Twinkles
The Occupy movement hand signals are a group of hand signals used by Occupy movement protesters to negotiate a consensus. The signals have been equated with other hand languages used by soldiers, cliques, or even Wall Street traders. Hand signals are used instead of conventional audible signals, like applause, shouts, or booing, because they do not interrupt the speaker using the human microphone, a system where the front of the crowd repeats the speaker so that the content can be heard at the back of the crowd. Between sharing of information on Facebook, Twitter, and other news reports, the hand signals have become common at other Occupy movement protest locations. Some protesters go to neighboring groups to assist in teaching the hand signals along with other general cooperation. There are YouTube videos showing the hand signals, though the signals are not universal at all locations. Example signals * Up twinkles or simply twinkles are both hands raised with fingers pointing ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
