The capital letters imply "1488" and the post is 14 words long, both of which are well-known nazi dog whistles.

I would say this is a stretch but that's exactly the crowd that loves all *their symbolism bullshit.

Also, that painting accurately depicts the fear of the natives and wildlife at seeing the colonizers.

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 weeks ago

THis painting was created not to highlight the brutality of colonialism but to celebrate it.

My guess, it's legit, but part of the reason is to distract from something else (namely, Epstein). You can't prove anything and it just makes you sound paranoid, and then they can use that as ammunition to ignore the Epstein claims.

  • 14 words in the post, an allusion to a notorious Nazi formula
  • 1884, birth year of Anton Drexler, a far-right politician who founded what later became the Nazi Party
  • 1488 and 88, notorious Hitler-related numerology
  • Painting showing Manifest Destiny and a bunch of other white people chasing Native Americans into darkness

I think we can safely conclude that Homeland Security are deliberately sending Nazi dogwhistles on their social media.

1884, birth year of Anton Drexler, a far-right politician who founded what later became the Nazi Party

Oh, I didn't know that one. Thanks for new info.

Turns out everyone going back in time to kill baby Hitler didn't achieve much

[–] Afflictedlife@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 weeks ago

The entire platform is run by and for a specific nazi so....

that is the part that i think Americans are not seeing.

that ~~they~~ we will all be called NAZIs if we don't destroy the NAZIs

if the USA waits for another country to do it then all of us will be complicit

[–] toomanypancakes@piefed.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't see that there's any way to avoid that at this point. It seems everybody with any power is on the Nazi side. We're a Nazi nation, and the world would be justified to treat us as such. The US is a vile country I'm ashamed to be a part of and have no method to leave.

Join a socialist party like PSL!

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 weeks ago

Entirely unsurprising.

[–] etherphon@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago

The only people with any heritage here are the natives which we decimated.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

That explanation is a huge stretch to put it mildly, but yeah, the entire US government has been replaced with Nazi puppets so at this point who knows

[–] IttihadChe@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

We literally inspired the Nazis with the native genocide and Jim Crow and our corporations worked with them.

People need to accept this isn't a recent phenomenon, but what America is at its core.

[–] appropriateghost@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

I encourage everyone to research on IBM's business dealings with Nazi Germany.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Uh huh, it's still stretching like there is no tomorrow with the capitalization, it's a wee bit too conspiratorial and not needed, there are way more bigger pieces of evidence that the US government is becoming authoritarian

[–] Sandouq_Dyatha@lemmy.ml 9 points 2 weeks ago

"replaced"
They're literally have always been nazis dawg

[–] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The D at the end throws some doubt in it but the capitalized letters are AHHD aka 1884

[–] aeischeid@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

gross, but thanks for sharing

[–] YellaLeber@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 weeks ago

This is qanon levels of reaching, you look for a pattern you're gonna find it

[–] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

This isn't news to anyone, is it? If you put Nazis in power you're gonna have Nazis running things. Seems pretty obvious

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

The only change with Trump is they’re comfortable being open about it. It’s been a Nazi organization since its founding.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What about the capitalized Defending?

[–] vga@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

I mean this is closing towards Black Dynamite kind of logic, but ... A = 1, H = 8, H = 8, D = 4. Rearrange and it's 1488. Alone this would be silly, but together with the 14 words and that picture, it's a dog whistle.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ohhh my mind immediately jumped up HH and missed the 1488 thing.

Yeah that's no coincidence

[–] nondescripthandle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

88 is also common shorthand for nazis for the phrase 'heil hitler'. Theres narry a shadow of doubt in my mind everything here is intentional just as you assume it to be.

Its also a lucky number in Chinese I think in part due to its symetry. It's important to know the context each example comes from, but in this context it's certainly exactly what you think it is.

Time to start encoding things with 8688 :wao:

[–] Xande@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Wait for it and in some time the US will be like back in 1865... just like after the civil war. But this Time I think the religious fascist morons are better equipped with weapons and will win!

[–] ThirdConsul@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yes. And NASA spelled something (forgot the details) is SATAN according to Youtube Shorts.
