It's perhaps a commentary all itself but I don't understand any of this except the "okay" hand gesture which is ambiguous to me because I thought white supremacists tried to co-opt it but I have no idea how successful they actually were.

Can anyone define all the fascist symbolism here for me?

Same. I see a lot of far-right branded pickups and this doesn't look like one to me. Am I missing something?

Edit: I see the Proud Boys logo is a laurel wreath with "PB" in the center. Though the laurel wreath by itself is ambiguous. That symbol is used in lots of non-sinister contexts.

In germany the "ok" hand sign is a neonazio dog whistle ( here the "hitlergruß" the nazi hand gesture is a felony so the fucks get creative). Dont know if it has the same meaning over the pond.

I’m not saying that’s not a thing, but I’ve lived in Ohio most my life and I’ve never seen that here as thing.
