  • 88 can absolutely be a fascist dog whistle. (It may or may not be here, hard to tell.)

    Here’s the explanation of they dog whistle: the phrase “Heil Hitler” becomes just the pair of letters “HH”, which then becomes “88” since H is the 8th letter of the alphabet.

    88 by itself is kind of rare, you’ll usually see it paired with 14, most often as 1488. The number 14 is a reference to the 14 words which is a fascist saying that I can never remember but can always recognize. To paraphrase, it’s something about securing the future for white children. It’s pretty easy to find if you just search “14 words”
