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 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
I have not heard of that association for a long time. Mostly it’s just a lmaooo gotem -type of thing.
But sure, do give the nazis more ammo by giving ownership of such symbols to them.
The wiki explains really well how it’s not a white power symbol. It requires fingers pointing up and even in that case it’s ambiguous.
We’re taking it back!
Nah, he’s just winning the game, racists angle the hand/dingers up for that. I didn’t think it was a common thing until I started buzzing my head (because I don’t have hair worth having) and then these fuckers popped up everywhere with their little signals treating me like one of them because I happen to be bald. It was a jarring revelation.
Coincidentally, that was around about the same time I learned how quickly racists fold when you start loudly calling them out at a crowded train station.
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)
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
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
Oh give it a break. He was just caught trying to flick a booger he picked from his nose. I have the same embarrassed look in my face when someone sees me trying to do the same.
Before I’d say that, I’d really want to see the footage, not just a picture of a very particular moment. Sort of like how when you watch the video of musk, it is absolutely clear what he is doing.

That was my first thought as well. Like hell some fucktards with delusions are going to take my okay symbol, my weird mask on the face symbol, and my punch game symbol!
