Thank you Sherlock.
B) were comparing a symbol adopted by an entire countries regime, virtually akin with the countries flag to an internet meme that was created for satire and to essentially trick people like you into getting your panties in a twist.
Nobody said anything about the "OK" gesture being the equivalent of the Swastika. Don't get your panties twisted. The discussion was that white supremacists have taken that gesture and turned it into a sign to symbolize White Power. They took a harmless symbol and turned it into their own.
Does that mean nobody can use that gesture anymore? No. It's all up for context just like how a Buddhist temple can have the same Swastika symbol on their front door and not get in trouble for hate symbols.
