From weird break dancing dance moves at the Olympics to weird hand gestures whilst smirking, Australians sure know how to create social media storms

    Nah, he’s just winning the game, racists angle the hand/fingers up and the palm facing out for that. I didn’t think it was a common thing until I started buzzing my head (because I don’t have hair worth having) and then these fuckers popped up everywhere with their little signals treating me like one of them because I happen to be bald. It was a jarring revelation.

    Coincidentally, that was around about the same time I learned how quickly racists fold when you start loudly calling them out at a crowded train station.

      Our it curiosity are you Aussie? I’ve heard of the game thing but never the nazi thing here in Australia. I’m also considering going bald and was already worried about the skin head association

        In the UK we have the circle game, or had in the 90s and 00s, the kids these days dont seem to know it.

        Ive heard of it being the symbol for white power because the circle makes the P and the fingers make the W, but the only times I’ve heard it were now and about 20 years ago on some schizo blog pointing out how Goerge Dubya did it one time.
