To be clear, I’m not arguing that people don’t put 88 as a clear dog whistle to white supremacists/general Nazi bullshit.
To be clear, anyone who supports trump is already nazi-adjacent enough to get no benefit of the doubt, and I don’t buy the “It’s my birth year” shit from any of them. Even if they were born in 1988, that’s not the reason 88 is in their username.
I also don’t believe that someone whose entire personality centers around cannabis has “420” in their username because they were born on April 20th. I don’t believe that some fratboy who is constantly making horny comments has “69” in his username because he was born on June 9th, either.
Yes, I understood that. I’d be more willing to be convinced in the 420 case, because the stakes are so low. Unlike being a Nazi, nobody gets punched in the face for being a stoner.

Police have a long history of punching stoners in the face and worse. If you don’t want to get called a nazi, don’t do nazi shit with an 88 in your username.

88 is so much worse that I wouldn’t even compare then to the anodyne 420 & 69 examples.
I’m just saying that if a stoner tried to convince me that he had 420 in his username because he was born on April 20, I wouldn’t buy it.
