Maybe he could switch to ASoldierNamedRyan

[–] Aksamit@slrpnk.net 5 points 11 hours ago

Don't give them ideas.

I loved that Tom Hanks movie!

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 46 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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 22 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] frezik@midwest.social 4 points 8 hours ago

As a radical centrist, I must find any possible reason that someone would stick an obvious dogwhistle in their name besides being a Nazi. We can't just go assuming the blatantly obvious.

[–] derpgon@programming.dev 6 points 11 hours ago

His name is really just Ryan Adams Soldier

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

No I meant A Ryan's Oldie

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 59 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

These people probably feel so ashamed they can't even look at themselves in the mirror.

[–] IDKWhatUsernametoPutHereLolol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

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

JosephKaro1488 was his gamertag

(He was actually born in 1488 lol)

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

Ma boi Yosef, I don't see him play anymore

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 5 points 10 hours ago

No he’s just from Iran who likes the third unification of Iran he’s just off by twenty years.

[–] Oka@sopuli.xyz 7 points 12 hours ago

Shoutout to DarkViperAU (formerly DarkViper88, because of birth year)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 56 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

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

[–] considine@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

88 is a lucky number in Vietnam. You'll see Vietnamese restaurants use 88 in their name sometimes.

Different cultures, different meanings. Not that Nazis are a culture. They are distinctly uncultured.

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

The swastika was also appropriated by the Nazis. In Indian cultures, it is a symbol of blessings and prosperity. You still won't catch me sporting that shit anywhere.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 hours ago

"Aryans" originally referred to Indo-Iranians but guesd what Nazis did to the term

[–] xye@lemm.ee 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah exactly “but it has a historical meaning besides the nazis” is a great lesson in cultural appropriation if anyone is even worth trying to explain this to.

[–] Bubs12@lemm.ee 37 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

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 29 points 19 hours ago (3 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.

[–] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

"Secure" doesn't just mean "defend" or "safeguard". "Secure" also means "capture", so it implies you need to go out and get it, like with invasions or something maybe, idk. It's a lot less passive.

"Existence" means both "survival" and "prosperity". It implies that both their existence is under threat, while creating the idea that they might be able to make it better. Maybe they could, idk, make america great again, trying to return to some mythical prelapsarian era by beating back the eternal threat.

"A future" does this too, implying they may not have a future at all.

And talking about the "children" brings up the concept of making new people, evoking the idea that non-white races are out-breeding them. It also includes the common "think of the children" idea.

And finally the fact that it's short and boring comes from the fact that nazis are uninspiring and uninspired, and they need a simple, to the point slogan to repeat without thinking about it too hard. They certainly know how to make a message concise, even at the cost of saying almost nothing of meaning when you think too hard about it.

All of this is classic fascism.

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 19 points 17 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 4 points 15 hours 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?

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 13 points 14 hours 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.

[–] oo1@lemmings.world 3 points 14 hours 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.

[–] june@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 18 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 9 points 17 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.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 10 points 20 hours ago

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

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world -3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I usually rain hellfire on Nazis, when they actually Behave like Nazis & not just because of a number

[–] SuperEars@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago

And until they behave like nazis, you'd defer to the friendly warning, correct?

[–] NovaOG@lemm.ee 71 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago

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

[–] wander1236@sh.itjust.works 234 points 1 day ago (32 children)

Whoever took this screenshot is the user with that Discord name

[–] UnfortunateShort@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

Since you can set temporary, server-only nicknames, you don't even need to edit the page source or Photoshop to stage that
