Then keep using it as the ok sign.

If they coopted the peace sign or the "I love you" sign, would you stop using them too? Stop giving in to their trolling. I feel like being so sensitive to Nazis gives them way more relevance than they deserve.

I'm not saying we should ignore Nazis in general, just... don't let them control our culture.

That's easier said than done when you have political idiots that will see it and try to ruin your life uploading shit to the internet saying you're doing it for the wrong reason. It's not just the Nazis themselves, but the idiots that think they're being progressive and an ally and all that shit when they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground.

Exactly. Progressives are their own worst enemy, and their behavior calling out Nazis just makes Nazis more popular.

It's usually best to ignore idiots and trolls than give them attention.
