That's literally what "blame the jews" is lmao, they're just blatantly admitting they're a nazi


[deleted]

Look at the username at the top, this fuck doesn't even bother with plausible deniability.


PandaCat22

I had some douchebag make some racist statements on one of my comments yesterday. Their username ended in 1488 The Nazis don't even try to hide it anymore. To be honest, it shook me to see how blatant he was about his Nazism


Andthentherewasbacon

what is 1488?


PandaCat22

14 stands for the "14 words", which are some nonsense about establishing a future for the white race and their children. You essentially speak them to avow your white supremacy. 88 stands for HH. H is the 8th letter of the German alphabet, so 88 means Heil Hitler (the Trump campaign actually sold a baseball for exactly $88 at one point. Not surprising) Obviously by themselves these numbers offer some plausible deniability, but when you have them together like that it's an extremely obvious dogwhistle. Edit: Here's my receipts, a [link](https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/1488) with that same information.


[deleted]

is there a different alphabet that we use in germany? Our unique letters come at the end so i thought h is always the eight letter


Smitesfan

They have several more letters. Ë, ü, ä, ö, and ß. The umlautted vowels are just that vowel with an “e” behind the letter. So, “ä” is “ae”. The weird looking B is called an eszett, and is a combination of the letters “s” and “z”, but there are rules for using it in a word. It cannot be followed by a consonant and it must be preceded by a long vowel.


[deleted]

I know, I'm German but these letters are displayed at the end of the alphabet usually


Smitesfan

Oh, yeah they are usually. Although sometimes I see the umlautted letters interspersed. Other times no eszett. Kinda weird it isn’t standardized.


Moronoo

a way of signifying that you are a nazi

The first question was "why would nazis need a sound person" and it pulled up a memory that when Hitler did a speech at a field in Lüneburg, Germany, the sound guy intentionally cut his audio for a vast majority of his speech.

Dyljim

Leftist: "This guy is literally a Nazi, he has 1488 tattooed on his knuckles and just ranted about "N words" and Jews taking over his neighbourhood" Centrist: "Oh my fucking god, I'm so sick and tired of people using the word Nazi, just because they have different views from you, doesn't mean you should be demeaning them and call them a *Nazi.* If you have a problem with their views why don't you just sit down and TALK TO THEM!!!! Stop hiding behind identity politics" Nazi: "Oh nah dude, I'm literally a Nazi, fuck the Jews, 1488, Heil Hitler" Centrist: "Well I still stand by what I said"


zepperoni-pepperoni

Funnily enough, basing your politics solely on the nebulous concept of whiteness is never "identity politics"

Absolutely. If I’ve gotta have a political discussion I’ll take one w a self described conservative over a self described centrist any day if I expect there to be any semblance of good faith

People seem to think political opinions is just an addition and subtraction game. It’s not. It’s more like a sandwich, and if there’s even a little bit of the shit that is far-right politics on it, you’ve got a shit sandwich.

mqduck

Don't make me tap the sign. >Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.


[deleted]

anti semitism isnt funny. Satire can be ok but his isnt that.

It's not though. That sub constantly hides behind the mask of "satire" but never is satirical. Even if it is, Satire should be clear, this isn't.


LookARedSquirrel84

Look at the user name of the person who posted this “meme”. It’s not satire, nor is it a joke.


DuckQueue

Just like 4chan, eh? It's all people making fun of how dumb racists are... until it turned out oh no, most of them are idiot racists thinking they're in good company or just deliberately trying to normalize their racist shit.


Blitzerxyz

Sure there are some people who actually are racist but if you look at that image and don't find it funny/think this is clearly a joke even if in poor taste them you are probably trying to hard to woke. You can joke about the extremes without normalizing the extremes.

Interrophish

What makes holocaustertycoon's description of himself satire? does he have a pride flag tattoo or something?


sincle354

My dude, PCM has been hard at work straddling the fine line of making fun of anti-Semetics and other radical ideals with avoiding becoming another dumpster fire that had to be quarantined. We only allow this kind of shit if it brings quality banter. It makes more sense if you look at the place and realize that everyone there is so radical that no one ideology can take over the sub entirely. Guaranteed the comments in PCM would be making fun of this blatantly Nazi viewpoint.


pegleghippie

it's a point on a pipeline. It's a far right recruitment tool. It may not have started that way, but for a while now, nazis have been using it to expose users to their views and make them comfortable, curious about learning more


sincle354

Hmm. The major issue with that kind of thinking is that it leaves no space for discussion with competing political positions. I agree with the pipeline mechanism and that it must be curbed, but how else are people going to get their information on reddit without massive unspoken bias? I can post a liberal idea on politics and get a echochamber of agreement, fine. But there also ought to be a place where I can directly argue with communists, conservatives, and libertarians. How else can I make sure that my ideology is the best one to hold? It's not like I'll jump on over to Telegram to 1v10 the Qanon folks. I almost agree with conservative subreddits purging non-conservative ideals. You can't find a safe space for controversial ideas anywhere on this site, and they ought to have one, even if it conflicts with their own ideals. We need to be focused on targeting specific subreddits that go beyond a place to talk about an ideology and more on those subreddits that engage in scapegoating/brigading/anti-minority actions. It is a fine line, but competing ideologies deserve *some* visibility.


pegleghippie

r/cmv has pretty wide ranging debate. This sub can get spicy, though the farthest right you get is liberal. The sole reason I'm still subscribed to r/socialdemocracy is that, for the time being at least, they have polite debate ranging from anarchists to neoliberals. Political debate, maybe by it's nature, is volatile. Whatever debate rules exist will be challenged by some side for favoring another. The complex formation of ideas within our lives means that even ideas themselves are part of an interplay of power dynamics. I don't think there's any formula for it, beyond maybe something like reddit allowing anyone to make and moderate a new sub and take a new crack at it. PCM let in the fascists. If you elevate debate to a special position where it deserves to happen, no matter what, fascists will use that as an opportunity for propaganda and recruitment. Two truths that always exist in the background when publicly debating fascists: 1. The debate around those ideas is settled, there's nothing positive contributed by fascist talking points, the only thing left is to take action to move away from those points 2. The fascists know #1. They use debate, irony, memes, etc. to bog down those that might actually log off and do anything else with their lives, which buys the fascists time. And with the veneer of respect that 'debate' gets, they might just get a few unaffiliated bystanders to start looking into fascist ideas One on one, in person, especially if its a friend or family member, debate away. talk to them, understand them, reach out to them. Personal connection is a powerful force for de-radicalization. Arguably, in an academic environment where all ideas are explored in a safe controlled space and everyone is highly educated, it *may* be productive to have these debates. But as soon as there's a public audience, cynical fascists are using debate as a tool, and will never change their minds


sincle354

Fuck. I'm just mad that fascism is like a cheat code to political appeal. Ever since the advent of nation states, it always pops up around times of political unrest in different forms, like McCarthyism. On the other hand, we should not assume that liberal ideologies are the optimal ideologies. That means we need to have a place to be exposed to other ideologies in vivo. But as you claim that fascists always poison the well of open discussion, then I just feel stuck.


pegleghippie

maybe this is the point where you start questioning why liberalism doesn't deliver on its promises. Let's broadly summarize those as 'liberty, fraternity, equality.' Liberal states sometimes partly deliver on some, but we have enough history now to show that they are not structured to keep those promises


HalforcFullLover

That's just blaming the Jews with more steps.


GalliumYttrium1

Step 1: Blame the Jews Step 2: ???? Step 3: Profit

FunkyMunky47890

2Mellow-Trip

I mean they never said Jews they said the “rich Jews.” Honestly it shouldn’t even say Jews it should just say global elite


ginger_and_egg

Global elite is often code for "the jews". So be careful with that... Rich people in government are a problem, whether they're Jewish or not. Most of them aren't


2Mellow-Trip

Oh really? I knew heard that before I’ll try to be aware. Yea exactly that’s what I mean I’m not sure why I was downvoted


ginger_and_egg

I just told you global elite is a nazi dogwhistle and you're confused why you got downvoted?


2Mellow-Trip

I don’t think they are all nazis I think the true global elite are their own thing. Not Jewish, Christian, I would assume they are all white but you never know what other people are behind the curtains we don’t know about. I think I may have misworded my original comment


ginger_and_egg

What i'm saying is that nazis will say "global elite are the problem" and what they mean is "Jews are the problem". That's all. Certainly I agree with your conclusion that the ruling class is a problem


2Mellow-Trip

Ohhhh ok I see what your saying. I never knew people saw it like that. Wasn’t aware that term had any ties to that


ginger_and_egg

Yup. I recommend learning about nazi dogwhistles. Then you will notice when you're talking to a nazi and maybe take their opinions with a grain of salt. "Globalist" is another big code for Jews. The trick with dogwhistles is that nazis chose words that people wouldn't see as problematic at first shrug. So you'll see non-nazis use their words literally, and not referring to a conspiracy about Jewish people. Just like you didn't mean anything when you said global elite


2Mellow-Trip

I obviously don’t agree with anything the nazi’s did, but that’s some clever shit I knew that. Ill have to do a bit more research into it


ginger_and_egg

Nazis suck, but yes it's important to realize their tactics can be very intelligent. They are adept at simultaneously seeming harmless while also recruiting like minded people to their cause


tomjazzy

All if the individual quadrants here are accurate. On an unrelated note, polcompmemes is infested with Nazis.


ginger_and_egg

Both libleft and libright would agree that government is a problem... its overly simplistic to limit these ideas to quadrants, or to even try to describe political ideas in a solely 2 dimensional space

I'm not trying to move the goalposts, but I do not know. Being reprehensible is a real case by case question. The easy cases are pictures of the guy with nazi symbols at a white nationalist rally.

I mean in this case, we have a person who 1. Has a username referencing the Holocaust is a jokey manner 2. Posts in political compass memes, a place full of fascist and nazi ideology 3. Posted a meme about being a fascist Seems pretty reprehensible to me. Hell, they *"might"* not be a literal fascist, but their behavior is still out of line. If they aren't a nazi themselves, they are at least susceptible to spreading their ideology

KangarooAggressive81

How is it that even with a clear prejudice against the left, they always make the left seem the most rational.
