The strategy is to make the offenses so vague and broad that you can charge anyone with a crime at any time. Then you can target your political and cultural opponents with constant prosecution while maintaining a veil of legitimacy.
Bonus: when people accuse you of being too zealous in your application of the law, you magnanimously let some stuff slide - usually serious crimes committed by your political and cultural allies.
“Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against - then you’ll know that this is not the age for beautiful gestures. We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted - and you create a nation of law-breakers - and then you cash in on guilt. Now, that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, that’s the game, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.”
According to the ADL, the numbers 1-11, 109/110, 12, 13, 13/52, 13/90, 14, 14/23, 14/88, 18, 21-2-12, 211, 23, 23/16, 28, 311, 318, 33/6, 38, 43, 511, 737, 83, and 88 are all hate symbols. Remember, kids, why was 6 afraid of 7? Because 7, 8, 9, and the ADL said it was a hate crime!
On the one hand, I'm glad none of my favorite numbers made the list. On the other hand, I'm a little disappointed none of my favorite numbers made the list.
I know Sarah Silverman was afraid of the roads because they had "swastikas" (construction scribbles) on them but I don't know about cars themselves. Maybe just the German made ones?
Which, to be fair, aren't all the German car companies connected with the Nazis?
nope their women are also responsible for up bringing of their men, 13 is indictment of the race. if by some miracles we can get rid of the 7, im not going let the other 6 stay.
I always feel bad for people with graduation or birth dates in 1988 because of the old internet username custom of using the last 2 digits of some personally important year. Presumably they would be quickly chastised online for using evil numbers.
13/52 and 13/90 are racist numeric codes used by white supremacists to
portray African-Americans as savage and criminal. White supremacists claim
that Blacks make up only 13% of the U.S. population but commit 52% of all
murders and 90% of all violent interracial crime.
Excerpts from the full write-up:
...a shorthand reference to racist propaganda claims by white supremacists against African Americans to depict them as savage and criminal in nature.
...the number 13 refers to the purported percentage of the U.S. population that is African American. The number 52 refers to the alleged percentage of all murders committed in the U.S. that are committed by African Americans...
...In any case, it should be noted that the vast majority of violent crime is intraracial (committed by a person of one race against a person of the same race), not interracial, in nature.
Alright, so according to the ADL, we shouldn't care about interracial crimes...oh, only when it's against white people. Otherwise it's their whole fucking existence. Evil fuckers.
...In some instances, white supremacists use the numbers as a purported police radio code, using language like, “We have a 1390 in progress.”
Hahahaha. White supremacists are funny people, I guess.
I'd argue they do actually mean it as they said it in this case. Per capita? Sure. But in general it is just crime overall; whites are much more likely to victimize other whites, blacks with blacks, etc. That is an overall crime trend, so in this case I don't view the ADL as trying to pull a fast one with that phrasing.
My favorite part though, is that the ADL of all organizations is essentially demanding people ignore interracial crime (in this particular and very specific instance, of course!) because it's a relatively small proportion of overall crime. You know what else is tiny proportion of overall crime? Antisemitic attacks. White on black attacks. Guess we gotta ignore those too, right, ADL?
The list just got 2 numbers taller! 17 and 100 are also a hate numbers, just cited by neo-Nazi white supremacist YesMovement to try to attack the noble Democratic Party subbranchadvocate for the Jewish people.
I heard about this on the Lotus Eaters, this may be my favourite fact to remember when someone quotes the ADL.
I wish "Phase 2" of It's ok to be white had taken off, the gradual lightening of the text of the pieces of paper untill it became a white piece of paper.

Oy vey goyim look at the antisemitism evidenced by information hotlines and Boeing model numbers.
What are they going to do, sue Boeing? I think I've asked quite the rhetorical question, haven't I?
Damn, apparently all my favorite numbers aside from my football number is a hate crime
On the one hand, I'm glad none of my favorite numbers made the list. On the other hand, I'm a little disappointed none of my favorite numbers made the list.
Look a this guy discriminating against single digit numbers, bigot.
737, airports confirmed hotspots for nAzIS.
They're scared of a car or consider a car a hate crime?
I know Sarah Silverman was afraid of the roads because they had "swastikas" (construction scribbles) on them but I don't know about cars themselves. Maybe just the German made ones?

Porsche of them like the people's car.
There is a Japanese car named 88.
A leap year, as I recall.
I too celebrate the birth year of Rabbi Yosef Karo. Shabbat shalom!
Such a fun number
Holy shit, my water bill was $52.52 a few months ago. I can't believe I paid that and didn't submit it to the news as evidence of hate crimes.
Worry not, comrade. 52 is only racist when paired with 13!
It's funny because those numbers are outdated now anyways. I don't remember if the 13 changed, but the second number was 60+.
I also knew they would gladly say that the truth is racist, but that's far from being a new thing with them.
It was also never correct, as the 13 is the black population as a whole, wherein the majority of the violent crimes are committed by the males.
Meaning it was around 7/53.
nope their women are also responsible for up bringing of their men, 13 is indictment of the race. if by some miracles we can get rid of the 7, im not going let the other 6 stay.
The point of the meme was the raw statistical data of it being undeniable.
You right, but that's adding extra conversation which just gives them more room to wriggle in.

I'd like them to give the explanation as to why 13/52 is "hate number". Might make some normies start noticing things, so better leave it unexplained.
They actually do explain it, surprising. Well, sort of describe it. Badly.
Here's the document, and here it is in PDF.

They mean black on black crime, but its racist to say that.
they are arguing blacks aren't violent by pointing out how violent blacks are toward other blacks.

Based.
I'm going to commit a mass hate crime!
BEHOLD!
Someone needs to post on 4chan how 91 is racist because 9+1 equals the ten commandments.
Next month we'll tackle 7 for the seven days of creation.
where's my 40% of the 1% are from 2% tribe?

And this is how Maths became racist.
