Purging.

Aren’t you glad your party didn’t listen to them?

Liberals were so proud to have Dick Cheney’s endorsement last election. And they were big mad that GWB didn’t endorse.

Whoever heard of a nazi that likes rockets?

Be fair. He did something. Enabling them is something.

Yup. I believe this is untrustworthy behavior and I regret signing up for proton mail.

It’s a bit more plausible when it’s all 4 digits.

Tbf I’ve put my birth year in my username before when I was a kid who knew next to nothing about privacy. I’ve seen other people do this too. So it’s not totally implausible.

It’s one thing when you’re a naive kid or a clueless boomer. It’s quite another when you’re the ceo of a privacy-focused company.

He’s younger than me, but there was a broad age range that all caught the internet around the same time. I’m aware that this is how it was once done. Usernames are longer now, allowing for greater creativity.

And this goober still uses his first name and an obfuscated 2 digit number? Yeah, he didn’t choose it because it’s his birth year.

He didn’t have to put it in his username.

That doesn’t mean he needed to put it in his username.

Unlike being a Nazi, nobody gets punched in the face for being a stoner.

Police have a long history of punching stoners in the face and worse. If you don’t want to get called a nazi, don’t do nazi shit with an 88 in your username.

I’m just saying that if a stoner tried to convince me that he had 420 in his username because he was born on April 20, I wouldn’t buy it.

If you don’t want people to think you’re a nazi, don’t say good things about trump with 88 sitting right there for everyone to see in your username.

The account is 2 days old. He knew what he was doing.

To be clear, I’m not arguing that people don’t put 88 as a clear dog whistle to white supremacists/general Nazi bullshit.

To be clear, anyone who supports trump is already nazi-adjacent enough to get no benefit of the doubt, and I don’t buy the “It’s my birth year” shit from any of them. Even if they were born in 1988, that’s not the reason 88 is in their username.

I also don’t believe that someone whose entire personality centers around cannabis has “420” in their username because they were born on April 20th. I don’t believe that some fratboy who is constantly making horny comments has “69” in his username because he was born on June 9th, either.

Look, I can’t comment on the significance of binary 88 in this instance with any confidence, but a lot of people use their birth year in their username.

A lot of people who like trump were coincidentally totally born in 1988.

“Chill, I was just drawing a meaningless distinction between my party and another part of my party with identical views!”

Nazism is a very small subset of fascism, they are not equivalent. Nazi also carries VERY heavy baggage which is inapplicable to Trump. Use the right terms.

Can’t tell if you’re defending trump or gatekeeping nazism.

They don’t kick their nazi buddies out of their events.

Gee. Which side has all the people marching with nazi flags?

Which side never kicks them out when they do?
