Can we please spread a rumor that nothing annoys leftists more than self-immolation?
Yeah, I hate it when people embezzle money and post about it on social media in support of trump’s ciminal cases.
I don’t get it. What’s the joke?
He is owning the libs by drinking milk. Don’t you know how leftists are trying to get milk banned? As a leftist this post made me so angry that spontaneously combusted and now I am dead/s
OK, I guess?
Now do ‘not looking you in the eye’…
Autism I guess…
Idk, it’s a little bit confusing cuz he’s still not really looking at the camera “in the eyes”
Well conservatives have developed a desire for raw milk. They are passing laws to make it legal to sell raw milk in different counties. I found out because someone in my family is all about raw milk now. Even though they told me they were “deadly afraid” of the flax milk I was drinking. Idk man, I’m just trying to remove sugar from my diet.
How is flax milk? I’m trying to find an alternative to dairy but almond, oat, and soy haven’t done it for me.
I wouldn’t say it’s great. There is a mouth feel you need to get used to, if you drink it straight. I put it in my smoothies with fruits and veggies and can’t tell the difference though.
It’s good for oatmeal, fine for tea, wouldn’t recommend drinking straight. Have you tried pea milk? Which soy milks have you tried? They can vary a lot in flavor across brands
when looking for alternatives, are you looking for something that’s the exact same flavor and texture as milk from a cow? If so I’d recommend accepting that you won’t find something identical like that. Instead, approach the plant milks on their own terms and find what you like as if it was your first time drinking any kind of milk.
Honestly I’m not conservative in any sense, but I think raw milk is better for you and tastes better. I’ve been drinking it since I was in high school and I’m much older now.
We boil the milk, use the fat to make butter and ghee, and use it to make yogurt as well.
I’ve drank the milk raw enough times and never had a problem as well though usually we do boil it before.
Less chemicals, preservatives, pasteurization in general leads to a healthier gut
We boil the milk
That’s what pasteurization is
I must be getting old.
I honestly don’t understand half these shitty memes.
These people need to touch grass.
Him
Hehehehe what’s not funny, hahahahah
It’s a right wingie making the le ebig trigger joke
Hahahahohohoheeeheeeheee, such a funni shitpost, can’t stop won’t stop laughing jajajajjaja
No eye contact? Milk? Asian food? Are these things conservatives think people get upset about? Does this guy just have spicy tism? What is happening?
Right wingers think lactose intolerance is a leftist conspiracy
But the Asian food? I’m guessing something something cultural appropriation?
MSG maybe?
The Knicks?
bruh, how is my shit turning to liquid if i have more than half a glass of milk a conspiracy??
George Soros put spiders in your butt
It’s always the jewish butt spiders with those guys…
If you were more racist these things wouldn’t happen to you. Probably.
Wow am I sick of ragebait and ‘haha, look wut person said on the social media, so cringers r ROFL!!!’ posts
make shitposts actually shitposts again pls
Fish + milK? Feel bad for his toilet.
I feel bad for his stomach, you know those mfers are swimming in that milk
Shitting your pants to own the libs
What’s wrong with the OK sign?
A bunch of nazi’s used it as a dog whistle and it got added to a database of hate symbols.
Why exactly are we giving Nazis the power to poison language, emojis, what have you for the rest of us again?
I think we should do the opposite. As soon as some symbol becomes a dog whistle, we should all rush to use it for it’s original meaning as much as possible, thus preventing the dog from hearing the whistle where it’s supposed to be used as such.
By that point, it’s already been tainted and it’s too hard to tell reality from satire from ignorance.
Nazis just love appropriating and poisoning symbols, and it all started with the swastika: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika
In any normal circles, nazis are so irrelevant that you dont need to worry about ok signs or whatnot
First day on the Internet?
No. This was in the context of the original comment. If somebody has no idea what’s wrong with the ok sign, they probably don’t need to worry about it. This is all terminally online insanity.
Well the purpose of the hate list like this isn’t “what symbols not to use” so much as, if a guy uses this and there’s context to suggest it’s a dogwhistle, this is what it means.
As a concrete example, If someone turns to a camera makes the ok gesture then punches a black guy that can be used as evidence in conjunction with a database like this to add a hate crime charge onto the assault charge.
Exactly this. Gasden Flag, same vibes, same weird arguments from people trying to take it back. Go ahead and try, I wish you well, but you’re gonna look like a racist flying it.
Because when someone uses a symbol while they do something shitty, they are associating that symbol with their shitty behaviors. Human brains are wired to identify paterns and associations for threat identification. That’s why cops all dress differently than EMT’s.
If your ex-girlfriend left you in a nasty break up, you might avoid her favorite restaurant, cry when you hear her favorite songs, or even get upset just seeing a similar car to the one she drove. You cant drown out a dog whistel, all you can do is point it out.
Right but if Nazis just started using the LGBTQ+ flag, that wouldn’t be recognized.
They tried that in Reddit back in 2019, and it failed. Frenworld tried taking rainbow flags to mean “A seperate place for every race” ahortly before they got banned.
Once a symbol has stuck, you cant shift it no matter how hard you try.
It was a hypothetical. Pick anything you want.
And anyways you proved my point, the “society” pushed back, ad discarded it, rather than allow it to be poisoned.
No, symbols are just hard to change. Once they have a meaning associated to them, you can’t take the meaning away. A pride flag is symbol, so ot means something. An ok hand gesture doesn’t have much beyond “ok” to it, so it can quickly be taken over and poisoned.
A drop of poison in a glass will kill you, but a drop in an lake won’t harm anyone.
Tbf the fact that it failed kinda proves his point, and the fact that the ok symbol is “now a nazi dogwhistle” (or, like, that whole “swastika” thing) disproves your second point.
There was already a large, active movement that had adopted the symbol. None such movement existed for the “OK” hand gesture.
Why exactly are we giving Nazis the power to poison language, emojis, what have you for the rest of us again?
Probably the same reason that the swastika is a hate symbol instead of a Hindu symbol.
I recently found out how they appropriated the hooked cross symbol. Now I’m streaming angry. I just finished sewing one onto the back of my Jean jacket, too.
Ah. The Pepe Frog Phenomenon.
4 chan started a prank saying that the ok sign was actually spelling out “WP” meaning “white power”.
The ADL and a bunch of news agencies bought it hook, line, and sinker. Pretty quickly scuba divers, anyone who has been a teenage boy in the past few decades, and really just anyone with a pulse and a brain cell pointed out how ridiculous it would be to believe that.
Some of the groups that got tricked (the ADL most notably) doubled down instead of admitting that they got got. They found like one fringe neo-nazi group that started doing it (probably after seeing it on 4 chan) and insisted “SeE? RaCiSt Dog whistle!”.
There’s nothing wrong with the “OK” sign. It’s perfectly innocent.
It started as a prank, but now fascists unironically use the ok sign.
It’s a dog whistle. They use something innocent to signal to others in their ingroup, and call people stupid when they call them out on it.
That’s a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy. They only use it because CNN and the ADL wouldn’t backtrack, thus giving their claims validity after the fact.
We, the public, can stop that bullshit in it’s tracks by rejecting the whole premise and insisting on the actual, innocent meaning of the gesture.
That’s like complaining that 12 year-olds drive language evolution. Yeah its obviously stupid to anyone who follows the process, but it’s still the process.
Enough is enough. Letting neo Nazis dictate how we behave gives them power. I, for one, refuse to do that.
I used to believe the “shitpost that got out of hand” excuse too. Let me tell you about something I witnessed a few weeks after that story first blew up:
I was watching an Overwatch esports stream because I still played back then and Blizzard was bribing us players to inflate viewer counts. It was a home game for the Dallas Fuel, so the match was taking place in Texas. Unsurprisingly, this meant the vast majority of the in-person audience was young white gamerbros with a conservative aesthetic.
It also happened to take place on International Women’s Day, so between rounds they would have one of the women who worked on Overwatch give a short speech or interview. These were generally focused on their experiences as a woman (and often racial minority), the value of diversity and tolerance, etc. I remember one of the people they brought in to speak was Anjali Bhimani, an American of Indian descent who voiced the character Symmetra.
Every single time they announced one of these presentations, a large number of audience members (Remember: white gamerbros in Dallas, Texas) would immediately raise one arm, make the OK sign with their hand, and wave it around rapidly while frowning. I had never seen anything like it, and given the context it was obvious what they were doing it for.
Blizzard banned use of the gesture during esports matches a few days later. The subreddit was predictably full of posts like yours, downplaying what had happened and ridiculing the ban as an overreaction to a stupid prank. Maybe it really was just a prank at the start, and I don’t know if they’re still doing it now, but there was definitely a time when fascists were using the OK sign as a dogwhistle and relying on the “media fell for a 4chan prank” story for plausible deniability.
So the “white gamer bros in Dallas, Texas” had no overlap with 4 chan users who realized they were in front of cameras and could do some trolling IRL?
I had heard that “white gamer bros” were few and far between on 4 chan, and certainly weren’t the sort to start or support any of the trolling the site was notorious for. /S
So a white supremacists website created a dog whistle, and now those same white supremacists use it regularly? That doesn’t sound perfectly innocent, especially not when PJW is the one flashing it and making sure we all know there’s a far-right connotation.
So we’re just going to let one fringe group ruin a decades old gesture? We’re going to give crackpots that kind of power?
Fuck that.
The power they have comes in the form of folks like you defending the dog whistle as innocent while they use it as a virtue signal for hate.
Yes, my insistence on ignoring the fringe racist group really gives them a lot of attention. /S
You think that White Supremacy is a fringe movement that can be defeated through inaction?
Read a fucking book one day…
This might give some info.
Oren Segal, director of the ADL’s Center on Extremism, told NPR that for years on fringe online message boards such as 4chan and 8chan, the “OK” sign has been deployed in memes and other images promoting hate. Given the number of white supremacists who have adopted it, he said it can now carry a nefarious message.
All these comments like “wtf fish and milk?” make me think y’all don’t know about the goodness that is New England clam chowder.
mollusks and milk
Cullen Skink too
Bro why you drinking milk and eating Asian food at same time?
We are super triggered now.
Next, he’s going to wear diapers and shit himself. We’ll be so owned.
Big brain leftist: I am going to repost one of Paul Joseph Watson posts
You need to start charging him rent.
??
“Not looking you in the eye”? What’s that about?
Autism???
My mind is playing tricks on me, I keep seeing and unseeing a hair strand in his fingers.
I wanna cave this guy’s face in. Not because of the milk, sushi, okay sign or lack of eye contact. He just seems like an arsehole and has a super punchable face.
