I don't know if it was really a false flag. Nazis did start using the OK symbol for a time, and I think that was the point. It was built to be smoke and mirrors.

I do believe a lot of channers thought that it was just a joke. I mean, that ambiguity is what makes the dog whistle what it is.

But yeah, it's a pretty lame magic show when all your tricks are, like, doing a Charlottesville but saying you're not.
