The noose is a symbol of lynching in North America. It occasionally makes appearance at political gatherings to threaten opponents, such as the gallows constructed during the attempted insurrection at the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021. The noose may also appear in far-right memes as a visual shorthand for Day of the Rope, a white supremacist concept originating from The Turner Diaries. The appearance of a noose, even in extreme spaces, isn’t always explicitly hateful. There are numerous memes indicating suicidal feelings or intent that do not target hate against any community.
