For explanation: Boogaloo movement, "Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.[12] "
The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois,[3] is a loosely organized far-right anti-government extremist movement in the United States.[4][5][6][7][8][9] It has also been described as a militia.[10][11][12] Adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War or second American Revolution which they call "the boogaloo" or "the boog".[13][14]
I remember when they celebrated January 6th, only to claim it was a false flag once it became clear how much it failed.
They're equal parts scary and pathetic, incompetent while still earnestly pushing fascism.
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do, so it doesn't matter if many of them are dead weight otherwise.
They will kill minorities and laugh while doing it.
Don't let their comically stupid reasoning and detachment from reality fool you.
They're dangerous and cannot be taken lightly.
Unfortunately for us, they have the same vote we do
gosh i wish that were more true. given the equal representation of states in the senate, and the subsequent higher weighting of low-population states in the electoral college, the vote of a californian is worth a lot less than the vote of a wyomingian. and someone in washington D.C. has even less say. it's a pretty fucked up pseudo-democracy, tbh.
Fair point. It was predictable that things would end up that way given the system's design. Equally powerful votes is the best practically, but even that's imperfect. Elections can be life or death for some, but not matter as much for others. American elections matter more for people in other countries than for many American citizens. That's the inequality I was talking about, but you're correct. It isn't the only one.
All the screenshots are of crazies. I think in that one, the people who posted the polls were Jewish right wingers and didn't expect their fans to be Nazis. They accidentally proved the point they tried to disprove. Not 100% sure tho
Thanks. From my perspective, commonly Chinese numberplate have 8s in them being lucky. And being Australian I thought that numberplate read BODG as in bodgy meaning of poor quality.
Anyway, depressing that the numberplate was not fun or positive at all.

I had the same initial reading, but upon a second closer look it's two O's so definitely depressing and not fun at all. :(

I don’t know how I missed BOOG as boogaloo boy considering there are some active boogs in my area. Granted, I usually spot them based on apparel around political events and protests.
Good catch.
Thanks, I was confused af what it had to do with anything. I'll add it to the red flag list in my brain.
They shouldn't do anything like that, or slash their tires, or put a brick through their windshield.
I don’t see a specific place to report an offensive plate, but I did send an email to the Indiana BMV. They review personalized plates and reject some, so this must have slipped past their radar.

My nickname among some old friends is actually "The Boog". Finding out these assholes have corrupted it angers me so much.
As a Gavin who only had singers and comedians to represent the name, the existence of that proud boy asshole definitely gave me similar feelings.
...sending "Love and kisses" (88)
(One of Western Union 92 codes still used by ham radio operators)
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.
