Looks like someone who needs some break lights replacing, maybe two tires as well.

Neo nazis = cringe
I wonder how Thomas Kia feels about the shout out.
Well his number is right there, someone can give him a call...
So I grew up in Canada, on the west coast, basically Vancouver. So I'm well aware of the dog-whistles. I now live in Scotland. There was an event where I work recently, and the event contractors were 88 Events. And immediately I was like: FUCKIN NAZIS!
My wife seems to think that they're too...idk...girly? to be nazis, but where the fuck did 88 come from, they started up in 97, so couldn't be that. I feel like I'm being fuckin paranoid, but the fascy bastards are coming out the woodworks lately...shrugs
There are two people I know who have racist relatives on FB. Their profile names are
MOI NI GARR
'sambo' jones
apparently you can be racist as fuck with your username on that cess pool.
what is it with white supremacists man... brain worms
That's not a bug, it's a feature. Meta knows that things like white nationalism drives engagement, so they don't do anything about it.
Facebook (Fuck them, I'm not calling it Meta, its stupid) does do something, though.
It actively encourages it, because right wing extremists are a big chunk of their revenue. Since right wing extremists are more engaged (obsessed) than anyone else, and click more ads than anyone else.
Right wing extremists are the honey pot.
Which is why regular people can get banned for the most ridiculous of shit, yet right wing racists doesnt get banned even when posting terrorist threats, death threats, or racial slurs.
and honestly, its not just facebook. Its all social media.
88 stands for HH, which means Heil Hitler.
"I hate Illinois Nazis."
Illinoizis
It just occurred to me how absolutely accurate it is that the cops are holding the line defending the small number of Nazis from the counter-protestors. They also have that cop who hates the Nazis just like everyone else, but he's still doing his job keeping everyone back, which is also pretty accurate.
In a Korean car too which is funny.
What does the BODG stand for?
It says BOOG, as in boogaloo, as in Civil War 2: Electric Boogaloo
You’ve got to be kidding? They’re appropriating Electric Boogaloo (a film about break dancing and the black community) as their slogan? That is wrong on so many levels.
Not only that, according to the wikipedia article OP linked:
"The boogaloo movement has created logos and other imagery incorporating [igloo] snow huts and Hawaiian prints based on these derivations."
If white supremacy was so "supreme", why are these morons using Indigenous-based iconography for their movement I wonder. They'll claim it's to "fly under the radar", but that just makes them look even more smooth brained.
Wait what the fuck I wear Hawaiian print shirts all the time, have I been looking like a fascist and not known it?
Naaah dude, don't let them claim Hawaiian shirts, keep wearing them and being radical
You can tell who's a Nazi cause their Hawaiian shirts have guns on them. Mine shirts have flowers and boats and stuff.
A few years ago Republicans were also dancing to System of a Down's Killing in the Name Of song as if it was pro-them.
Never underestimate the amount of stupid and innapropriate conservatives are capable of.
"Killing in the Name" is by Rage Against the Machine, but the point stands
Woops, apologies XD thank you for the rectification
Ronald Reagan used Springsteen's "Born in the USA" like it was a patriotic song
I’m sitting behind a California plate that reads “88 RISE”. Is that…?
88 is heil hitler
The disambiguation page for Boogaloo is now a bunch of awesome shit like music and dance styles plus an extremist movement...
Fuck you, choose a different name for your whack ass antics.
These idiots are the most adolescent childish racists ever.
This is the equivalent of a 10th grader typing 80085 into the school calculator!
Except walking around with a calculator that says 80085 isn't telling several parts of the population that you want them dead and aren't afraid to say it
I mean I did preface by calling them idiots!
Don't underestimate fascists. Bigotry is pretty ignorant, but these people do what they do for a reason. Dog whistles allow them to find each other, but claim plausible deniability about their affiliation.
Like every single person you encounter who insists on writing "friends" as "frens" will tell you that they are just being cutesy, but everyone in-the-know understands that it means "Far Right EthnoNationalist". Bring that up, they they throw their hands up and act like you're crazy. If you're one of them, you've found your people. If you're not, they will gaslight you while insisting that you're just looking for reasons to be offended.
People will use 14/88, "kek", "OK" hand signs, and other little things that you can just write off as innocuous without much push back, but it's all just a way of networking with each other. "Virtue Signalling" as they call it.
Or you could just skip the unnecessary ablesim, my point is perfectly clear and accurate as-is.
Where's the ablesim?
Calling someone who is stupid stupid isn't ableism stupid people deserve to be insulted they make a choice of being stupid.
There's a difference between stupid and unintelligent. Unintelligent is just a limit on one's intelligence but a stupid person is a stupid person by choice
