    Looks like someone who needs some break lights replacing, maybe two tires as well.

        You’ve got to be kidding? They’re appropriating Electric Boogaloo (a film about break dancing and the black community) as their slogan? That is wrong on so many levels.

          Not only that, according to the wikipedia article OP linked:

          “The boogaloo movement has created logos and other imagery incorporating [igloo] snow huts and Hawaiian prints based on these derivations.”

          If white supremacy was so “supreme”, why are these morons using Indigenous-based iconography for their movement I wonder. They’ll claim it’s to “fly under the radar”, but that just makes them look even more smooth brained.

          A few years ago Republicans were also dancing to System of a Down’s Killing in the Name Of song as if it was pro-them.

          Never underestimate the amount of stupid and innapropriate conservatives are capable of.

        That’s what they meant but I just read it as they were a self aware booger brained racist.

      It just occurred to me how absolutely accurate it is that the cops are holding the line defending the small number of Nazis from the counter-protestors. They also have that cop who hates the Nazis just like everyone else, but he’s still doing his job keeping everyone back, which is also pretty accurate.

    So, funny story, as a kid my favorite number was 8, had a few reasons that matched 8.

    So I always used it in names and such. But, often it wasnt unique, so I used 88 instead. Emails, account names, even video game characters have 88 in them to this day.

    … Am I accidentally a Nazi?

      Born in 1988? Lots of folks born that year decided to have those two digits in their first Internet usernames as well. A few of those will still be in use, no doubt, so you’re not alone. (Me? No, I’m older.)

      In your shoes, I’d maybe think about changing things around, especially the easy ones, but you’re not me, nor I you.

      Literally in the exact same position… I’ve been using it for 20+ years and I’ll be damned if I let them take that away from me though.

      No. Use swastikas to mean peace and good luck, use the color red to mean communism, wealth, that you like the color red, whatever you like. Don’t refuse to use a symbol because others have used it for bad. Co opt it back.

      Tell me about it… I got banned from asklemmy after leaving a completely innocuous comment, pretty sure because I have 88 in my username. I’ve been using this in various emails/usernames since before I even knew what fascists were.

    So I grew up in Canada, on the west coast, basically Vancouver. So I’m well aware of the dog-whistles. I now live in Scotland. There was an event where I work recently, and the event contractors were 88 Events. And immediately I was like: FUCKIN NAZIS!

    My wife seems to think that they’re too…idk…girly? to be nazis, but where the fuck did 88 come from, they started up in 97, so couldn’t be that. I feel like I’m being fuckin paranoid, but the fascy bastards are coming out the woodworks lately…shrugs

    The disambiguation page for Boogaloo is now a bunch of awesome shit like music and dance styles plus an extremist movement…

    Fuck you, choose a different name for your whack ass antics.

        I’m not sure if you are asking me if I’m being sarcastic or if you’re confused if you want to be sarcastic? Are you implying sarcastically that Kia’s are better than American brands like Ford/Chevrolet/GM?

              I’m driving a Kia Forte made in Mexico, same as my old Chevy Cavalier was, so it’s barely even foreign fwiw. It’s an okay car, hope it stays that way for a few more years.

                Keep er under warranty and soon as it’s out, trade it in for another under warranty. Obviously that’s just my take on them though…at the end of the day, a car is better than no car and I can get jiggy with that friend!
