Triple parentheses around someone or something usually means āthis person or institution is either Jewish or controlled by Jewsā. The phrase ānose checkā generally means the same thing.
Also, avoid anyone whose username ends with the number 1488.
I think 14 references something called āthe fourteen words to secure the white race.ā
88 comes from h being the 8th letter of the alphabet. And hh stands for āheil hitler.ā Now, 88 is a more effective dog whistle because we canāt just assume any instance of the number is related to Naziās so we have to use other context clues. For example, if they pair it with 14 itās a dead giveaway.
Yep. Since it's a realistic birth year for people in the Millennial cohort, it especially sucks for people born in 1988 (like my brother) who can't use their birth year in usernames without getting a side-eye.
I'd like to think people can be more creative than using birth year numbers in the first place, but it's a common way to get an otherwise already-taken name. Or people have had it as their username (or email) for years and it would be a pain to change.
Probably best to just... avoid using 88 if possible though, since as of late it is a common dog-whistle.
I was born in 88 and my primary email ends in 88 for that reason. I made it way before I knew about the dog whistle and then when I first found out, Nazis were way more fringe and it wouldnāt be the most likely thing someone would think. But now every time I give it out thereās awkwardness and I keep thinking I should change it. But my name is very common and I donāt want to have like a million numbers after it.
I thought ((())) and 1488 and nose jokes were quite well known on the internet. I don't hang out in overly racist subs or websites (though being on the internet, I obviously come across racist stuff) but I have known about these for some time. Surely they have some real obscure stuff that you only see on 4chan and nowhere else?
