      Isn’t this “OK sign means white supremacy” thing made up by 4chan?

        Made up? Yes.

        Embraced by actual racists? Also yes.

        The symbol that actual white nationalists still do at their rallys? Origins don’t matter in terms of how it’s actively used by groups, Whinnie the Pooh is either a loveable bear or a critique of the Chinese goverment. Mac Tonight is an McDonald’s mascot or a racist. A swastika is either Nazis or good luck to Hindus.

        All sorts of groups latch on to cultural touchstones.

        I remember hearing that in middle school about a decade prior to 4chan (similar to ‘the Band 311 means 3 of the 11th letter, KKK’). So my head canon is that it was a school kid joke/meme that carried over to 4chan.
