what if there was a photo of you with powered sugar on your face and I said "just a guy with cocaine all over his face"
is it my opinion that its cocaine so its not defamation?
the OK sign does nto mean white power, that is a fact
it can mean both things, to different people
like those places in the world where shaking your head means yes
or a peace sign is an insult
and white powder on your face can also be cocaine
prove its not
yes
Confederate flag is a good example of something meaning different things to different people.
actually its a lot more likely to be cocain in my case
the idea in my opinion to solve this is rather straightforward and something we all instinctivly do anyway
people that signal that the ok sign is not ok (lmao) are not signaling that there is a hidden meaning to the ok sign, but that they are shitlibs
and as a result it wont stick, because it doesnt adhere to the subconcsious cultural meaning already established by most people
so let them waste their energy pushing something this silly, they wont win against all of western civilization for who this is already well imprinted
never interupt your enemy when they'th make a mistake
at this point you could argue that the ok sign means white power - just because the meme is so well known that there might be people using it that way... 😉
hmm i dono
from what i gather if they use it that way, its ironicly
as in, they are not signalling that they are white supremacists, but that the shitlibs are tards
yes, man and property are the 2 genders
thats not as "popular" a meme though
and to be clear: i'm not arguing that it means white power, but i can see situations where the argument is valid
tbh i think for the vast majority of people they eighter understand it means OK, or they understand that shitlibs are tards and think it means white power when it doesnt
also: how i can phrase something as unclear as possible while starting with "to be clear" 😄
i find it very hard to believe someone actually thinks it means white power
the thing is... you can use it that way because people know that it means ok... i should stop trying to explain the way my thinking works 😄
✌🏻👌🏻
Whenever some says "lets unpack the issue" what they mean is lets take the level of discussion higher. Instead of talking about the issue theyll talk about policy as a whole. Policy as a whole gives way to philosophy as a whole.
Just another issue with subjectivism
Hence why its kinda silly to punish someone. Since while someone may see it as offensive, someone else will see it as inspirational.
Ok will mean OK to alot of people.
So whats the argument really?
If someone finds it offensive, then its offensive?
so lets say a scuba diver does the OK sign
emma roller says "just an underwater man flashing white power"
shes legally allowed to
it is not defamation
not libel
Surly it wouldn't be seen as such coz if you tried to take it to court they'd laugh you out. No normy is going to fall for this shit.
