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 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.
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
What does this even mean?
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?
Context matters for anything.
:0 you don't say
