From weird break dancing dance moves at the Olympics to weird hand gestures whilst smirking, Australians sure know how to create social media storms
He gets to punch everyone in the arm
Thems the rules… but how will it work with him being upside down and all
Our arms end up where your balls are, and vice-versa. It makes for rather awkward boxing matches between the hemispheres.
He just won the whole game. Nobody will ever beat that. How many billions of people did he get?
That weird hand gesture is the white power symbol
No, bro, this is a variant of the game. The symbol you’re looking for is held upward. The white power symbol needs context that the douche using it is a white supremacist. Don’t call out a potential dogwhistle unless you have evidence that it is the dogwhistle. Otherwise, you’re barking at nothing (something the neo-nazi fucks want you to do, so they can label you crazy)
I have not heard of that association for a long time. Mostly it’s just a lmaooo gotem -type of thing. For proof, read the other comments here.
But sure, do give the nazis more ammo by giving ownership of such symbols to them.
Edit: I recommend you read the parts about “the circle” game and White power symbol on this Wikipedia article.
We’re taking it back!
Even if you interpret it that way it’s the wrong way up then. Your fingers have to point up to be a white power symbol
That’s just the ok-sign.
Edit: Ok sure it can be used and interpreted as a white power thing, but I would prefer for that not to be the case. The alt-right co-opting of the sign is one of the most stupid things in recent memory.
I know it is. Some people choose to interpret it as a WP symbol. But it’s still upside down in this case so it’s clearly not one as well as this particular style being widely used as a meme a while back anyway.
That’s palm outward, this is inward

He’s doing it like that.
The association of the gesture with white supremacy derived from the assertion that the three upheld fingers resemble a W and the circle made with the thumb and forefinger resemble the head of a P, together standing for “White Power”. While some members of the alt-right started using the symbol after the launch of the 4chan campaign, it initially remained ambiguous whether or not it was being used to communicate genuine adherence to white supremacy, or with deliberately ironic motives.
So, i should start using the ok symbol everywhere, especially with de-racists, because I will confuse them, confound them and otherwise thoroughly demoralise them with their safety symbols.
Bonus that of they ever accuse you of being racist for doing it, you can prove them wrong by punching them.
Eh, I disagree. Either the w or the p are going to be upside down.
The nazis stole the “ok” symbol a few years ago.We can pretend it doesn’t mean it if you want
Pepe was also stolen back in 2016 or so, but that one got reclaimed by people “pretending” that it wasn’t a symbol of hate. The ok-sign shouldn’t even need to be reclaimed since it has such strong previous connotations. But if you do think that it is, and that every cheff doing the chefs kiss or a scuba diver saying “I’m ok” with their hand is actually doing a nazi hate symbol, then it too should be reclaimed.
Yeah, I heard about this and completely ignored it. Until someone pulls me aside and tells me I’m flashing a hate symbol, I’m giving the okay. And even then, I’d only change my behavior for that one person. No way am I changing a 25±year habit for some fascist culturally appropriating fucks.
