You could just take it off them. Dilute the pool of numbers. Now the racists won’t know if they’re talking to a bigoted saddo racist like them or a sick anarchist who is ready to smash the fasch
Nazis have been appropriating numbers like 88 to dogwhistle to their followers “Hey, I’m making a public apology for my stockholders, but fingers crossed for stringing up all the minorities once we have our guys in the Supreme Court, winkwink nudgenudge.” Don’t play dumb.
Just say ACAB. Numbers as code look like racist dog whistling.
I’ve thought about it and there’s something to it. There’s really no reason to be cryptic or vague about ACAB. Next time, I’ll write it out.
fuck that. numbers are cool. we got 69, 420, 1312, 1312a, 8647, 58008, 5318008, e, we got all kinds of cool numbers
What’s
1312a?also 1312
Googled it because I didn’t know either, and 1312 is just a numerical coding of ACAB (a=1, b=2,c=3…)
No idea what the ‘a’ is in 1312a googling 1312a just gets me fancy speaker wire…
I made it the fuck up, senator
You forgot 67
>.>
<.<
no i didn’t
67 wasn’t forgotten, it was excluded.

Bold take in a computer science oriented environment.
Lemmy’s not that computer science oriented any more, much like Reddit.
This community specifically is a comics community, and this comic is about a very mainstream fiction series. Can’t get much more normie than that.
Numbers = racist, got it
Nazis have been appropriating numbers like 88 to dogwhistle to their followers “Hey, I’m making a public apology for my stockholders, but fingers crossed for stringing up all the minorities once we have our guys in the Supreme Court, winkwink nudgenudge.” Don’t play dumb.
Everyone does that. It’s not a nazi thing.
It just currently (and historically) behooves nazis to do it as much as possible because it helps them recruit to their counter-culture movement.
I’m aware and fuck them for being nazis indeed
With that said IMHO the left can also use codes and numbers. Too many cops in the area? Did they figure out what ACAB means? 1312. Easy
Hating cops and being racist is not mutually exclusive though
No, you see, the vast bootlicking contingent in… checks notes… Lemmy will violently persecute the author. The subterfuge is paramount.
They already have Norse runes and the swastika don’t fucking give them numbers too.
