    Looks like someone who needs some break lights replacing, maybe two tires as well.

        You’ve got to be kidding? They’re appropriating Electric Boogaloo (a film about break dancing and the black community) as their slogan? That is wrong on so many levels.

          A few years ago Republicans were also dancing to System of a Down’s Killing in the Name Of song as if it was pro-them.

          Never underestimate the amount of stupid and innapropriate conservatives are capable of.

          Not only that, according to the wikipedia article OP linked:

          “The boogaloo movement has created logos and other imagery incorporating [igloo] snow huts and Hawaiian prints based on these derivations.”

          If white supremacy was so “supreme”, why are these morons using Indigenous-based iconography for their movement I wonder. They’ll claim it’s to “fly under the radar”, but that just makes them look even more smooth brained.

    These idiots are the most adolescent childish racists ever.

    This is the equivalent of a 10th grader typing 80085 into the school calculator!

      That’s what I thought this was referring to at first. Interesting that Mr. “Centrist” has an 88 in his handle.

        I wouldn’t read too much into his YouTube handle. He’s a chode but I don’t think he’s a nazi simp. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was auto-generated.

    So I grew up in Canada, on the west coast, basically Vancouver. So I’m well aware of the dog-whistles. I now live in Scotland. There was an event where I work recently, and the event contractors were 88 Events. And immediately I was like: FUCKIN NAZIS!

    My wife seems to think that they’re too…idk…girly? to be nazis, but where the fuck did 88 come from, they started up in 97, so couldn’t be that. I feel like I’m being fuckin paranoid, but the fascy bastards are coming out the woodworks lately…shrugs

        That’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Meta knows that things like white nationalism drives engagement, so they don’t do anything about it.

          Facebook (Fuck them, I’m not calling it Meta, its stupid) does do something, though.

          It actively encourages it, because right wing extremists are a big chunk of their revenue. Since right wing extremists are more engaged (obsessed) than anyone else, and click more ads than anyone else.

          Right wing extremists are the honey pot.

          Which is why regular people can get banned for the most ridiculous of shit, yet right wing racists doesnt get banned even when posting terrorist threats, death threats, or racial slurs.

          and honestly, its not just facebook. Its all social media.

        I’m not sure if you are asking me if I’m being sarcastic or if you’re confused if you want to be sarcastic? Are you implying sarcastically that Kia’s are better than American brands like Ford/Chevrolet/GM?

    I find it somewhat odd that there wouldn’t be at least one “infowarrior rides” bumper sticker. Guess they just wanna be a lowkey shithead with the vanity plate.

    The disambiguation page for Boogaloo is now a bunch of awesome shit like music and dance styles plus an extremist movement…

    Fuck you, choose a different name for your whack ass antics.

      Apparently it is not the standard design for an Indiana plate, so it must be a custom. Plus, the chances of randomly getting BOOG88 have got to be pretty small.

        The chances are exactly the same as getting any other random number (assuming the ‘4 letters, two numbers’ pattern is allowed in the random pool at all).

          The probability of getting BOOG88 is the same as any other random series, but the chances of getting a random series that also has two extremist dogwhistles is very small

        But not impossible.

        I’m just imagining the guy that randomly got that license plate with no idea of any possible meaning.

        He just can’t understand why his car is always the victim of such vandalism. Every time he gets it fixed, he finds it keyed again, or the tires flat, lights smashed…

            Yeah, I’m not saying it was random chance either. I’m just amused by imagining the possibility of some poor sad sack who got it and can’t figure out why everyone hates him.
