    That’s kind of the thing, could we NOT demonize the number 88?? The year I was born, a number I have used places sometimes? Just because it’s my birth year?

    Idk it is slightly suspicious, but I wouldn’t have given it a second thought. Booger? Boogie? I suppose it could be boogaloo. But would a Boogaloo Nazi/Hitler enthusiast concerned about prepping for said boogaloo be driving a fucking KIA? 🤔

      I’m not demonizing the number 88, I’m sorry that Neo-Nazis have associated with a shorthand for your birth year, but now it’s worth raising an eyebrow. But I agree, an 88 by itself is not indicative of Nazism, but there are some other variables here that squash my doubt.

      I remember a comedian having an entire set about trying to sell a Kia in the south on Craigslist and getting tons of calls from white supremacists that thought he was sending a coded “Klansman I Am” message

      it’s supposed to be something people already use. They don’t care if it mis-implicates ordinary people, that’s how they blend in.
