Isn’t this “OK sign means white supremacy” thing made up by 4chan?
Made up? Yes.

The symbol that actual white nationalists still do at their rallys? Origins don’t matter in terms of how it’s actively used by groups, Whinnie the Pooh is either a loveable bear or a critique of the Chinese goverment. Mac Tonight is an McDonald’s mascot or a racist. A swastika is either Nazis or good luck to Hindus.
