Edit for anyone who is actually curious what the “joke” is:
1488 (sometimes 14/88 or just 88) is a Neo-Nazi dogwhistoe to identify other Nazis. The “14” refers to the “14 Words” phrase “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.” The “88” part eferences the letters “HH” (H is the eight letter of the alphabet). 88=HH=“Heil Hitler.”
“I went on a community that mirrors a blatantly neo-Nazi website and saw neo-Nazi material!”
No well adjusted person will see this post and become a Nazi, but plenty of normal people can see the humor in the absurdity of this post.
I didn’t even know the meaning of those numbers and became a neonazi anyway /s
Ah, how do you do fellow Neo-Nazi?
