The Circle Game or Neo Nazi symbol?

Before this recent accusation of that this symbol meant other nut jobs had claimed it was an Illuminati symbol. The problem is when you give any sort of backing to this crap it shows that people will ill intentions can in fact hijack whatever they want.

Maybe next they will decide that a thumbs up is also a white supremacist symbol. The reason is obvious I mean the thumb represents a lone person  on top of a mass (your hand) which represents a belief of one race racially superior to all coming out on top. See how dumb that is? I would bet a large sum of money though that you could easily pay bots and trolls to start spreading such a rumor and there would be articles written about it somewhere and eventually picked up by bigger news sites who scrape the bottom of the barrel for content at times.

Don't think it would work for the thumbs up sign, since that is so widespread and the attempt to hijack would be so blatant.

Also, if racists have worked to hijack the circle sign, and still others know the ambiguity can fluster the Brads out there and set the liberals a jawing, then people publicly flashing an upside down ok sign will quite naturally raise questions about public, not "hidden" meaning. 

I would add that, as one previously unaware of the circle game, I never saw the OK sign used upside down until it became publicly discussed as a racist symbol. That seems to me a feature (ambiguously) distinguishing wp from ok.
