Musk is definitely unhinged on his ADL attacks, but the ADL has some... strange takes.
They have whole articles on how the Bowl Cut and the OK symbol are hate symbols. For the OK symbol they have nested "disclaimers" (why these are not prominent right from the get-go is beyond me, however). And the bowl cut page doesn't even hold any disclaimers at all - as if the 5 year old whose Mom doesn't know how to give a haircut is really very dangerous?

- davidw 3y agoThe okay thing is pretty real. I worked for a company that changed its logo so as to avoid the one they had, that was an 'okay' gesture. They were big enough that that decision cost them time and money - they didn't make it lightly. With bowl cuts, they're not talking about 5 year olds and their moms, obviously, but grown-ass men who know better. All people are susceptible to 'patternicity' - seeing a pattern where there is none, and it's possible they blow a few things. But that kind of pales with him singling out the Jewish group for attention and blame.
- ahahahahah 3y agoDid you read that bowl cuts article? Or just spreading more alt right nonsense without any thought of your own? You are completely misrepresenting what that article about bowl cuts is about.
- ar_lan 3y agoDo you genuinely consider Democrats (and a social democrat at that) to be alt-right? Yes, I read the article. It’s quite short, and includes no such disclaimers like the “OK” page makes (I’d argue poorly, but it still does).
