In Spanish, “café” if just that, coffee. But it was also used as “Camaradas Arriba Falange Española”. The Spanish flag is just the official flag… except when it has an Osborne bull in it or the dictatorship eagle.
You’d be surprised, I’ve been called a Nazi for saying that just maybe, the Asian with 88 in their username is not a secret white supremacist (especially considering Chinese consider 8 auspicious, more so multiples of it)
I don’t really use the 👌 gesture except from when I’m in China because they seem to recognise that one more than a thumbs up. As for 14 and 88, I was a 14 year old once but not quite 88. I don’t know what you’re getting at. I know the Chinese also use 88 as a representative of marriage… Along with 999 meaning something and I think I saw a 666 in China as well.
Are you accusing me of antisemitism because I’m saying that flying the Cross of St George which has been recognised as a banner of England for Centuries isn’t in fact racism?
You obviously did. “OK means White Power” was a practical joke established at 4chan (well, where else could it be?). Unsurprisingly, many people can’t tell the difference between troll jokes and reality these days.
But please continue spreading the joke.

I’m not sure if this is serious or not. Yes. It started as a joke. What’s your point? Its since been adopted as a dog whistle precisely so dumbasses like you will do the work of right-wingers for them
The people who can’t tell the difference are the ones who use it without intending it to be a joke. 4chan “jokes” leak into the real world now, without being jokes.
Both statements are correct.
It is the national flag of England. It’s also been co-optes by the right as a dog whistle
The ok sign is " just" a common hand sign
14 and 88 are just numbers
Shitheels turned this flag into a hate symbol.
Don’t blame normal people for not wanting to fly it now and assuming the worst if you do

I didn’t know that, thank you
Reminder that most of this is very local, and will vary greatly depending on which part of the world you’re in
Yeah, and if I saw a st George’s cross hanging in Thailand it would mean something different too
Was referring to the hand sign and numbers. But yeah, the flag would probably get you mistaken for the Red Cross
I was being a little rude. But like yeah man obviously context is going to be important

Then take it back.
This one? 👌 I see people use it all the time, especially Asians
I know, I passed primary school.
Thanks for proving my point? The whole point is so you can say shit like this
What point? I don’t know what you’re on about in regards to hand gestures and numbers. You made some pretty obvious statements.
The point is that you are either a useful idiot, or actively involved in spreading these dogwhistles
I don’t really use the 👌 gesture except from when I’m in China because they seem to recognise that one more than a thumbs up. As for 14 and 88, I was a 14 year old once but not quite 88.

I’m guessing the latter, but I suppose it is possible you actually are just really dumb
I also have no idea about the ok gesture thing. The 1488 is something to do with Nazis, I know that at least.
Edit: also, you’re a smug git.
Your on your alt bro
You argue like an antisemite. What’s that about?
Are you accusing me of antisemitism because I’m saying that flying the Cross of St George which has been recognised as a banner of England for Centuries isn’t in fact racism?
No I’m accusing of arguing in bad faith
What about the Hindu swastica that has been used for thousands of years, is that also not racist?
I know buddhists use it in a non racist manner, so no.
In any context?
That’s the thing with shit people.
You throw a million gallons of clean water into a sewer and you’ve got a sewer.
You throw 20 gallons of sewage into a swimming pool and you’ve got to drain and refill the pool.
Not necessarily. People use the internet for bad but it’s not a sewer. More good happens than bad.
Still playing ignorant?
Not a good look
You fell for a joke here, pal.
No I didn’t? It was a joke, until it was then adopted by the right as a dog whistle because it was a joke.
I think it might be you that’s not fully understanding
The entire point is to co-opt seemingly innocuous or common symbolism
You obviously did. “OK means White Power” was a practical joke established at 4chan (well, where else could it be?). Unsurprisingly, many people can’t tell the difference between troll jokes and reality these days.
But please continue spreading the joke.

You think pretty highly of yourself eh lol.
