I think most people are playing the game, a decent chunk are straight up trolling knowing the second use of it and making fun of the hysteria about it, and a small amount have adopted it as a white supremacist symbol.

It seems almost like a sick recruitment strategy:

- Associate a beloved past time (the circle-punch game) with their abhorrent ideology. 
- Attempt to frame the the anger of the tainting of the past-time, at the people who are speaking out against neo-nazism instead of the neo-nazis themselves.


This probably works most effectively on young teens who haven't fully developed their critical thinking abilities yet.
