At the risk of being flamed, isn't the OK sign a tribute to white supremacy? I know that's what I've been told, but wanted to hear if there is something else to it. Obviously it can just mean "OK" as well. Or maybe my question should reference this instance when KR used it in a photo. Do you guys interpret that as a "white power" sign, or something else?
In case it hasn't been answered already (I did search three pages of responses after your question) and because this issue is now surfacing again and repeatedly in the news media November 2021 after the acquittal, the OK sign with three fingers is not "white supremacy" like the media claims but rather the group called THREE PERCENTERS hence the three fingers.
I had forgotten about the III Percenters and was actually stupid enough, but only for an hour, to believe the bullshit news media propaganda lie-machine that Kyle Rittenhouse was flashing a white supremacy sign with others at a bar.
Then I snapped out of my stupidity and remembered the III Percenters and that the three fingers represent the three percent crowd. AAAAAND of course the lying trash propaganda news machine tries to paint the III Percenters as "anti-government" when in fact they are pro-government, pro-constitutionalist government, and their stated mission is to preserve the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and our rights affirmed by the founding documents.
Nothing more, they are not a terrorist organization, not anti-government, not white supremacists, and the "three finger OK sign" is their symbol for III Percenters.

Seriously you don’t know the OK sign meant OK??? Where have you been all your life? The Progressives coined the WS label on it just like the did em with “assault weapon & weapon of war”… Hyperbolic sensationalism sells their agenda…

Not exactly.
There was a troll on 4Chan that started the 'OK symbol = white power' thing, as a way to troll the left....and the left ran with it... the OK hand symbol has never been associated with 3 percenters or white supremacists, except to troll the left.
Even the ADL fessed up after the initial uproar and acknowledged they'd been had...

Kyle says he supports the BLM terrorist organization. Glad he supports black lives, because BLM certainly doesn't. Most BLM supporters just go by the name, and don't know shit about what they really stand for. Kinda like a Colonel Sanders Organization for the Protection of Chickens. https://www.jpost.com/international/kyl ... ews-685727 “I’m not a racist person. I support the BLM movement and peacefully demonstrating,” the recently-acquitted Illinois resident told Carlson on his popular nightly show Tucker Carlson Tonight on Sunday. “I support peaceful protesting and I believe there needs to be change,” the teenager said before blaming what he called “unfair prosecution” in his case. “It’s just amazing to see how much a prosecutor can take advantage of someone,” he stated.

He’s gonna be breaking it off in the ass of a lot of people for defamation. Saying he’s okay with BLM is just one way of covering his ass before hand .

Taking the law into one's own hands and attempting to effect justice according to one's own understanding of right and wrong; action taken by a voluntary association of persons who organize themselves for the purpose of protecting a common interest, such as liberty, property, or personal security; action taken by an individual or group to protest existing law; action taken by an individual or group to enforce a higher law than that enacted by society's designated lawmaking institutions; private enforcement of legal norms in the absence of an established, reliable, and effective law enforcement body.
So it is "absence of an established, reliable, and effective law enforcement body" in Kenosha that night, not Kyle, created - by definition - a "vigilantism". And what does it do in such case? "Enforcement of legal norms". What's wrong with that? Long live vigilantism!
