      Yeah, and the “OK” hand sign in other contexts does mean “OK.” Doesn’t stop cryptofascists from contexually applying it outside of those uses with vaguely plausible deniability.

          I admittedly read your comment the way I’d often hear it from Reddit. "Um, so drinking a gallon of milk while flashing an OK sign is now fascist dogwhistling to you? Are the fascists in the room with us right now? Do you need help? Who hurt you?" smuglord

            it just surprised me when I found out about it the first time, “WAIT THAT’S ACTUALLY THEIR CURRENCY?”

        I look forward to reading in the news a story about two white supremacist divers who get eaten by sharks. The investigators find the divers’ waterproof cameras and watch the footage:

        The divers are trapped in a submerged shipwreck after sharks appear. They look out for the sharks leaving but visibility is low. In the old captain’s cabin, there is too little room to turn around. The one taps the other’s arm and signals, ‘Look over my shoulder, are the sharks gone?’ The other signals, ‘White Power, fuck yeah!’ so the first unbars the door, swims out and gets et.*

        *Et is the simple past tense of eat. Remember this the next time you’re playing Scrabble.
