    Fucking fascists and their number obsessions. I don't get it.

    Edit: before anyone replies, I do know what the numbers mean. I mean the obsession of using them to display their facism.

    They used to have a need to speak in codes and hide their beliefs under fear of death. We need to go back to that time.

      14/88 is a hate symbol used by Nazis:

      Please don’t link to the ADL. They are a sham organization that openly supports genocide.

        I’m not clear from the tweet that the ads are Reddit-generated ads, it seems like someone is posting a photo of the newspaper ad insert.

        This isn't the ad this is a different user who posted about this ad in their newspaper.

        Their weekly ad was just posted today.

          "A local subreddit runs advertisements" implied to me that it was either an individual user posting it or the subreddit mods themselves. Otherwise, specifying that the ads were run in that specific sub seemed unnecessary. Could be wrong, but the OP itself doesn't seem like a Reddit ad either (single image rather than a webpage or something)

          This image is just somebody on the subreddit pointing out the 1488 reference.

          The weekly ads posted to the sub are by a different "user", but I do find it odd that the post asking about the 1488 flyer seems to be permadownvoted, and got brigaded by people claiming the OP was insane for even asking about it. I believe one person claimed OP was "schizophrenic."

          Bc during a time when there's a guy with a swastika tattoo in the white house, you would clearly have to be "insane" to question if a Jan 6er might feel emboldened enough to run a local ad that served as a dog whistle.

            It's pseudo-intellectualism. It makes them feel smart and special.

              Not a dog whistle

              this is walking outside and yelling for your dog that’s snarling at the little brown kids

                Their ideology is embedded in the numbers. It’s also how African American gangs communicate concepts.

                So much of American internet culture is rooted in imperialist lore and Nazi beliefs, like the Pepe frog, KEK, and the monkey NFTs

                  $14.88 is a very suspicious price for meat and a 'crazy 88 cent sale' is basically confirmation.

                  If it isn't ibtentional then someone setting prices needs to learn how to avoid dogwhistles. But I'm just going to assume the worst because it usually is.

                  Don't forget the $1.48 items. They couldn't be more overt without throwing a swastica or Emu's RoMaN sAlUtE

                    That and H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 means HH which means heil hitler.

                    No seriously, it is that dumb.

                      Symbology, magic, supernatural. Looking at crosses, swastikas, an (unopened) book that says “Bible” on the front. Stickers on trucks, flags everywhere, songs they play at rallies when they never actually understand what the lyrics mean.

                      More proof that they’re all about feels, what a symbol elicits for them, without having to engage in thought. Symbols distill that feel into something compact and thoughtless. Even if it’s just a few numbers. Don’t think. Conform.

                        My local Costco prices everything at 88 cents because it's in a heavily Chinese neighborhood and the number 8 is considered lucky to them.

                        It's not always a dog whistle. But in this particular case it might be. 🤷🏼‍♂️
