> White nationalists are trying to ruin the OK hand-sign for everybody else by posing for photos in large groups while making the OK hand-sign.

No they're not. People have been doing this for decades. They're not white nationalists.

It's a prank by 4/8chan users. Like 'rainbow parties' and 'thigh bridge' and any number of other things created to waste time. That you (and the NYT) believe it is falling into the trap and doing exactly what they want.

It's _like_ rainbow parties, except for the explicitly political bent that seems only to advance white nationalist motives/politics. Certainly, creation by 8chan users does not disprove white nationalism. If anything it makes it more believable. Have you seen the political discourse on 8chan lately? One of us has fallen into the trap but I'm not sure who.

Yep. 8chan is trash. There's undoubtedly some actual white nationalists there, there's also a massive amount of losers who need attention.

You and the NYT are taking what they say at face value, giving them exactly the attention they want, and rewarding their behavior ensuring there'll be more of it.
