Blumpf is done any day now.

Actually you are all alone in that category of conspiracy theorists, its kind of a permanent status at this point for you.

Looks like the next conspiracy is right of the printer.

How long until Don Jr is hung for treason again? I can’t keep track of all the happenings.

As an exercise, if given the choice, does anyone think democrats would admit they’re running a hoax/they got nothing -or- take the country into civil war?

I mean if only there was some historical precedent....

Sidenote - did Nausi just lowkey support the south in the civil war.

Don't put too much stock into it, Slore thinks the Confederacy is coming back and winning this time. Just enjoy the civil war conspiracy theory.

cubs fan banned for white power symbol

Cubs fans are done now!

I can't believe we've really gotten to this point over a game. I guess I should tell my black and hispanic co-workers since they do it all the time as well....or maybe I shouldn't.

One less white supremacist at the ballpark, unfortunately, there is still plenty of racism to be found at all sporting events.

Quote:
his hand, which appeared in a frame behind analyst Doug Glanville, was positioned in the “OK" hand gesture

That new meaning stems from a hoax by members of the website 4chan to "falsely promote the gesture as a hate symbol, claiming that the gesture represented the letters 'wp,' for 'white power,' according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).

The hoaxers hoped "the media and liberals would overreact by condemning a common image as white supremacist," the ADL says.

Wow, it really does work! This explains a lot. I'll have to remember that the next time you throw infowars around anything Nausi says. We get to throw around 4chan now.

I'm watching the Cubs game right now, I don't need to read the same article that was already discussed during the pregame show. The Cubs condemned the guy and banned him most likely for life. Good riddance.

lol, why don't you quote the rest of the statement from the ADL, instead of just the first half that fits your narrative?

Because they're just stating the response from the Cubs. I went straight to the explanation because they didn't show the actual symbol in the picture.

But "by 2019, at least some white supremacists seem to have abandoned the ironic or satiric intent behind the original trolling campaign and used the symbol as a sincere expression of white supremacy," according to the ADL.
"By 2019" lol

And can you prove any of this? Can you show that white supremacists were using it in satire and now use it in sincerity? I'd love to see this. You can show someone's intent? When people have been playing that game for decades now, now you get to decide what their intent was? The cubs fan threw up peace symbols first, does he like being a hypocrite?

Not sure if you didn't read or you forgot the next paragraph on purpose?

At least, you tried.

Oh he definitely omitted the next paragraph on purpose. Not fooling anyone.

And the next paragraph has the ADL telling people not to jump to conclusions over the use of the symbol.

No, they didn't. As Shiroi said, you tried to sneak it by, and you failed. He flashed a sign that has been hijacked by white supremacists, and not so surprisingly, didn't get away with it.

But feel free to keep spinning.

I didn't try to sneak anything by, i posted the link to the entire article. And after skipping past all of the other points, the one that you decide to attach yourself to, tells you to not jump to conclusions. Yet you jumped off the cliff.

Its hard to tell if you are actually interested, but there are plenty of articles out there detailing his ban. Unfortunately for that guy, he chose a super popular team that was going to generate a lot of coverage.

I didn't have to whitelist it on mine. Now I have to figure out why my adblock isn't doing what it's supposed to do.

How is what I said any indication of supporting the democratic lead succession of the 1860s?

I need to know how you pieced that together.
