  Could we convince the Nazis to eat the tide pods?

    Just get 4chan to convince the imbeciles that it’s a white supremacist symbol like they did with the okay sign.

      If a bunch of “ironic” racists start using a symbol as a “joke” and one of them flashes it after murdering 50 people because of their religion, then it’s officially a hate symbol.

        Only if you want it to. For 99.99% of the population the okay sign is still the okay sign.

        It’s a Poe’s Law kind of situation. Some people were saying dumb things about the OK sign because they were pretending to be idiots. Actual idiots see it and start doing it because they’re actual white supremacists doing a sign they heard about from the internet to indicate their affiliation.

      You got that turned around. 4chan convinced politicians/pundits the ok symbol was white supremacist. Honestly, it worked, but they should have picked the shocker. Would have actually been funny.

        4chan convinced politicians/pundits the ok symbol was white supremacist.

        Exactly, the imbeciles. Which is even more funny considering the original intention was to convince liberals and other lefties that the ok symbol was racist just for the hell of it, but it backfired and only braindead nazis and fascists ended up believing it.

      4Chan is an early adopter of memes. Unpopular memes tend to go through 4Chan and fizzle. Popular ones go through 4chan and the get big. I don’t know the causal relationship.

      The 👌 sign is still a white power movement sign, even if its used by youths and politicians trying to get down with the core.

      I’d hazard a guess right wing superiority groups are epidemic with imposter syndrome, with Grand Wizards and Three-Percenter lieutenants doubting their validity more than eggs and questioning gays. Heck, Donald Trump, former President of the United States is like the god emperor of imposter syndrome.
