I do. My pinky is dumb and doesnt fold correctly so I cant flash my three middle fingers for 3. I have to do pinky/ring/middle
Can you do thumb, index and middle?
He’s kid of being douchey, but the white power thing is clearly when you make the “OK” gesture and not this weird number three thing he’s doing.
I can. Feels weird though. Not sure I’ve seen somebody do three like that
I feel like the the prior 1 and 2, give him all the plausible deniability he needs. Also he’s doing it wrong, like pvn says.
Have ya’ll NOT seen Inglorius Basterds? Also everyone in my family apparently shows different fingers for “three”. I’d be slightly more suspicious if he hadn’t done the one and two as well.

I felt there was a good IB reference to be made, but I was too lazy to do it right.
I knew somebody who has on the show and is part of a network of former competitors going off on this exact thing.
In China, people count to 10 using one hand and the 3 looks like the pepe white power symbol.
Just a friendly note if you ever see mainland Chinese people counting using their hands. They’re not into white power.
Someone is going to have the show the work on his past. Gonna have to be pretty good evidence. Looks like a 3 to me.
Ken Jennings said that he once drew a scrotum around his name and was forced to erase it.
This is all kinda silly imo. If I was a white nationalist who wanted to troll humanity, I’d just start co-opting everyday hand signals as racist dogwhistles. Start with thumbs up and peace symbols before moving onto pointing upwards and pinky swears.
After that, smiles and nodding. Eventually, the left will be frozen in place for fear of accidentally making a racist sign thus being unable to vote. Bam! Autocracy created!
According to that article, if anybody asks what my favorite Fleetwood Mac song is, I have to stand silently and hope that the asker can interpret what it means.
The left should go on the offensive and co-opt common hand signals and associate them with antifa or BLM instead of complaining about bullshit like this.

That’s literally what 4chan did, they took a common hand gesture and managed to convince a bunch of idiots it’s a white supremacist signal. It’s the most successful 4chan troll in history. They politicized the number three.
Instead of walking on eggshells, how about you and everybody who cares starts co-opting common hand signals for leftist movements in response?
Such as? Leftists simply dont have the troll army that exists in the far right. Co-opting requires a movement to spread. We dont have the infrastructure for that right now
memes is infrastructure

Sure you do. Millions of people identify with antifa and BLM movements. Next time there’s a black man being shot, every protestor should hold their thumbs up in the air. Take pictures with their thumbs up while wearing BLM T-shirts or Abolish the police slogans.
You’ll get right-wingers cutting their thumbs off just like they set shoes on fire from leftist companies or some shit like that.
I mean, the raised fist is already a symbol for that movement. You dont see a bunch of stumps poking out of right wingers jacket holes right now.
I was exaggerating with the last sentence there.
But yeah, a whole hand is a bit too much of a sacrifice there. They need them to shoot people.
Nah. All stuff like this tells me is that agreeing with someone politically doesn’t mean that they’re not an asshole. I mean how awesome does a person’s life have to be for their pet cause to be hand signals? It’s not much different from old people getting angry about people saying Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. It’s just a leftist version of the culture war.
I really don’t give a shit about the hand signals. Most people don’t even know that it’s a hand signal for that. I didn’t until one of my Facebook friends shared an article about it. Now that I do, I still don’t care. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna go around holding my hand that way. Just means I’m not gonna be angry if a person incidentally holds their hand with that symbol.
