Fucking fascists and their number obsessions. I don't get it.
Edit: before anyone replies, I do know what the numbers mean. I mean the obsession of using them to display their facism.
They used to have a need to speak in codes and hide their beliefs under fear of death. We need to go back to that time.
Isn't it like a dog whistle? It can only be understood by those that know. Of course that's not the case anymore but I wouldn't have known until it was pointed out to me some time ago. And it's not just numbers either.
Symbology, magic, supernatural. Looking at crosses, swastikas, an (unopened) book that says “Bible” on the front. Stickers on trucks, flags everywhere, songs they play at rallies when they never actually understand what the lyrics mean.
More proof that they’re all about feels, what a symbol elicits for them, without having to engage in thought. Symbols distill that feel into something compact and thoughtless. Even if it’s just a few numbers. Don’t think. Conform.
Their ideology is embedded in the numbers. It’s also how African American gangs communicate concepts.
So much of American internet culture is rooted in imperialist lore and Nazi beliefs, like the Pepe frog, KEK, and the monkey NFTs
It's pseudo-intellectualism. It makes them feel smart and special.
