It doesn’t matter how it started, it matters what it actually stands for now. In the case of that hand gesture, it really has been used intentionally by actual white supremacists (though I would argue that the woman in this particular photo might just be playing “the circle game” or something equally innocuous)
- freitzkriesler2 3y agoNo, you're getting intentionally trolled and what's sad is you keep falling for it.

- mcphage 3y agoIt has been used intentionally by white supremacists—that is true. But it has also been used by lots of people for lots of things—that was the reasoning behind the original troll, before the nationalists started doing it for real. I don’t think it would be appropriate to interpret it as being used as a white nationalist symbol without further context.
