A term created by the ADL. An enemy image mobilised to facilitate legal restriction of free speech. |
Since 2000 the ADL has maintained a lists of "hate symbols". The list on the group's website included icons, gestures and numbers (for example, 12, 13, 14 & 28). The ADL was criticised in 2019 after adding the American Sign language symbol for "OK" to its list. The ADL claimed that the gesture was "in some circles as a sincere expression of white supremacy".[1]
Media coverage
The mainstream media reports ADL propaganda as fact. Apparently the OK sign is white supremacy.[2]
Cancel culture could now attack unsuspecting people for using said emoji. Anyone using the emoji can now be called alt-right.
A bowl haircut and the Pepe the Frog meme are also considered symbols of hate by the ADL.
