Gee, I wonder if Aryansoldier1488 knows if 1488 is a dog whistle for Nazis? I'd hate for Aryansoldier to get caught up in this. It was probably a random number.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 4 points 54 minutes ago

Poor guy was probably just born on 1/4/1988 and his real name is just Ayra N Soldier. People these days just call everybody a Nazi smh /s

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 28 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I do feel bad for people born in the year 1488 though, their usernames look really suspicious.

Yeah, I feel bad for the Jewish rabbi, Joseph ben Ephraim Karo

JosephKaro1488 was his gamertag

(He was actually born in 1488 lol)

"Just warning you that GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY SERVER" ban

The whole number or just the 88? I learned about 88 in high school because I questioned why all the racist kids wore it.

Edit: I just noticed the rest of his name. Hooboy. lol

The 14 refers to “The Fourteen Words”

“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

It's funny because it's hardly an inspiring or memorable 14 word sentence. It's just awkward and clunky.

Like, why "secure"? Why not "safeguard" or "defend"? IMO those are stronger, more emotionally resonant words.

And why "existence"? Why not something stronger like "survival" or something more than survival like "prosperity"?

And just "a future" for white children? Not "a glorious future" or "a triumphant future"?

And, why "white children"? Not the white race?

Also, how is "a future for white children" distinct from "the existence of our people"? Are white children distinct from "our people"?

I could get it if it were framed as: we must defend our survival now so that our children can prosper. In that case you're saying that the present might be tough but the future will be bright. But they're not painting the future as bright, just "a future", which is really the same as an "existence" so it's basically saying "Our people must survive and so must our children, who are also our people, but smaller."

Like, they memorized the first draft of some dumb saying and revere it as "the 14 words", but it's just badly written, nevermind all the racism.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 9 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

It's the same tactic as the "It's OK to be white" or "White lives matter" slogans, but more clever because it leaves enough ambiguity such that just about anything can be justified under it. It mentions children to come across as more innocent and to implicitly accuse the opposition of endangering children (also playing into LGBT scaremongering, with the Nazis using the same tropes they use today). "Think of the children!" is a common and effective propaganda line.

Saying "future" instead of "glorious future" suggests that the children wouldn't have a future at all otherwise. That the white race is under attack and is otherwise on track to be eliminated by Jews and communists and so forth. It's harder to justify atrocities in the name of "a glorious future" vs "a regular future" as opposed to "a regular future" vs "we are completely exterminated ourselves."

It is, of course, bullshit, because it's literally Nazi propaganda trying to frame them as on the "defensive," but it is carefully and intelligently crafted propaganda. It's important to understand the enemy and their approaches in order to better counter their movements and defeat them, they should not be underestimated.

[–] merc@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

I get what you're saying, but it's still just really clunky writing.

Like, you want to include children for the "think of the children!" aspect, then just add "and our children" to the existing clause. There's no need for a whole secondary clause about the future of the children when that's already covered by the clause about the existence of our people.

It's not that I expect Nazi writing to be good. It's just that someone has to have said it better than this, even just accidentally, and yet this version is the one that Nazis have decided to immortalize.

If this version was the winner, what were the early drafts like?

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 3 points 1 hour ago

Maybe they emphasise "children" to encourage more of the current adult generation to sacrifice themselves. And to manage expectations of when the benefits arise.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 hour ago

I looked into it more and the specific phrase was developed by a Neo-Nazi domestic terrorist. It bears a heavy resemblance to the following quote from Hitler:

What we must fight for is to safeguard the existence and reproduction of our race and our people, the sustenance of our children and the purity of our blood, the freedom and independence of the fatherland, so that our people may mature for the fulfillment of the mission allotted it by the creator of the universe.

Idk what you'll think of that one, but I actually thought the 14 words were a slogan used in Nazi Germany. The fact that it was just some whackjob makes me see it as less professionally crafted.

Also, if you think the 14 words are cringy and poorly written, wait until you hear the often omitted follow up to them:

because the beauty of the White Aryan woman must not perish from the Earth.

Right wingers be normal about women challenge level: impossible.

[–] june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

"Secure" also has the meaning of taking something with great difficulty, not simply defending. It's a threat. All the rest is just using catastrophic/severe language to lure in followers to their cause.

[–] TheDoozer@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

This reminds me of an anecdote talking about language differences between the US armed services:

If you told a Marine to secure a building, they would kick the door in and take control of the building.

If you told a soldier in the Army to secure a building, they would set up a fence around it and establish a sentry.

If you told a Navy sailor to secure a building, they'd turn off all the lights and close and lock the door on their way out.

If you told an Airforce airman to secure a building, they would write up a purchasing contract.

It's like the kind of shit 11 year olds come up with FFS.

[–] spicystraw@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago

Seriously, I didn't see the name until after I read the comments. I got totally tricked; good job!

[–] NovaOG@lemm.ee 53 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

What do we call a Discord that allows nazis in it? A Nazi Discord.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Considering the avatar, there's like a non-zero chance it's one nazi telling another.

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 22 points 11 hours ago

Well, now that Discord is going public, we can probably just call it Discord.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 14 points 11 hours ago

That's good looking out.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

I hope he gets messaged every hour about how his name might draw the wrong crowd.

Also that he needs to take pills for a bigger penis.

ETA: And that he might be able to profit from Nigerian princes needing some money laundered through the United States.

Also he should try EA's FIFA offerings... okay, I'm getting carried away. No one deserves that.

Whoever took this screenshot is the user with that Discord name

It has Aryan Soldier in the name and they are worried about 1488 lol, this is a good one.

[–] TheMightyCanuck@sh.itjust.works 47 points 13 hours ago (3 children)

Thank you for explaining the punch line

You must be fun at parties

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 16 points 12 hours ago (3 children)

They might be fun at parties, you don't know them.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 6 points 6 hours ago

Matter of fact I am. Also, I don't know him.

The surprising thing is that they're not fun at parties because they attempt an epic keg stand and you end up calling an ambulance and everyone goes home early

What’s the 14 supposed to mean in this context?

[–] ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago) (2 children)

Something about 14 words from one of Hitler's speeches or books or something. I can't be bothered to google it. And the 88 are supposed to represent "HH". Sucks for me because I was born in 1988 so I used that number a lot before I learned about this.

[–] webadict@lemmy.world 7 points 6 hours ago

It sucks way worse for all those people born in 1488.

Because they're dead.

[–] josefo@leminal.space 2 points 6 hours ago

Hello fellow 88 baby. When I was a teenager a lot of bands had 88 in the name for that reason. It's a cool number, I hate that the nazis coopted it. Fuck nazis.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 8 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

Just the number? The Aryan Soldier part is fine? Dude there's no redeeming part of that name. It translates as IamANaziIAmANazi.

[–] Gloomy@mander.xyz 52 points 12 hours ago
[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 6 points 12 hours ago

You forgot one IamANazi. Sadly, I've seen worse names in PC gamimg lobies.
