My randomly assigned 4 digit discriminator on Discord back when I joined was "1488". Didn't know it was a Nazi calling card until one of the members in the community I was participating in tried to get me banned over it.
Fortunately it only took a month or so with Discord support to get them to change it. I contemplated buying nitro so people wouldn't think I was a nazi lol.
I know that's not the definition being referred to, but it being called a discriminator is tragically hilarious in this case 😁
I go by Klear these days, but originally picked King Klear as a nick, since I liked Shakespeare and Serious Sam. Obviously.
Anyway, there's someone out there taking my name on certain sites, so I use KKlear as a backup. I'm always joking that I don't know what I'd do if KKlear was taken as well...
In my country we have a chain of stores owned by the K-group, the K comes from 'Kesko'. The used to have small, medium and large stores. The small ones were one K stores, mediums were two K stores and the large ones were three K stores. I shit you not, there used to be huge lighted signs outside the large ones that read 'KKK-Supermarket'. You can find pictures of these on the internet still.
8888?
I wouldn't worry about it. Only those most obsessed with hitler would care or notce. Hell, drinking milk now is white supremacy, and I like having strong bones.
You get a lot more wary of that sort of stuff if you are the kind of person who white supremacists like to harass. I think 88 by itself is probably not too suspicious, but if anyone has 1488 you are dealing with a real piece of shit.
Unless you really care about the Netherlands Navy, and the year it was founded. Its just a number bro, and its not even 69.
I literally gave you context but good for you that you don't need to think about these things. Not everyone can feel so safe and comfortable when extremist symbols start to pop up. It is "just a number" and "just a symbol" and "just a joke" until you are surrounded by extremists calling for the heads of those who they hate.
Man you're paranoid as hell. Maybe you're right, and Ill regret these words, but I sleep soundly without worrying about Nazis. My biggest worry is my town not getting road construction done in a timely manner. Lot less stress.

This comes across as privileged, not insightful

@Blamemeta @TwilightVulpine when the nazis roll into your town on your newly constructred roads you'll wish you worried
Its not 1939 man. Nazis are not an immediate threat, its pretty priveledged to worry about Nazis. What, are you also worried about Confederate ghosts? The Hunley sinking your yacht?
@Blamemeta It's pretty privileged to NOT worry about Nazis. In your understanding, what do you think a Nazi is?
I would argue that it's incredibly privileged to worry about Nazis. Literally any immediate problem (EQ: Roadwork that never ends) matters more. It's almost like worrying about the fall of the Roman empire, there's things to actually worry about, and you're wasting time and energy on that? If you're that bored, try getting a hobby, or maybe finding a girlfriend. Something, anything, because guess what? This isn't 1944, it's 2023, and we are so far removed from Nazis that it's more indicative of an extremely bored mind than anything else.
@Blamemeta Would you say the same to people in 1932, before Hitler was elected?
Maybe. Lots of things had to happen before the Nazis went full Nazi, but there were some warning signs. Lots of Jew hate, talk about the "Jewish problem" (their words, not mine) and they were an actual German party at the time. Hard to tell with an alternate reality.
Like they say, is it paranoia if they are really going after you? We aren't at a point this is speculative anymore. I have seen people parading in nazi paraphernalia. Just this week in my country a teacher got assaulted and threatened at gunpoint by a cop for reprimanding his son for doing a nazi salute.
I'm a bisexual man. I see how hate movements have successfully codified their persecution of trans people into law in many places around the world, and how they are already moving to attack gay people, women and people of color.
There's no escaping the stress if this sort of stuff ends up affecting me and the people I care about. The stress might be the least of the problems.
Frankly I don't know how you can exist on the internet and remain entirely oblivious to how hate movements have gained momentum lately. It's not a question of whether it's going to happen, just seems like you are lucky not to get affected by it.
