"What's the finger mean?" was a summary call for assistance. This blog is mine.

First though. I'll begin with from whence this - hand, arm gestures began. Leaving out the so-called mexican waves of soccer fan crowds which can be very noisy affairs and generally friendly performances.

Putin, Putinism, Putinist

Chanced upon a shopping mall not far away from the Russian Stadia where President Putin would make his appearance to address a huge throng of ppl within hours, there was a group of young people being drilled by professional 'party' performance personnel. They would shout, sing, and - importantly - 'salute' their own dramatic silence as others nearby took up cheering at the end of each number.

This salute comprised raising both arms straight out, hands flat, fingers extended all at the same time. Overhead, of course. Symbolism, folks. Missing at this point is the diagonal of that Z figure we would all come to know from Ukraine's assault. Heads get in the way, yeah? Well, no, not if we 'eliminate' physical obstacles, cultists decide. Do that, and its a straight line like the others, and turn this figure 90 degrees left--we get OUR Z, Zed, Zee. Whaddya think, Vlad?

Humn, the head nods, lips move, mutter: I like no noise; what do you like? We like it's not fascist, fascism--two arms not one--we do both arms--doubling down gettit. Imagine Stadia doing this, whole Stadia. No?

Do silent Z. Both arms, with headless makes no trouble. So they're doing this for me. I say in the center. Center gotta hold, fold 'em in from the outer to make bigger center, yeah. Go, do it!

And they do as they are told.

Even when they go to fight in Ukraine, and "fascist" is there, not here, not in Russia. Propaganda beats belief when you do enough of it: incessantly.

US Rally

Fingers are foremost in the US; the first finger most of all: now. A curled forefinger beside its fingers fist so very well known nowadays. OK its meaning. White supremacy, or supremicist, substance of the bearer. But so very well known is not what is wanted; nowadays. No, we gottabe closer, cultists call. Together. so.. c'mon you guys you did it before, what's next? We don't beg, we don't borrow; we steal--like always!

Forefinger--straight out, straight up--No, not like you're testing the wind--direction is our thing! We plan, we know where we're going, and who leads us. Individual-1 that's who. Like in that law case; he showed it right there.. So, your first finger points up to him, tells him you do what he says. Gettit?

They got it.
