@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA THREAD: WHITE SUPREMACY | 4CHAN | O-KKK SIGN| THE CIRCLE GAME | TROLLING | NEO NAZI | ALT-RIGHT (AKA why the 1/2 truths of willfully ignorant "Johnnys" amount to deliberately calculated racist lies).
The time when folks can innocuously use t/“OK” sign has long past 1/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA s it has been usurped via forces, both witting & unwitting; & which together conspired to re-define/re-language t/“OK” sign via “operation O-KKK” (cite: 4Chan)  into b/an outright symbol of WS/WN & a Trojan vessel designed to smuggle WS/WN signaling in plain sight 2/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA into t/discourse while retaining plausible deniability via “t/circle game” 

That young adult White men prior to or in t/military have no idea about t/now racist nature of t/OK ( now O-KKK) sign is a false notion because 1) they grew up in t/world, not cloistered from it, 3/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA 2) while older adults don’t spent as much time online, young people practically live minute to minute streaming online which is where WS/WN now recruit across ALL PLATFORMS via seemingly innocuous daily conversations (at first), chats, gaming and a multitude of additional 4/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA sites where young White folks gather as these are their recruiting grounds and 3) the notion that the military is particularly insulated form this is also false ass far back as t/FBI’s 2008 report which found that WS/WN leaders were making a concerted effort to 5/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA recruit active-duty service members & recent combat vets. 4) The twin exposures re: heavy WS/WN recruiting of enlisted personnel coupled with t/knowledge young White adults gain from constantly interacting via gaming & socializing online (i.e., that they truck ito service 6/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA w/them) leaves these same young adults widely exposed to and educated about things most adults would not even think to contemplate which equally provides the cover of plausible deniability for these same young White men when “covertly flashing” what is now very well 7/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA recognized as a WS signal whether playing “the circle game” or not. Cumulatively, the above reduces the logical notion any reasoning adult person would have to think these same young adults did not know exactly what they were doing. I leave you with some information and 8/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA quotes from 4Chan as they are quite telling relative to how deliberately subversive this DARVO propaganda strategy is. 

In 2017, anonymous users of 4Chan, began “Operation O-KKK,” to see if they could trick t/wider world & especially, liberals & MSM into believing 10/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA that t/OK hand gesture was actually a white power symbol stating “We must flood Twitter & other social media websites w/spam, claiming t/OK hand signal is actually a symbol of WS/WN,” (as t/letters O & K, were subverted to stand for W & P meaning “white power”: 4Chan) 11/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA Users suggested via posts everyone create multiple fake social media accounts “w/basic white girl names” to propagate t/notion as widely as possible. What started as a 4Chan hoax succeeded so well that IT CEASED TO BE hoax: as Neo-Nazis, t/KKK &other WS/WN groups began 12/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA using t/gesture in public to signal their presence to each other & spot potential sympathisers & recruits. 

T/new interpretation went viral and was swiftly appropriated weaponized & adapted by WS/WN and alt-right internet trolls and spread publicly by high-profile Alt Reich 13/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA figures who now flashed it conspicuously in public, including M Yiannopoulos, R Spencer, R Stone, t/Proud Boys and several other widely publicized incidents. The gesture migrated well beyond ironic trolling and became a “sincere expression of white supremacy”, according 14/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA to the Anti-Defamation League. And as widely publicized t/ international WS/WN terrorist Brenton Tarrant (who killed via WS/WN mass shooting, 50 people in 2 mosques in NZ) flashed w/a smug smile to reporters, t/by now well-known OK WS/WN hand sign for “White Power” 15/x
@Jaegermiester29 @RickMuto @PortiaMcGonagal @WestPoint_USMA during his March 2019 court hearing.
AGAIN: While many a "johnny" chooses willful ignorance and prefers half truths, essentially amounting to a lie, the time when the OK sign was just OK, benign or a hoax HAS LONG PASSED.
