84. Is this Bizzaro World??

Sat Jul 29, 2023, 09:44 AM

Jul 2023

*I* posted an OP explaining why the numbers used in RFK Jr.’s tweet are symbols of neonazis and white supremacists, because it was apparent that people aren’t familiar with this use of code. Are you saying that educating people on these hare symbols are equal in intent and effect to those using them as intended — as dogwhistles to indicate affinity to others who understand the code?

seeing as the ass who made that used a swazi, I am surprised they did not use POWER instead of PRIDE Celerity Jul 2023 #27

plus they like a variety rune symbols orthoclad Jul 2023 #36

The issue is not the Secret Service protection. The issue is him using a neonazi symbol in his WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2023 #9

Yep. Definitely not a coincidence to use those numbers. yardwork Jul 2023 #24

Mux used some 1488 references in tweets after takeover time orthoclad Jul 2023 #37

Yep. Around the same time, he also used another dogwhistle: the "Frenworld" Nazi frog meme. keep_left Jul 2023 #64

We need to do everything we can to help sink that cesspool orthoclad Jul 2023 #65

Well, at least /r/Frenworld was banned, but X (aka Twitter) is a lost cause. keep_left Jul 2023 #66

RFK Jr. is many things, but he's not a neo-Nazi or a white supremacist. This is numerology BS. TheRickles Jul 2023 #28

Covid is was designed to spare Jews and the Chinese. His words. He is a neo-Nazi. AZLD4Candidate Jul 2023 #33

Sorry, not his words. He said it was a possibility, but implied that China was behind it, not us. TheRickles Jul 2023 #45

Nazis aren't nazis until they say something nazi-ish. Being Jewish, I'll take his words, not your AZLD4Candidate Jul 2023 #57

As it happens, I'm Jewish too, not that that matters. It's ironic because one of my main critiques TheRickles Jul 2023 #71

Being supportive of Israel does not mean you can make nazi overtones. Most people know what 1488 AZLD4Candidate Jul 2023 #72

Jumping to more conclusions I see SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #73

Yeah, you're right. Nazi speaking that COVID was designed to hurt everyone except Jews and Chinese AZLD4Candidate Jul 2023 #74

That isn't what he said SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #75

You want to support someone trying to primary Joe Biden, go ahead. Anti-vax nazi fuck that he is. AZLD4Candidate Jul 2023 #76

Again SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #77

What did he say then? druidity33 Jul 2023 #106

He is SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #107

No, but the 14-88 whistle does. druidity33 Jul 2023 #108

Believe what you like n/t SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #109

Well, thanks for trying. Pretty depressing to see what is showing up on DU. TheRickles Jul 2023 #114

Triggered? SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #116

I meant that people are willing to jump to all sorts of conclusions based on the tiniest of clues. TheRickles Jul 2023 #117

Ah, got it! SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #118

No worries! Well, I was worried for a minute there.... :-) TheRickles Jul 2023 #119

Per the Anti-Defamation League... SMC22307 Jul 2023 #38

No, this is straight-up Hitler worship orthoclad Jul 2023 #44

Yeah SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #47

You need to pay better attention. SMC22307 Jul 2023 #53

No thanks SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #54

You didn't need to search at all. RFK Jr put it out there for all to see - plain as day. SMC22307 Jul 2023 #59

You're free to believe whatever you like SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #60

No it's not reaching. Sky Jewels Jul 2023 #112

You're wrong. He is aligning himself with the neo-Nazis. Sky Jewels Jul 2023 #92

It's embarrassing Zeitghost Jul 2023 #115

Well the first and most obvious is a big red elephant. That is number one. republianmushroom Jul 2023 #31

What "Democrat"? UTUSN Jul 2023 #34

A "Democrat," Wednesdays Jul 2023 #46

Gradually? ExWhoDoesntCare Jul 2023 #69

Thanks for educating me on 14/88 - never knew this. Now I'm informed on iluvtennis Jul 2023 #40

Sorry, Bobby, but if you become a "major candidate" of the Democratic Party for President in 2024 DFW Jul 2023 #42

He's wealthy. Why doesm't he just hire his own security? vlyons Jul 2023 #49

Denied because he is not a serious candidate and running against the sitting President? Brainfodder Jul 2023 #63

This post is absurd crap. RFK jr. is not a white supremacist. nt Brenda Jul 2023 #80

I wouldn't call him a democrat either. Initech Jul 2023 #94

Nothing says "definitely not a Nazi" like hanging out with Steve Bannon. DickKessler Jul 2023 #105

Yes he is. He hangs around white supremacists. That makes him one. Marius25 Jul 2023 #98

For those insisting RFK Jr. is not a white supremacist or neonazi or racist or anrisemite, what do WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2023 #82

Someone on this thread SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #83

Is this Bizzaro World?? WhiskeyGrinder Jul 2023 #84

Nope SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #85

Well MorbidButterflyTat Jul 2023 #87

I obviously can't speak for RFK Jr. SickOfTheOnePct Jul 2023 #96

RFK Jr. is an extreme conspiracy theorist. Him being anti-Semitic wouldn't be a shock. DickKessler Jul 2023 #103

It also looks odd that the tweet writer added hyphens after the "14" and "88" muriel_volestrangler Jul 2023 #89

+1. Nobody writes "1-week has 7-days" - incidentally he knows how to use hyphens: dalton99a Jul 2023 #95

RFK Jr isn't a democrat. He's a tool of Steve Bannon and Alex Jones. Initech Jul 2023 #93

He doesn't need or deserve secret service protection. BannonsLiver Jul 2023 #102

Professional conspiracy theorist aligned with the far Right is anti-Semitic? Shocking! DickKessler Jul 2023 #104

P.S. 57 days. Not 88 days. 🤨 demmiblue Jul 2023 #110

+1. Clearly intentional - "Look at me, I am a Nazi" dalton99a Jul 2023 #113

I might have given him the benefit of the doubt. Captain Stern Jul 2023 #111
