Iirc fwiw that "White nationalist symbol" was the OK symbol, which is not a white nationalist symbol and never was. The closest it gets is 4chan convinced some news agencies that it was simply because 4chan is trolls, the news bought it, and then instead of saying "ok you got us good that time Mr Anonymoose" they doubled down and said "no look it really is and if it wasn't it is now," and as a result of that every right winger nazi or not thought it was hilarious and in using it weren't saying "white power" but rather "liberals are idiots, they still think this means WP." It's literally just a hand signal version of "lets go brandon."

Idk about whatever group he was with, but I cringe every time I see that old troll still working on people. It gives them too much power, they're literally using it making fun of "stupid people who think it means WP" and by being one of those people we play right into their desired role.
