Which one of these is a hate symbol?

Is it a the bowl haircut?

B number 12 or see the okay hand sign?

The answer is, of course, all of them.

Let's go through some more examples.

Hey, remember this guy?

I've actually never showed him properly on my channel, but mostly probably know it's Pepe the Frog.

Pepe the Frog was a booming name from 2015 to 2016.

Everyone loved this guy from what started and in just a pretty small comic book, was adopted by the Internet to become the biggest name of that time.

Celebrities were posting him, and what made Pepper so popular was that he could be made into anything.

And the fact that there were so many different versions of petty became a MIM in itself practically became too popular.

And versions of Pepe that should never have been made was created, which changed things a line.

But they were all of them deceived For another maid urging racist ideology known as the salt right Junior, for example, he put this image on his instagram account.

It's a name of Pepper, and for those of you who don't know pet is a white nationalist symbol, are essentially nihilist to do it for the law.

Basically, that means for the heck of it racist and Disa Matic and overall, just offensive means were spread across the Internet, and the future of Pepe looked bleak.

But there was some who resisted.

Some people fought back.

A movement called hashtag save Pepper was created by Met Fury, Pippa's creator, to try and bring Pepe back to something positive.

The Internet try to help even a D L try to help, but it was too late.

Pepper was declared dead by Matt Furie and in one of his comic strips, we see Pepper for the last time.

This, of course, hasn't stopped Pepe from being used by normal people or people with bad intentions.

But Matt did what he had to do to distance himself from what it had become.

It's a kind of side story how hate triumphs, But Matt is still trying to save Pepe.

If you want, you can check out a kick started link in the description.

Either way, people were added to move on, but from the ashes of Pepe came something far worse.

Okay, photo from the white house, causing controversy.

Today, the photo shows President Trump posing with White House interns at the president's request.

All the young men and women give his thumbs up signature.

But look at the intern in the back row.

He's making a hand gesture that's quite different than any of the others.

To sum, it appears to symbolize white power.

The white power signal is made with the right hand and outstretched fingers that make a W and P as in white power.

Hold on.

We're not seriously falling for this, are we?

The origin of the white power Okay hand sign was quickly traced back to fortune.

The idea was to create another hate symbol like Pepe, as a way to troll and to create political discourse.

Some people took the bait, obviously, but it was also at this time that the Circle game was again becoming popular online.

You looked out Oh, what you got this new thing called the Circle?

The basic gist of the game is ha ha made you look while making the okay sign underneath your waist.

People mock just how stupid the idea waas.

Some use it as an opportunity to provoke, but it was obvious.

It was another pep, eh?

And this time there was solid proof that it was a troll operation.

So people did the responsible thing this time and declared the okay sign wasn't a hate symbol.

We can verify tonight that the claim the okay sign is a hate symbol is false, but it's never really that easy.

Shortly after the unthinkable happened way, Theo.

Way doing OK.

Gesture is not okay.

Lizard was right to ban.

It's just doing regular.

And as I was looking at the camera, he started to put the Universal Rights Incident happened while former Cub Doug Glanville was on the air for NBC Sports Chicago.

Man seated behind him flashed an upside down Okay, gesture, which is said to be a symbol of white power.

Broadcast cuts, were rapping with stats, but the gesture was seen for several seconds.

If the Cubs actively working to track down that person who made that gesture.

Hello, it's me.

Tired of editing this video, I keep seeing the argument that, well, the smarts ago was taken by the Nazis, So symbols do change meaning like they used to mean the sun or whatever it came from Buddhism.

So yeah, even if the okay symbol may used to mean okay, these things change.

The validity of its changed meaning is pointed towards white supremacist now actually using it.

But of course, they're gonna use it.

Unlike other hate symbols, this was given to them.

Stop making it so easy for these people.

Like white supremacists.

Have a use.

The sign.

Why the hell wouldn't they?

The problem with these hate symbols is that there's people who like to demonize other people.

And there's people that like to troll and these two just playing to each other perfectly.

They both get exactly what they want from each other.

One gets a reaction, the other gets an outrage.

And then you have normal people in between who's not even playing this game that gets caught up in a minute.

I'm not saying that anyone that gets mad over someone using the sign is part of some outrage mob.

But there is a clear culture are on getting upset.

It's it's fulls.

Virtue rewarded with blanks were basically training ourselves to act like this.

And to be clear, I don't think spamming the okay, sign here.

You look.

Are you mad now like that's not helping me.

They're obviously if you look in the instances that I showed logically, the evidence that they're signaling wide power is so incredibly weak.

But he just doesn't matter.

They didn't try sitting like this.

It is actually comfortable.

Wait, What was her name again?

I forgot.

Fuck!

Apparently she's have Mexican, half Polish Jewish grandchild of a Holocaust survivor, but she was accused of flashing the white power hand symbol.

Circle Game has been using news media before.

It's just a way to see ha ha got you all.

Not everyone is aware that it's been co opted by a small group of people, and they and they shouldn't.

No one should know these things.

The guy flashing this sign during the blitz it footage stepped up, even though where there was no reason for him to do so and explained, Yeah, that was me.

I actually had no idea had any other meeting.

The most recent incident of this happening was the group custom at Warner Brothers.

I got fired because they discover in their home video that he made the okay hand sign, even though the child is doing it.

This as well.

Why the hell would someone symbol for white power in a private home video?

Who is a signaling to the parents by acting angry and upset over these things?

You're giving validity to the symbol.

It's supposed to be a dog whistle.

That's how this is defendant.

All we need to.

We need to know what these things, if it's a dog whistle, is a goddamn megaphone.

Everyone gets called out on it.

On the one hand, it control troll a response that they can deny.

But it also can signal their support for white supremacist ideas.

So the argument is that you can use it and then just say, No, I'm just Do you do in the okay sign?

So we need to know about this, that we can allow white supremacists to dog whistle to each other with congratulations.

You're doing that.

Why may?

By accusing people that aren't white supremacist of being white supremacist, you are helping white supremacists.

I think that's what annoys me so much about this whole thing.

It's really not about what what's the best outcome.

And I think when we don't care about the outcome, that's when we really destroy ourselves.

Here's what I need you to do.

Don't get upset about the hand sign.

And don't spam it like, Oh, I'm so epically trolling you Oh, God!

L know The thumb of one race.

Oh, God.

Profits!

Bye.
