    88 = Heil Hitler

    That’s one I’ve never heard before. Is it some sort of neonazi slang or am I just really dumb?

    Well, looked it up before posting this comment. That’s absolutely crazy that it’s an actual thing.

      It’s literally one of their most common dogwhistles and has been for as long as the Internet has existed, lol

      If you see a 14 or a 88 anywhere in a username you need to start asking questions about intent.

      I’m internet poisoned as hell but I’m surprised that that’s not common knowledge. Its also often 1488 with the 14 referring to the 14 words of the following neo-nazi slogans:

      “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”

      “because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth.”
