    Ah, yes… the perfect example of “Everything I don’t like is Hitler” and “If you type 666 you’ll become Satan!”.

    If the error was a randomly issued plate, the state should automatically reissue. I mean, no one is getting FCKPLC randomly. Either way, this plate and ref must be blacklisted.

      To be fair, usually they have a schema of, say, LNL-NLN or LLLLNN or something similar where Ls are letters and Ns are numbers. Every non-vanity (or special, like gov’t, dealer, temp…) plate will follow the schema, so I doubt there’s a chance FCKPLC could show up.

      The other unfortunate thing with dog whistles is, they’re designed to be easily looked over, subtle enough to be plausible. Without other evidence this guy is a Nazi, the only right thing to do is to let them be. The consequences of taking action against an innocent person far outweigh the benefits of acting against a single Nazi.

      The presence of a dog whistle itself can’t be a reason to attack someone (metaphorically, hopefully. Don’t do random acts of violence against individuals period. There are better ways to get results.) but it is definitely enough to make one cautious and observant.

    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

          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.

      maybe they need to repaint their car because keys were somehow pressed and dragged against it.

      maybe some pigeon broke some windows idk, those damn animals.

      maybe the oil plug has came a bit loose and he loses the engine a bit ahead…

      nazis justify more creativity.

        I’m not sure if you are asking me if I’m being sarcastic or if you’re confused if you want to be sarcastic? Are you implying sarcastically that Kia’s are better than American brands like Ford/Chevrolet/GM?

            I gotcha I just don’t like Hyundai and Kia but the majority of other foreign brands usually are pretty well built

              I’m driving a Kia Forte made in Mexico, same as my old Chevy Cavalier was, so it’s barely even foreign fwiw. It’s an okay car, hope it stays that way for a few more years.

                Keep er under warranty and soon as it’s out, trade it in for another under warranty. Obviously that’s just my take on them though…at the end of the day, a car is better than no car and I can get jiggy with that friend!

      That’s what I thought this was referring to at first. Interesting that Mr. “Centrist” has an 88 in his handle.

        I wouldn’t read too much into his YouTube handle. He’s a chode but I don’t think he’s a nazi simp. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was auto-generated.

      Back in the reddit days I was pretty active on the Back to the Future subreddits, and one day an excited young man posted his new BTTF tattoo; a big colorful depiction of the 88 from the time machine’s famous digital speedometer, glowing orange numbers on a black background, in a very visible spot on his arm.

      I sent him a DM to the effect of “I get what you’re doing as a BTTF fan, but you should be aware that if you’re not a white supremacist there’s a good chance that tattoo can be gravely misinterpreted by people who see it out in the world” and linked this page on the number’s use as a hate symbol. He replied with an “OMG, I had no idea! Thanks for telling me!” message, deleted the tattoo post, and soon afterward deleted his whole reddit presence. I sometimes still wonder about that guy and how he’s managed.

        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.

                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.
