, the 'OK' hand sign will be used by some of them now and again. So will giving someone the middle finger, so will drinking beer. Does that mean everybody who has got pissed on lager and given someone the middle finger a white supremacist?
I bet yesterday there was a paedophile, a real dirty bastard who rapes little toddlers, who started the day not, regrettably, with having a railroad spike hammered through his wrists and ankles and genitalia to a pair of crossed planks before having his jawbone sawn through with a dremel tool and hismouth ripped off leaving all those nerves going to his teeth exposed, to be covered in chili pepper extract.
But unfortunately, instead, remained undetected, and who started his day's toddler-shagging with a cup of tea and a biscuit.
Does that mean I'm a filthy child fucker, because I ,like tea and biscuits too?

Is that the gateway behavior?

This stuff actually started before the 4chan hoax to some extent. I think it's the context in which it's being used now.
Personally I prefer the meaning given to it in American Sign language which is "asshole".
Sign language is fun.

They need to stop doing that. It spreads too much disinformation.

Yes, Jack already posted a link describing negative meanings in other cultures along with sign language.

That's the whole point.
Make your opponent look like a fool by feeding into their need to find witches to burn.

The result is further dumbing down of humanity. It depresses me. The msm falls for stuff like this all the time and their reader believe what they put out.

The dumbing down isn't caused by 4chan trolling, it just reveals it.
The dumbing down is far more complex but helicopter parenting and the way schools coddle children are the main culprits.

It pours gasoline on the fire. I used to angry laugh at people believing false headlines, now I’m just sad.

I want to pour actual gasoline on them. :evillaugh:
