The number “1488” is a common symbol used among hate groups. The “14” is shorthand for the “14 Words,” a stand-in for a white supremacist slogan, while “88” refers to an abbreviation of “Heil Hitler,” since H is the eighth letter of the alphabet.
What are those fourteen words? Curious how they never say. Because they're innocuous...and correct.
As far as I knew, and it seems most actual neo-Nazis seem to mean it that way, 88 is indeed Heil Hitler. Not saying it can't have other meanings, but I did think Hitler love was the primary one.
Happy to be proven wrong, as I certainly haven't delved into it deeply, and I would actually find it hilarious if 1488 being a Hitler refence was just another media smear.
We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children
Sure. Their primary concern is that it lends legitimacy to the claim that white people will cease to exist and white children are in danger. I wouldn't agree with that if it were 1978. White people as a racial construct are not going to simply die out, that's not really a thing. However, there is rampant, systemic, anti-white discrimination at this point that endangers white kids and teaches them to hate themselves.
The saying itself is not much of a problem. All the other crazy shit before and after it is, and more specifically, the idea that the best way to protect white people is with socialism; well that's a special case of retard.
Socialism didn't protect Russia, Germany, or Britain. Imagine being fucking retarded enough to think that therefore Socialism would protect white people, when Socialism is actively destroying white people right now.
Sure. Their primary concern is that it lends legitimacy to the claim...
Frankly, fuck their concerns. I'm not going to for a single minute take the arguments of people who absolutely despise "whiteness" when it comes to whether or not white people should look after themselves. It's a bit of a conflict of interests, I'd say.
It's like the people who take every single instance of anything as proof that climate change is real, and they should push the agendas they already wanted to push. Or the disarmament squad, who will take any event as a sign they need to push the gun control legislation they already wanted to push.
They're not reliable or trustworthy, so frankly their concerns when it comes to white people is beyond worthless.
...the claim that white people will cease to exist and white children are in danger...White people as a racial construct are not going to simply die out, that's not really a thing.
I mean, I would have thought so too. Until you notice what they're doing to any and every "white majority" country (and I put that in quotes because they don't call black countries "black majority," or Asian countries "Asian majority," and the whole concept is a linguistic attack itself.) It's not going to be soon, but if white people aren't allowed to have anything for themselves, and any group of predominately or exclusively white people is deemed racist...over time, yes, "white people" will absolutely die out, or at least shrivel away to nothing. and once the numbers get low enough, probably get genocided actively even nearer to extinction. You just have to look at the trends to realize that, yes, white people are being shoved out, and that will at least potentially result in eventual near extinction.
However, there is rampant, systemic, anti-white discrimination at this point that endangers white kids and teaches them to hate themselves.
And, if white people aren't allowed to have an identity, but every other racial group is, and they're mostly trained to hate white people...yeah, whites aren't faring too well in that scenario.
The saying itself is not much of a problem.
Tell them that.
All the other crazy shit before and after it is, and more specifically, the idea that the best way to protect white people is with socialism; well that's a special case of retard.
Awwww shit, there you go again. One of my least favorite arguments. If you care about white people, you're a socialist and a leftist. Tiresome.
Socialism didn't protect Russia, Germany, or Britain. Imagine being fucking retarded enough to think that therefore Socialism would protect white people, when Socialism is actively destroying white people right now.
No one is calling for socialism. You just use that as a smear against people you don't like, to try to score cheap points. It's a shame, too. You're obviously a smart guy, and you're good on plenty of subjects. But this is just bullshit, and it annoys me every time you, and others using the same playbook, use that tactic.
If defending white people is socialism, what should white people do? Because you seem to just lump anything pro-white in with Nazism, and Nazism in with socialism (yeah, point, but it's a tad more complicated), and then with leftism. So basically, to you, any pro-white movement is inherently leftist, and thus inherently retarded. So do white people just die out, or what?
I'm a white person who cares about white people, and thinks they're under attack. What is an acceptable attitude or response?
Just go die in the woods alone like a freedom loving rugged individual bruh
Still a more respectful answer than leftists would give, so that's something, I suppose.
It really is absurd that 'just let white people die out on their own' is a compassionate take when grading on a bell curve, where leftists are involved.
Pretty sure letting white people go off and die in the woods in freedom is far-right white supremacy nowadays. Yikes.
It's not going to be soon, but if white people aren't allowed to have anything for themselves, and any group of predominately or exclusively white people is deemed racist...over time, yes, "white people" will absolutely die out, or at least shrivel away to nothing.
No, this is Progressive Nationalist doctrine. Even in the worst case you can politically imagine, stateless peoples exist regardless of political recognition. That isn't even remotely going to come to that.
One of my least favorite arguments. If you care about white people, you're a socialist and a leftist.
No, just the opposite. If your are a Leftist or a Socialist, then I know for a fact you don't care about American Whites. The same way a Feminist doesn't care about women, or a BLM activist doesn't care about American Blacks.
I'm a white person who cares about white people, and thinks they're under attack. What is an acceptable attitude or response?
Open and immediate confrontation against racialist bullshit. That's what I've done, even at work, directly to people's faces. I make it clear that under no uncertain terms I will respond to racialism with direct, open, immediate hostility and condemnation regardless of consequence. I will not tolerate it, and will not tolerate it being pushed onto my co-workers, nor any member of my team.
You don't tolerate it, you don't compromise, you set the tempo of the battle and you start it early. "But you could lose your job!" Good. Don't work for racist, Nazi, trash. If you are a good employee, then they don't deserve you, and better people should earn your labor.
And yes, that includes these fucking Black National Socialist terrorists talking about "racial equity" and "social justice".
Beyond that, take care of your neighbors, family, friends, and local community. Be the pillar of your community. If you really want to effect positive change for American Whites, then you need to check out what Booker T. Washington did for American Blacks.
And, again, I'm not trying to be mean, I don't dislike or disrespect you. I know you're a smart guy. I just thing you're on the wrong side of this, and disingenuous on this topic as well.
Even in the worst case you can politically imagine, stateless peoples exist regardless of political recognition. That isn't even remotely going to come to that.
Stateless people exist...but not as any sort of power. Stateless people exist...at the mercy of the State.
Again, they're after white people, in every white location. I know you know this. Over time, that will result in white people fading out. In any nonwhite location, whites are the outsiders. In any white location...well, our own governments are turning against us steadily, we have affirmative action against us, we often have all but "No Whites Allowed" signs. If the trend continues, that doesn't leave us anywhere at all pleasant.
US went from +90% white to ~60% in around a century. Many other "white majority" (again, linguistic attack on white countries, no one else is a "majority" country, they're just an Asian or black country, or whatever) followed the same trend. All power structures are against whites. There is no pro-white group with power really anywhere in the world. Almost any country that went from majority white to minority white basically genocided the white people there.
To act like it's impossible that whites get driven to utter irrelevance and put to the mercy of people who have declared their hatred of us means you're either not paying attention (which I know isn't true), or just don't want to admit it.
If your are a Leftist or a Socialist, then I know for a fact you don't care about American Whites.
Again, linguistics. You accuse anyone who says they're for white people of being socialist leftists. So it doesn't matter who you say cares about white people and who doesn't, when you label anyone who says they care about white people as people who by definition can't care about white people. Nope.
It is a shame. I do mean it when I say I think he's smart, and that I don't hate him or anything. He's good on lots of issues, I'm not just blowing smoke. But...yeah, when he's playing defense on this topic it's an absolute pain in the ass, and often first rate bullshit. It's all manipulation and linguistic trickery.
...he's going to tell you which ones good, which ones bad, and how your opinion disqualifies you from one and forces you into the other. Complete nonsense.
I don't hate anyone here. There are people I distrust, people I disagree with and, yes, even people who are completely against me on an issue, but what's the point in hating them? It would just make this board a less pleasant place, too.
I honestly believe something broke him 2 months ago, what that is or was I dunno, but he spurted gibberish which was removed and never answer my query about it.
None of this is a word salad, I'm being as explicitly clear as is possible.
Stateless people exist...but not as any sort of power. Stateless people exist...at the mercy of the State.
None of this has ever been true. Even when people are within empires, power still exists without being an ethno-state. If it weren't true, Poland wouldn't exist, and we'd still be talking about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ethno-states are typically the exception in history. A people can have power even without the states to do so.
Actually, I just thought of a good example!
Jews.
They didn't even have a state for over a thousand years.
Over time, that will result in white people fading out.
Again, not even in the worst case scenario, and I don't think the worst case will come to pass.
There is no pro-white group with power really anywhere in the world.
That's because the concept of "white racial solidarity" is an anathema to white people. Even the Nazis weren't Pro-White. They were Pro-German. The are only two groups that were ever really "pro-white". The British Anglos, and the Southern Scoth-Irish & Anglo former Whigs. Even then, those people used two different definitions. The British Anglos referring primarily to the Peoples of Great Britain; and the American Southerner Whigs referring to non-Blacks & non-Orientals. The Brits are, frankly, a mess because of the conflict between the old definition and the American definition; and the Americans south abandoned white racialism because it didn't do shit to help them.
To act like it's impossible that whites get driven to utter irrelevance and put to the mercy of people who have declared their hatred of us
Whomever told you that white people could be driven to irrelevance or vassalized forgot they landed on the moon.
No, seriously, being stateless does not mean being without power or influence in a society. "The only legitimate method for political power is a government job" is simply not understanding history, or operating off of a Leftist dialectic on power.
You accuse anyone who says they're for white people of being socialist leftists.
You're just refusing to listen. I accuse Socialists of being Socialists. Being pro-white is not even definitive of an ideology. The issue is that people assume that National Socialists have a monopoly on that claim. They don't. They are race traitors 100% of the time because they will always sacrifice their own clientele class for power.
None of this has ever been true. Even when people are within empires, power still exists without being an ethno-state.
When did I say ethno-state? Go ahead, show me.
Jews...They didn't even have a state for over a thousand years.
Yeah, and, even when they were powerful, they often eventually got driven out, because they were an Other, easy to turn against.
[white people fading out.] Again, not even in the worst case scenario, and I don't think the worst case will come to pass.
We're already seeing it. White people are fading out demographically in white countries. White people as a group are losing power. All power structures are arrayed against whites. This is nonsense, again.
That's because the concept of "white racial solidarity" is an anathema to white people.
Oh, that's a good one. Play it again. Again, you just make up your own definitions and act like it's the Truth. No group that won't look after itself will fair well in the long term.
Even the Nazis weren't Pro-White. They were Pro-German.
Alright. If you're going to be extremely pedantic (shocker), let me rephrase. There is no real pro-American movement. There is no pro-British movement. There is no modern pro-German movement. There is no pro-X movement in white countries. That's not on the menu.
The are only two groups that were ever really "pro-white". The British Anglos, and the Southern Scoth-Irish & Anglo former Whigs.
And, again, there is no pro-Anglo movement. There is no pro-Irish movement. They're all modern bastardizations. They're small movements, that hold relatively limited power, and are still attacked for being racist.
Because, again, you're not allowed to be pro-white, pro-Anglo, pro-nation, pro-whatever, in historically white countries. That's not a thing. There is no racial/ethnic whatever movement with any power that benefits whites. And if you want to quibble on "white," you can break that down in country too. Again. No pro-white-American, no pro-white-British, no pro-white-Irish, etc. And all those would be quickly cracked down on.
Your arguments are absurd. White countries are not allowed to be pro-white, even within the contexts of their own countries. And nowadays all white countries are actively anti-white.
Whomever told you that white people could be driven to irrelevance or vassalized forgot they landed on the moon.
Uhm. Weren't we around 90% white when we did that shit?
No, seriously, being stateless does not mean being without power or influence in a society.
When you have the State arrayed against you, the laws arrayed against you, and the propaganda media arrayed against you, while you're becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the population in your own countries...that doesn't bode well. I'm not saying there's no power, I'm saying it's not a winning move, and pretending everything is fine is certainly not one.
We used to have white countries. We don't anymore. Simple.
You're just refusing to listen. I accuse Socialists of being Socialists. Being pro-white is not even definitive of an ideology.
Again, you brought up socialism. I didn't. Pro-white people here don't. You are the one who keeps calling people socialists and leftists for being pro white. It's boring.
According to this morons paradigm the Holocaust was totally really killing 6 million jews, and so the jews are a great example of why it's totally fine to be a stateless minority? Not risky at all!
White populations are not "fading out". White populations are being displaced by Mass Migration. Mass Deportations fix that. The white populations are pretty much static, except for Leftist Whites which are in decline because they keep killing themselves with nihilism and abortions.
MAGA is literally the Pro-American movement. America First is the Pro-American movement. You might not like that American isn't innately White, but that's because it's a Liberal Revolutionary country. Americans are both Civic National, and assimilatory, not exclusively White. The pro-British movements are nascent. There is an emergent Pro-Anglo (Read: Pro-English) movement, and the Pro-Irish movement was a Leftist project that is currently attempting to re-assert itself against globalism as the Irish were inevitably betrayed by Socialists.
Yes we were 90% white around that time, I'll say it again, what makes you think a group of whites can't accomplish things?
I didn't say there aren't problems facing whites, or that everything's fine. I explicitly said that it's not and that anti-white racialism should be opposed.
Yes, the fake Pro-White people here bring up National Socialism all the time, because they are National Socialists. There are hardly any pro-white people that aren't NatSocs on this board.
Again, you are explicitly refusing to listen to my responses, and substituting them with what you think I'm really saying.
Hahaha! Jews! That’s your counter example? Putting aside all the baggage on particular group, let’s just take their own history at face value: they got driven out of country after country after country through no fault of their own until most recently they got holocausted. Luckily, many of them escaped or were living elsewhere, and they got enough sympathy and influence in other countries that they were able to build their own state, so their position is a bit more secure now even though they have lots of people that hate them still.
Is that about right? Is that something you’d agree to, as a broad strokes sort of summary?
Great! Now, imagine a much much more globalized world, where the Jews get driven out of a nation or targeted for a holocaust, but no one takes them in because the same exact ideology has taken over (or at least exerts massive pressure on) all the other countries they might also live in or flee to. Instead of it being “Spain expels the Jews” in 1492 or whatever, it’s “every country in Europe expels the Jews all at once, and actually maybe instead of making them leave they formally round them up and kill them.”
And yet, the jews still exist, correct? The jews haven't had a homeland for over 2,000 years, and despite not having a political state they still have their own communities, traditions, culture, and even language. In fact, the largest population of jews on Earth, to this day, remains in the US, where they have never had a state, and have never had a majority of the population, and were never institutionalized.
And yet there they are, largely in peaceful and prosperous communities in the US.
You think given the worst possible case scenario for whites, which is still not even remotely likely, they couldn't preform at least just as well as the jews. Last time I checked, even the Boers and Rhodesians are still holding together under terrible conditions.
Aryanism is not White Solidarity. Otherwise, they wouldn't be seeing the Slavs as a sub-human species. National Socialism was for Germans, not "Whites".
Hell, just take a look at the shit the Azov Battallion has been saying for 20 years. They're avid Hitler fans and reject the Rus as Orientaloids.
The people who like to call people NAZI and the people who wish to be NAZI are similar in neither group actually know about NAZIs politically speaking.
Fascism is the practical application of Socialism.
National Socialism is the practical application of Race Communism.
The more the Leftist tries to make his ideals work, the more he becomes a Fascist or a National Socialist. This is because if he tries to hold to his raw principles (like Bolshevism or Anarcho-Communism) the either dies or immediately kills the guy standing next to him. His ideology is so blood-thirsty and psychotic that it can only work when he off-loads his blood-thirsty psychosis to the state to manage for him. Hence, why it is practical.
Fascism is the practical application of Socialism.
I'm not a fascist myself (actually a bit of a lolbertarian, insert laughter here), but that's a massive oversimplification. You people love to say fascism is socialism is leftism, to try to discredit people you call Nazis. Ironically, a leftist tactic itself. Your argument is literally the leftist argument of calling anyone a Nazi, but you just extrapolate to then say that all Nazis are leftists, because that's a more damaging attack to the targets you use it on.
I could go into detail how fascism isn't (always) socialism or leftism, but that isn't really the point. I started to, but then deleted it. Point is, your argument amounts to calling people you disagree with leftists, while passing through Nazism first, as mentioned above. It doesn't really matter if fascism is socialism or not; it's a disingenuous attack, unless used against people who explicitly wear the Nazi label. And even then, you have to back it up a bit, or you're just calling people leftists, just like the left calls everyone Nazis.
Being pro-white does not mean you're a Nazi, and being Nazi does not mean you're a leftist.
Being pro-white, as a white person, is good. That has nothing to do with Nazism, socialism, or leftism.
I'm white. I like white people. More importantly, I stand by the right to say that, from a freedom perspective. I'm not a Nazi. I'm not a socialist. I'm not a leftist. I am pro-white, though.
Fascism is Socialism explicitly, by it's own terminology. It just happens to be a very specific variant of Socialism which can be summarized to: Italian State Syndicalism.
Fascism is Socialism. There is no mechanism which allows it to not be Socialism. It literally can't be anything else. You can claim that "calling people you disagree with leftists" is simply not part of it. I disagree with Monarchism, but I've never called a Monarchist a Leftist, because Monarchism is not part of Leftism. Fascism is Leftism because it is Leftism. Disagreeing with me is irrelevant. Communism, Socialism, Fabian Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Social Democracy, Progressivism, Fascism, National Socialism, Anarcho-Syndicalism, Titoism, Maoism, Marxism, Marxist-Leninism, are all Leftist ideologies due to them ideologically stemming from Rousseau.
Furthermore, I'm not going to call National Socialists Fascists, because Fascism and National Socialism are distinct enough to be clearly separate ideologies. No aspect of Fascism is intertwined with Aryanism. In fact, Fascism is structured as a kind of Civic Nationalism, which is why Mussolini never targeted jews as a bourgouis race, at until the National Socialists controlled what was left of government.
Being pro-white does not mean your a NatSoc. Being a NatSoc makes you unequivocally a Leftist.
The problem with American National Socialism is that it frames itself as the sole legitimate defenders of white people. The same way every Leftist ideology claims authority over it's asserted protected group. Like all other Leftist ideologies, they are liars who are guaranteed to harm that protected group more than anyone else.
Fascism is Socialism explicitly...Fascism is Socialism....Furthermore, I'm not going to call National Socialists Fascists, because Fascism and National Socialism are distinct enough to be clearly separate ideologies.
Yes, I get that you're saying fascism is socialism, but socialism isn't necessarily fascism...but still. I still think the whole thing is a bit convoluted just to call people you disagree with Bad.
The people you keep calling fascists/socialists/leftists are people you're accusing of being national socialists. You continually call people Nazis, and then call them fascists and leftists.
You're pouring out a lot of Evocative and Capitalized words to try to send a message, but it's not consistent.
Fascism is structured as a kind of Civic Nationalism, which is why Mussolini never targeted jews as a bourgouis race, at until the National Socialists controlled what was left of government.
But...fascism is leftist is socialism, as you've said. So...civic nationalism is leftism? But ethnic nationalism is fascism/Nazism, which is also leftism?
You never answered how you can be pro-white without being a leftist according to you, and this just deepens the question. Can you even be a plain old nationalist without being a leftist, in your eyes?
If I can't advocate for my own people without being a leftist socialist...is there a way I can at least advocate for my nation without being a leftist socialist, or...? Again, do we just lay down and die, else be labeled leftists?
The problem with American National Socialism is that it frames itself as the sole legitimate defenders of white people.
Ahhhh. Clever. Ish.
You did it again. You flipped them. You're the one who keeps calling anyone pro-white a socialist, but then say that the issue isn't being pro-white, but the socialism. But you're the only one talking about socialism. No one else is. You're reading that into any vaguely pro-white sentiment. For whatever reason.
Very few people here are actual National Socialists. And yet you seem to think like half the board is, and that's simply and categorically not true.
It's not convoluted. Fascism is simply a category of Socialism, and Socialism is a category under Leftism. The fact that all Leftists are bad is not my fault. Rousseau is just a rampaging, delusional, lunatic, who supports state-sponsored terrorism (for freedom?) and Marx is at war with God. I can't fix that. Absolute Monarchy is bad to me, so is Islamic Theocracy. But I don't need to call people those when it doesn't follow. We're just littered with Leftists is all.
And no, I call White Nationalists National Socialists, because that's actually what they want, and how they behave. I've never called a National Socialist a Fascist because those are entirely different things. I've only seen one self-avowed Fascist on this board.
civic nationalism is leftism?
Leftism, as I said many years ago back on Reddit, is a Philosophy of War. You don't say "sieges are warfare, but ceasefires are not". A war may intentionally involve either, neither, or both for it's objective: dominating the will of another. The tactics are irrelevant, this why Leftists say "No Bad Tactics, only Bad Targets".
Nationalism comes in many forms, but the 2 most common forms: Civic and Ethnic. Leftism may use any form of Nationalism, or even reject Nationalism entirely, at will, to achieve an objective. Stalinism rejected Nationalism, until it was necessary for The Great Patriotic War. Many communist states were Isolationist because of theories about Autarky. Mussolini argued to the Communist Internationale that the Marxist philosophy had failed to come to fruition because many Socialists had rejected Nationalism; while many Socialists had been using Nationalism to foment rebellion in the European Empires as a form of anti-Colonialism.
All this is to say that Leftism comes in many flavors. Just because it's called "Rocky Road" doesn't mean it's no longer Ice Cream.
You're the one who keeps calling anyone pro-white a socialist, but then say that the issue isn't being pro-white, but the socialism. But you're the only one talking about socialism. No one else is.
I call National Socialists National Socialists because they are National Socialists. The primary group of fake "pro-whites" on the forum are National Socialists (excluding feds & Qataris pretending to be NatSocs) because they literally espouse National Socialism and National Socialist narratives and talking points. There's also the fact they hang out on ConPro with a big picture of Adolf Hitler on the banner, and repeat his National Socialist narratives of history. They're pro National Socialism and anti-Capitalism screeds are also a good indicator of their National Socialism. Hell, I can also talk to them, and have them literally repeat to me: "White Socialism has never been tried."
This very conversation is fucking spawned by an American National Socialist who made the 14 words. "But what does the American National Socialist movement have to do with National Socialism, bro?" is not a good enough excuse.
That is completely and utterly false. Read Hitler.
Not only did Hitler explicitly say that he was a Socialist and that National Socialism was Socialist. He explicitly stated that National Socialism was true Socialism, where Marxism had failed to be properly Socialist.
White people as a racial construct are not going to simply die out, that's not really a thing.
As evidenced by the fact that every race and ethnicity that ever has existed still exists, because it’s not really a thing that any of them die out or anything….
You make it seem like: dying and morphing are the same concept. Yes, the Huns no longer exist as an ethnic group, but you'd have to be an idiot to think that the Huns were exterminated to the very last man by other German tribes. No, they just morphed into other populations and were identified by a new concept.
Race, on the other hand, has two issues.
If we are using it in it's colloquial sense, it is a political construct, so it doesn't really mesh with anything outside of specific government systems.
If we are using the biological sense, then we are talking about phenotypes, and those really haven't changed in 40,000 years.
You make it seem like: dying and morphing are the same concept.
And there it is. The final dissembling that reveals your true colors. It’s okay if whites are bred out of existence because some white women will be used to birth increasingly non-white children. Just like the native Americans will live on in Elizabeth Warren.
What are you even talking about? The Huns do not exist as a separate ethnic group because over centuries they morphed into other ethnic groups. Aryans don't exist either, yet they became other ethnic groups. Celts don't technically exist when the affiliation with "Irish" and "Welsh" are more significant. But none of these populations died out.
I don't think you understand how ethnicities work. The Celts, Aryans, and Huns were not genocided, nor exterminated, nor did they "fade out". Other ethnic groups and civilizations come from them.
I used to entertain the headlines and read the comments before checking my email, but after Yahoo removed comments during the peak of TDS, my bookmark went straight to inbox.
One of the things Yahoo is best known for is how retarded the replies to questions are. It's just ironic the feature translates to the other parts of the brand.
WalMart sells a lot of stuff for 14.88. The pennies in the price are some kind of code, and they're not skipping 88. They do the ".99" thing for the psychology, but then they also use other numbers close to 100.
The 14 is just a coincidence that that's what they want to charge for a DVD.
Back in the early days of like Godwin's law, I just stopped using Nazi as a metaphor because I realized it was dumb. Lo and behold many years later, idiots start calling everything Nazi. Antifa likes to pretend they come from some German Bolsheviks, but they weren't around until recently in the US.
In 2021, Lindell offered $5 million to anyone who could win his “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” by disproving data related to his election fraud claims.
In February, a judge confirmed that Lindell had to pay $5 million to a computer forensics expert who successfully took on Lindell’s challenge.
Okay, I don't wanna give Yahoo any clicks and I'm too lazy to google, but what.
Since when are those stupid meme challenges legally enforcable contracts? (I mean, I know the real answer is, since a rightwinger was the one issuing it, but still.)
Would also be lowkey interested in what data was actually "proven", but then again, don't want to click.
1488 is not between 0 and 100. The ADL labeling everything under the sun a dog whistle does not mean dog whistles don't exist, it just means the ADL is stupid.
Good point all numbers are between 0 and 9, really makes you think.
In base-10. If we're being smarmy smarty pants up in here.
Also...just look at even the article. They explicitly break it down to 14 having meaning, and 88 having meaning. 1488 is literally a combination of 14 and 88, the meaning is not that it's one thousand, four hundred, and eighty eight.
Of course they do. It's just a term for insider jargon. A guy in this very thread was asking about my "early life" - do you think that means anything to normal people? If there's a picture of a black pharaoh and I comment "WE", the people who know, know, and the people who don't, don't.
I hate that people here will abandon truth so readily just to win a few points.
Eh can’t take anyone who says something is a dog whistle seriously. These are the same people who think it’s a dog whistle to tell a black person to be responsible for his behavior
He's using the number to troll people, but doesn't believe in it
He does believe in it and that's good actually
Pretending it's all an amazing coincidence is insulting to the intelligence of everyone involved. Being associated with Trump means the media has been slinging this against him for years, if no one on his team knows about this number than they have some kind of fucking learning disability.
Why do I have to assume anything other than it's a fucking price point. According to a Google search between all the ADL garbage is a subreddit dedicated to the fact many Wal-Mart items are priced at 14.88. Is Wal-Mart a NAZI as well?
What are those fourteen words? Curious how they never say. Because they're innocuous...and correct.
88 is the 88 precepts by the same guy as 14 words. https://davidlane1488.com/88.html
Do you have a source for that?
As far as I knew, and it seems most actual neo-Nazis seem to mean it that way, 88 is indeed Heil Hitler. Not saying it can't have other meanings, but I did think Hitler love was the primary one.
Happy to be proven wrong, as I certainly haven't delved into it deeply, and I would actually find it hilarious if 1488 being a Hitler refence was just another media smear.
No im not sure on that but it would follow suit logically from the same guy that said the 14. I suspect 88 is a coincidence.
I thought it was for some guy named Whitaker who gave an 88-word speech.
People say different stuff.
Sure. Their primary concern is that it lends legitimacy to the claim that white people will cease to exist and white children are in danger. I wouldn't agree with that if it were 1978. White people as a racial construct are not going to simply die out, that's not really a thing. However, there is rampant, systemic, anti-white discrimination at this point that endangers white kids and teaches them to hate themselves.
The saying itself is not much of a problem. All the other crazy shit before and after it is, and more specifically, the idea that the best way to protect white people is with socialism; well that's a special case of retard.
Socialism didn't protect Russia, Germany, or Britain. Imagine being fucking retarded enough to think that therefore Socialism would protect white people, when Socialism is actively destroying white people right now.
Frankly, fuck their concerns. I'm not going to for a single minute take the arguments of people who absolutely despise "whiteness" when it comes to whether or not white people should look after themselves. It's a bit of a conflict of interests, I'd say.
It's like the people who take every single instance of anything as proof that climate change is real, and they should push the agendas they already wanted to push. Or the disarmament squad, who will take any event as a sign they need to push the gun control legislation they already wanted to push.
They're not reliable or trustworthy, so frankly their concerns when it comes to white people is beyond worthless.
I mean, I would have thought so too. Until you notice what they're doing to any and every "white majority" country (and I put that in quotes because they don't call black countries "black majority," or Asian countries "Asian majority," and the whole concept is a linguistic attack itself.) It's not going to be soon, but if white people aren't allowed to have anything for themselves, and any group of predominately or exclusively white people is deemed racist...over time, yes, "white people" will absolutely die out, or at least shrivel away to nothing. and once the numbers get low enough, probably get genocided actively even nearer to extinction. You just have to look at the trends to realize that, yes, white people are being shoved out, and that will at least potentially result in eventual near extinction.
And, if white people aren't allowed to have an identity, but every other racial group is, and they're mostly trained to hate white people...yeah, whites aren't faring too well in that scenario.
Tell them that.
Awwww shit, there you go again. One of my least favorite arguments. If you care about white people, you're a socialist and a leftist. Tiresome.
No one is calling for socialism. You just use that as a smear against people you don't like, to try to score cheap points. It's a shame, too. You're obviously a smart guy, and you're good on plenty of subjects. But this is just bullshit, and it annoys me every time you, and others using the same playbook, use that tactic.
If defending white people is socialism, what should white people do? Because you seem to just lump anything pro-white in with Nazism, and Nazism in with socialism (yeah, point, but it's a tad more complicated), and then with leftism. So basically, to you, any pro-white movement is inherently leftist, and thus inherently retarded. So do white people just die out, or what?
I'm a white person who cares about white people, and thinks they're under attack. What is an acceptable attitude or response?
Just go die in the woods alone like a freedom loving rugged individual bruh
Still a more respectful answer than leftists would give, so that's something, I suppose.
It really is absurd that 'just let white people die out on their own' is a compassionate take when grading on a bell curve, where leftists are involved.
Pretty sure letting white people go off and die in the woods in freedom is far-right white supremacy nowadays. Yikes.
Funny (prompted by the thread yesterday), I've just been watching Bond. So this is very topical.
That thread is probably why it popped into my head
No, this is Progressive Nationalist doctrine. Even in the worst case you can politically imagine, stateless peoples exist regardless of political recognition. That isn't even remotely going to come to that.
No, just the opposite. If your are a Leftist or a Socialist, then I know for a fact you don't care about American Whites. The same way a Feminist doesn't care about women, or a BLM activist doesn't care about American Blacks.
Open and immediate confrontation against racialist bullshit. That's what I've done, even at work, directly to people's faces. I make it clear that under no uncertain terms I will respond to racialism with direct, open, immediate hostility and condemnation regardless of consequence. I will not tolerate it, and will not tolerate it being pushed onto my co-workers, nor any member of my team.
You don't tolerate it, you don't compromise, you set the tempo of the battle and you start it early. "But you could lose your job!" Good. Don't work for racist, Nazi, trash. If you are a good employee, then they don't deserve you, and better people should earn your labor.
And yes, that includes these fucking Black National Socialist terrorists talking about "racial equity" and "social justice".
Beyond that, take care of your neighbors, family, friends, and local community. Be the pillar of your community. If you really want to effect positive change for American Whites, then you need to check out what Booker T. Washington did for American Blacks.
Your word salad gets exhausting.
And, again, I'm not trying to be mean, I don't dislike or disrespect you. I know you're a smart guy. I just thing you're on the wrong side of this, and disingenuous on this topic as well.
Stateless people exist...but not as any sort of power. Stateless people exist...at the mercy of the State.
Again, they're after white people, in every white location. I know you know this. Over time, that will result in white people fading out. In any nonwhite location, whites are the outsiders. In any white location...well, our own governments are turning against us steadily, we have affirmative action against us, we often have all but "No Whites Allowed" signs. If the trend continues, that doesn't leave us anywhere at all pleasant.
US went from +90% white to ~60% in around a century. Many other "white majority" (again, linguistic attack on white countries, no one else is a "majority" country, they're just an Asian or black country, or whatever) followed the same trend. All power structures are against whites. There is no pro-white group with power really anywhere in the world. Almost any country that went from majority white to minority white basically genocided the white people there.
To act like it's impossible that whites get driven to utter irrelevance and put to the mercy of people who have declared their hatred of us means you're either not paying attention (which I know isn't true), or just don't want to admit it.
Again, linguistics. You accuse anyone who says they're for white people of being socialist leftists. So it doesn't matter who you say cares about white people and who doesn't, when you label anyone who says they care about white people as people who by definition can't care about white people. Nope.
He’s a civnat retard with extra steps.
There's no extra steps.
It is a shame. I do mean it when I say I think he's smart, and that I don't hate him or anything. He's good on lots of issues, I'm not just blowing smoke. But...yeah, when he's playing defense on this topic it's an absolute pain in the ass, and often first rate bullshit. It's all manipulation and linguistic trickery.
Yup.
Why don’t you hate him? He is clearly your enemy. You should despise him.
I don't hate anyone here. There are people I distrust, people I disagree with and, yes, even people who are completely against me on an issue, but what's the point in hating them? It would just make this board a less pleasant place, too.
I honestly believe something broke him 2 months ago, what that is or was I dunno, but he spurted gibberish which was removed and never answer my query about it.
I probably forgot to answer. What was the question?
What does the numbers mean? As I said there was gibberish, not coherent statement, in relation to acceleration.
None of this is a word salad, I'm being as explicitly clear as is possible.
None of this has ever been true. Even when people are within empires, power still exists without being an ethno-state. If it weren't true, Poland wouldn't exist, and we'd still be talking about the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Ethno-states are typically the exception in history. A people can have power even without the states to do so.
Actually, I just thought of a good example!
Jews.
They didn't even have a state for over a thousand years.
Again, not even in the worst case scenario, and I don't think the worst case will come to pass.
That's because the concept of "white racial solidarity" is an anathema to white people. Even the Nazis weren't Pro-White. They were Pro-German. The are only two groups that were ever really "pro-white". The British Anglos, and the Southern Scoth-Irish & Anglo former Whigs. Even then, those people used two different definitions. The British Anglos referring primarily to the Peoples of Great Britain; and the American Southerner Whigs referring to non-Blacks & non-Orientals. The Brits are, frankly, a mess because of the conflict between the old definition and the American definition; and the Americans south abandoned white racialism because it didn't do shit to help them.
Whomever told you that white people could be driven to irrelevance or vassalized forgot they landed on the moon.
No, seriously, being stateless does not mean being without power or influence in a society. "The only legitimate method for political power is a government job" is simply not understanding history, or operating off of a Leftist dialectic on power.
You're just refusing to listen. I accuse Socialists of being Socialists. Being pro-white is not even definitive of an ideology. The issue is that people assume that National Socialists have a monopoly on that claim. They don't. They are race traitors 100% of the time because they will always sacrifice their own clientele class for power.
When did I say ethno-state? Go ahead, show me.
Yeah, and, even when they were powerful, they often eventually got driven out, because they were an Other, easy to turn against.
We're already seeing it. White people are fading out demographically in white countries. White people as a group are losing power. All power structures are arrayed against whites. This is nonsense, again.
Oh, that's a good one. Play it again. Again, you just make up your own definitions and act like it's the Truth. No group that won't look after itself will fair well in the long term.
Alright. If you're going to be extremely pedantic (shocker), let me rephrase. There is no real pro-American movement. There is no pro-British movement. There is no modern pro-German movement. There is no pro-X movement in white countries. That's not on the menu.
And, again, there is no pro-Anglo movement. There is no pro-Irish movement. They're all modern bastardizations. They're small movements, that hold relatively limited power, and are still attacked for being racist.
Because, again, you're not allowed to be pro-white, pro-Anglo, pro-nation, pro-whatever, in historically white countries. That's not a thing. There is no racial/ethnic whatever movement with any power that benefits whites. And if you want to quibble on "white," you can break that down in country too. Again. No pro-white-American, no pro-white-British, no pro-white-Irish, etc. And all those would be quickly cracked down on.
Your arguments are absurd. White countries are not allowed to be pro-white, even within the contexts of their own countries. And nowadays all white countries are actively anti-white.
Uhm. Weren't we around 90% white when we did that shit?
When you have the State arrayed against you, the laws arrayed against you, and the propaganda media arrayed against you, while you're becoming a smaller and smaller percentage of the population in your own countries...that doesn't bode well. I'm not saying there's no power, I'm saying it's not a winning move, and pretending everything is fine is certainly not one.
We used to have white countries. We don't anymore. Simple.
Again, you brought up socialism. I didn't. Pro-white people here don't. You are the one who keeps calling people socialists and leftists for being pro white. It's boring.
According to this morons paradigm the Holocaust was totally really killing 6 million jews, and so the jews are a great example of why it's totally fine to be a stateless minority? Not risky at all!
White populations are not "fading out". White populations are being displaced by Mass Migration. Mass Deportations fix that. The white populations are pretty much static, except for Leftist Whites which are in decline because they keep killing themselves with nihilism and abortions.
MAGA is literally the Pro-American movement. America First is the Pro-American movement. You might not like that American isn't innately White, but that's because it's a Liberal Revolutionary country. Americans are both Civic National, and assimilatory, not exclusively White. The pro-British movements are nascent. There is an emergent Pro-Anglo (Read: Pro-English) movement, and the Pro-Irish movement was a Leftist project that is currently attempting to re-assert itself against globalism as the Irish were inevitably betrayed by Socialists.
Yes we were 90% white around that time, I'll say it again, what makes you think a group of whites can't accomplish things?
I didn't say there aren't problems facing whites, or that everything's fine. I explicitly said that it's not and that anti-white racialism should be opposed.
Yes, the fake Pro-White people here bring up National Socialism all the time, because they are National Socialists. There are hardly any pro-white people that aren't NatSocs on this board.
Again, you are explicitly refusing to listen to my responses, and substituting them with what you think I'm really saying.
Hahaha! Jews! That’s your counter example? Putting aside all the baggage on particular group, let’s just take their own history at face value: they got driven out of country after country after country through no fault of their own until most recently they got holocausted. Luckily, many of them escaped or were living elsewhere, and they got enough sympathy and influence in other countries that they were able to build their own state, so their position is a bit more secure now even though they have lots of people that hate them still.
Is that about right? Is that something you’d agree to, as a broad strokes sort of summary?
Great! Now, imagine a much much more globalized world, where the Jews get driven out of a nation or targeted for a holocaust, but no one takes them in because the same exact ideology has taken over (or at least exerts massive pressure on) all the other countries they might also live in or flee to. Instead of it being “Spain expels the Jews” in 1492 or whatever, it’s “every country in Europe expels the Jews all at once, and actually maybe instead of making them leave they formally round them up and kill them.”
How’s that work out for the Jews?
And yet, the jews still exist, correct? The jews haven't had a homeland for over 2,000 years, and despite not having a political state they still have their own communities, traditions, culture, and even language. In fact, the largest population of jews on Earth, to this day, remains in the US, where they have never had a state, and have never had a majority of the population, and were never institutionalized.
And yet there they are, largely in peaceful and prosperous communities in the US.
You think given the worst possible case scenario for whites, which is still not even remotely likely, they couldn't preform at least just as well as the jews. Last time I checked, even the Boers and Rhodesians are still holding together under terrible conditions.
This is some of your most egregiously homosexual pedantry.
It's not pedantry, read Hitler.
In fact, read Himmler.
Aryanism is not White Solidarity. Otherwise, they wouldn't be seeing the Slavs as a sub-human species. National Socialism was for Germans, not "Whites".
Hell, just take a look at the shit the Azov Battallion has been saying for 20 years. They're avid Hitler fans and reject the Rus as Orientaloids.
The people who like to call people NAZI and the people who wish to be NAZI are similar in neither group actually know about NAZIs politically speaking.
Fascism is the practical application of Socialism.
National Socialism is the practical application of Race Communism.
The more the Leftist tries to make his ideals work, the more he becomes a Fascist or a National Socialist. This is because if he tries to hold to his raw principles (like Bolshevism or Anarcho-Communism) the either dies or immediately kills the guy standing next to him. His ideology is so blood-thirsty and psychotic that it can only work when he off-loads his blood-thirsty psychosis to the state to manage for him. Hence, why it is practical.
I'm not a fascist myself (actually a bit of a lolbertarian, insert laughter here), but that's a massive oversimplification. You people love to say fascism is socialism is leftism, to try to discredit people you call Nazis. Ironically, a leftist tactic itself. Your argument is literally the leftist argument of calling anyone a Nazi, but you just extrapolate to then say that all Nazis are leftists, because that's a more damaging attack to the targets you use it on.
I could go into detail how fascism isn't (always) socialism or leftism, but that isn't really the point. I started to, but then deleted it. Point is, your argument amounts to calling people you disagree with leftists, while passing through Nazism first, as mentioned above. It doesn't really matter if fascism is socialism or not; it's a disingenuous attack, unless used against people who explicitly wear the Nazi label. And even then, you have to back it up a bit, or you're just calling people leftists, just like the left calls everyone Nazis.
Being pro-white does not mean you're a Nazi, and being Nazi does not mean you're a leftist.
Being pro-white, as a white person, is good. That has nothing to do with Nazism, socialism, or leftism.
I'm white. I like white people. More importantly, I stand by the right to say that, from a freedom perspective. I'm not a Nazi. I'm not a socialist. I'm not a leftist. I am pro-white, though.
Fascism is Socialism explicitly, by it's own terminology. It just happens to be a very specific variant of Socialism which can be summarized to: Italian State Syndicalism.
Fascism is Socialism. There is no mechanism which allows it to not be Socialism. It literally can't be anything else. You can claim that "calling people you disagree with leftists" is simply not part of it. I disagree with Monarchism, but I've never called a Monarchist a Leftist, because Monarchism is not part of Leftism. Fascism is Leftism because it is Leftism. Disagreeing with me is irrelevant. Communism, Socialism, Fabian Socialism, Democratic Socialism, Social Democracy, Progressivism, Fascism, National Socialism, Anarcho-Syndicalism, Titoism, Maoism, Marxism, Marxist-Leninism, are all Leftist ideologies due to them ideologically stemming from Rousseau.
Furthermore, I'm not going to call National Socialists Fascists, because Fascism and National Socialism are distinct enough to be clearly separate ideologies. No aspect of Fascism is intertwined with Aryanism. In fact, Fascism is structured as a kind of Civic Nationalism, which is why Mussolini never targeted jews as a bourgouis race, at until the National Socialists controlled what was left of government.
Being pro-white does not mean your a NatSoc. Being a NatSoc makes you unequivocally a Leftist.
The problem with American National Socialism is that it frames itself as the sole legitimate defenders of white people. The same way every Leftist ideology claims authority over it's asserted protected group. Like all other Leftist ideologies, they are liars who are guaranteed to harm that protected group more than anyone else.
Yes, I get that you're saying fascism is socialism, but socialism isn't necessarily fascism...but still. I still think the whole thing is a bit convoluted just to call people you disagree with Bad.
The people you keep calling fascists/socialists/leftists are people you're accusing of being national socialists. You continually call people Nazis, and then call them fascists and leftists.
You're pouring out a lot of Evocative and Capitalized words to try to send a message, but it's not consistent.
But...fascism is leftist is socialism, as you've said. So...civic nationalism is leftism? But ethnic nationalism is fascism/Nazism, which is also leftism?
You never answered how you can be pro-white without being a leftist according to you, and this just deepens the question. Can you even be a plain old nationalist without being a leftist, in your eyes?
If I can't advocate for my own people without being a leftist socialist...is there a way I can at least advocate for my nation without being a leftist socialist, or...? Again, do we just lay down and die, else be labeled leftists?
Ahhhh. Clever. Ish.
You did it again. You flipped them. You're the one who keeps calling anyone pro-white a socialist, but then say that the issue isn't being pro-white, but the socialism. But you're the only one talking about socialism. No one else is. You're reading that into any vaguely pro-white sentiment. For whatever reason.
Very few people here are actual National Socialists. And yet you seem to think like half the board is, and that's simply and categorically not true.
It's not convoluted. Fascism is simply a category of Socialism, and Socialism is a category under Leftism. The fact that all Leftists are bad is not my fault. Rousseau is just a rampaging, delusional, lunatic, who supports state-sponsored terrorism (for freedom?) and Marx is at war with God. I can't fix that. Absolute Monarchy is bad to me, so is Islamic Theocracy. But I don't need to call people those when it doesn't follow. We're just littered with Leftists is all.
And no, I call White Nationalists National Socialists, because that's actually what they want, and how they behave. I've never called a National Socialist a Fascist because those are entirely different things. I've only seen one self-avowed Fascist on this board.
Leftism, as I said many years ago back on Reddit, is a Philosophy of War. You don't say "sieges are warfare, but ceasefires are not". A war may intentionally involve either, neither, or both for it's objective: dominating the will of another. The tactics are irrelevant, this why Leftists say "No Bad Tactics, only Bad Targets".
Nationalism comes in many forms, but the 2 most common forms: Civic and Ethnic. Leftism may use any form of Nationalism, or even reject Nationalism entirely, at will, to achieve an objective. Stalinism rejected Nationalism, until it was necessary for The Great Patriotic War. Many communist states were Isolationist because of theories about Autarky. Mussolini argued to the Communist Internationale that the Marxist philosophy had failed to come to fruition because many Socialists had rejected Nationalism; while many Socialists had been using Nationalism to foment rebellion in the European Empires as a form of anti-Colonialism.
All this is to say that Leftism comes in many flavors. Just because it's called "Rocky Road" doesn't mean it's no longer Ice Cream.
I call National Socialists National Socialists because they are National Socialists. The primary group of fake "pro-whites" on the forum are National Socialists (excluding feds & Qataris pretending to be NatSocs) because they literally espouse National Socialism and National Socialist narratives and talking points. There's also the fact they hang out on ConPro with a big picture of Adolf Hitler on the banner, and repeat his National Socialist narratives of history. They're pro National Socialism and anti-Capitalism screeds are also a good indicator of their National Socialism. Hell, I can also talk to them, and have them literally repeat to me: "White Socialism has never been tried."
This very conversation is fucking spawned by an American National Socialist who made the 14 words. "But what does the American National Socialist movement have to do with National Socialism, bro?" is not a good enough excuse.
That is completely and utterly false. Read Hitler.
Not only did Hitler explicitly say that he was a Socialist and that National Socialism was Socialist. He explicitly stated that National Socialism was true Socialism, where Marxism had failed to be properly Socialist.
As evidenced by the fact that every race and ethnicity that ever has existed still exists, because it’s not really a thing that any of them die out or anything….
You make it seem like: dying and morphing are the same concept. Yes, the Huns no longer exist as an ethnic group, but you'd have to be an idiot to think that the Huns were exterminated to the very last man by other German tribes. No, they just morphed into other populations and were identified by a new concept.
Race, on the other hand, has two issues.
If we are using it in it's colloquial sense, it is a political construct, so it doesn't really mesh with anything outside of specific government systems.
If we are using the biological sense, then we are talking about phenotypes, and those really haven't changed in 40,000 years.
And there it is. The final dissembling that reveals your true colors. It’s okay if whites are bred out of existence because some white women will be used to birth increasingly non-white children. Just like the native Americans will live on in Elizabeth Warren.
Fuck you.
He is an actual demon.
What are you even talking about? The Huns do not exist as a separate ethnic group because over centuries they morphed into other ethnic groups. Aryans don't exist either, yet they became other ethnic groups. Celts don't technically exist when the affiliation with "Irish" and "Welsh" are more significant. But none of these populations died out.
I don't think you understand how ethnicities work. The Celts, Aryans, and Huns were not genocided, nor exterminated, nor did they "fade out". Other ethnic groups and civilizations come from them.
Yahoo News is such garbage. I know it’s an aggregator but 95% of the articles are left wing, racial, lgbt, or feminist crap
I used to entertain the headlines and read the comments before checking my email, but after Yahoo removed comments during the peak of TDS, my bookmark went straight to inbox.
Now comments are heavily censored.
They brought back comments but I remember when they got rid of them probably due to all the pushback their biased articles got
One of the things Yahoo is best known for is how retarded the replies to questions are. It's just ironic the feature translates to the other parts of the brand.
Yes, I often feel like that Principal Skinner meme because the news articles seem so out of touch with my sensibilities.
One of my favorite Skinner lines along with the one about trying to find the soup he ate as a POW
What a rascal.
With only four factories, there's no way he could produce six million in five years...
Wal-Mart sold lots of DVDs last year for the same price.
A whole storage bin of them for 14 dollars and 88 cents each.
Fuck off.
WalMart sells a lot of stuff for 14.88. The pennies in the price are some kind of code, and they're not skipping 88. They do the ".99" thing for the psychology, but then they also use other numbers close to 100.
The 14 is just a coincidence that that's what they want to charge for a DVD.
You're probably right about the code--I recently learned Home Depot uses the cents for a similar code.
Not just that, some percentage sales prices sometimes break down to $14.88 too.
I know some Steam games got in trouble for something being like 17% or 36% or whatever off, and coming out to $14.88
I remember him making the morning tv rounds and being liked by the media for his whole reformed life. But since he stumped for Trump now he is a NAZI.
Back in the early days of like Godwin's law, I just stopped using Nazi as a metaphor because I realized it was dumb. Lo and behold many years later, idiots start calling everything Nazi. Antifa likes to pretend they come from some German Bolsheviks, but they weren't around until recently in the US.
Mike Godwin himself fell afoul of his own "law" by calling the Trump comparisons totally valid.
What a dumbass.
Who fucking cares?
I don't remember when exactly I was last inside a walmart, but I do remember x.88 was a very popular price on stuff that was on sale.
I was just posting this, but yes confirm that WalMart sells a lot of stuff for 14.88.
Okay, I don't wanna give Yahoo any clicks and I'm too lazy to google, but what. Since when are those stupid meme challenges legally enforcable contracts? (I mean, I know the real answer is, since a rightwinger was the one issuing it, but still.)
Would also be lowkey interested in what data was actually "proven", but then again, don't want to click.
Yup, that's it. You figured it out. Good job, journalist.
Is this like the time mainstream outlet Business Insider said CPAC was using a stage shaped like a NORDIC RUNE?
Based
The tweet is real. Archive: https://archive.is/cdd8T
In the video on the store page he says the price as 14.98, although the page shows the 14.88 price: https://www.mypillow.com/r277
And yes, that is a nazi dog whistle. Let's not embarrass ourselves by pretending it's a coincidence.
60% of the numbers between 0 and 100 are "racist dogwhistles." Be careful, you might accidentally use one.
1488 is not between 0 and 100. The ADL labeling everything under the sun a dog whistle does not mean dog whistles don't exist, it just means the ADL is stupid.
14 is between 0 and 100.
88 is between 0 and 100.
Don't embarrass yourself by being a dumb-ass.
Good point all numbers are between 0 and 9, really makes you think.
In base-10. If we're being smarmy smarty pants up in here.
Also...just look at even the article. They explicitly break it down to 14 having meaning, and 88 having meaning. 1488 is literally a combination of 14 and 88, the meaning is not that it's one thousand, four hundred, and eighty eight.
Try harder.
Dog whistles don't exist. It's a concept invented by leftists to accuse people of imaginary speech crimes for things they didn't actually say.
Fuck off with your crybaby bullshit.
Of course they do. It's just a term for insider jargon. A guy in this very thread was asking about my "early life" - do you think that means anything to normal people? If there's a picture of a black pharaoh and I comment "WE", the people who know, know, and the people who don't, don't.
I hate that people here will abandon truth so readily just to win a few points.
Eh can’t take anyone who says something is a dog whistle seriously. These are the same people who think it’s a dog whistle to tell a black person to be responsible for his behavior
The phrase dog whistle is itself a dog whistle. I've never known anyone who used it who wasn't an insufferable anti-white asshole.
What do you want to call it then? No matter what label you use, it will be the same thing.
Don’t think he is a Nazi
MUH DAWG WISSELS
There's nothing about him to indicate he is a white identitarian, much less a white supremacist.
Here are the possible defenses:
Pretending it's all an amazing coincidence is insulting to the intelligence of everyone involved. Being associated with Trump means the media has been slinging this against him for years, if no one on his team knows about this number than they have some kind of fucking learning disability.
Why do I have to assume anything other than it's a fucking price point. According to a Google search between all the ADL garbage is a subreddit dedicated to the fact many Wal-Mart items are priced at 14.88. Is Wal-Mart a NAZI as well?
Quite the opposite, the Waltons are big fans of open borders and cheap migrant labor.
What’s your early history friend?
Alternately, he's just an out of touch boomer who doesn't know, and doesn't give a shit/wouldn't believe you if you explained it.
Probably got the idea from the Walmart example above.
Gaaaaayyyy
