“Secret” is tongue in cheek.
We know people flash the white power hand sign when having their picture taken, as if it isn’t a racist dog whistle.
The Bloods have a hand sign. I’m impressed that one can spell the entire word with one’s hands.
Jeep drivers have a cutesy hand wave that signals a common identity with other Jeep drivers.
AFAIK there’s no hand sign that espouses the Eat The Rich sentiment. There’s an opportunity to create something new where one doesn’t yet exist.
If “Eat the Rich” produced a secret hand gesture, what would/should it look like?
I understand the argument of “This doesn’t help; instead write to your congressman or volunteer to burp newborns.” I get that, but this is independent of that.
This truly belongs in AskLemmy but their (justified) temporary ban on US politics seems to discourage this question.
I have one for ya.
American Sign Language: “hungry”
The sign for “hungry” is made by forming your right hand into the letter “c.” Move your hand down the middle of your chest.
BUT DONT MOVE YOUR HAND UP AND DOWN UNLESS YOU’RE HORNY
I like this one. The tie between “eat” and “hungry” works.
There’s an ick factor imagining a middle class American using a sign that’d also be a good fit for people who are literally starving. So that leaves me unsure. But this is certainly in the right spirit.
Ooooh, but the other uses of the sign increase plausible deniability.
