“Secret” is tongue in cheek.
We know people flash the white power hand sign when having their picture taken, as if it isn’t a racist dog whistle.
The Bloods have a hand sign. I’m impressed that one can spell the entire word with one’s hands.
Jeep drivers have a cutesy hand wave that signals a common identity with other Jeep drivers.
AFAIK there’s no hand sign that espouses the Eat The Rich sentiment. There’s an opportunity to create something new where one doesn’t yet exist.
If “Eat the Rich” produced a secret hand gesture, what would/should it look like?
I understand the argument of “This doesn’t help; instead write to your congressman or volunteer to burp newborns.” I get that, but this is independent of that.
This truly belongs in AskLemmy but their (justified) temporary ban on US politics seems to discourage this question.
That white power sign - isn’t that the same “i can make you look at this circle” sign from our youth?
That and the signal that everything is okay when diving
No because that has to be done below the waist, which also changes the orientation.
That’s what they do…
They grab something that exists, tell each other its their sign, and then when called out try to use plausible deniability.
Is that the same as “the game” where it was something like you lose when you remember about it?
You just lost the game
Damnit!
The person saying this has also lost the game, so the joy comes from dragging someone innocent down with you.
