    No. 88 is just a number. It can be used as a dog whistle, but it can also be used, for instance, to describe a quantity equidistant between 87 and 89. Numbers and symbols don’t make a Nazi, actions and rhetoric do.

    I love Norse symbology. I’m not going to stop loving it because some fuckbrains use it to spread hate. Fuck that.

      Based. Same goes for the boogaloo “movement” just because there are Nazis in it doesn’t mean it’s a primaryily Nazi community.

        No, but it is primarily a white supremacists movement and the ‘88’ on the license plate kinda takes away all doubt.

          Bro. Read the comment. There’s shitheads in every community. Boogaloo is about preparing for what we see as the inevitable second civil war. Not anyone’s skin color.
