The simple hand sign to tell someone “okay” is now also a hate symbol, with actual white nationalists using the symbol to “trigger” liberals. It all started when some trolls on 4chan thought it was funny to trick the media into thinking that the “okay” hand sign is a secret Nazi symbol. The trolling work until it was used by white nationalists. The Washington Post looks into the impact the hand sign as as a hate symbol, and how the Internet can change the meaning of simple things because online racists think it’s funny to radicalize these things.
