For explanation: Boogaloo movement, "Neo-Nazis use the number 88 as an abbreviation for the Nazi salute Heil Hitler.[11] The letter H is eighth in the alphabet, whereby 88 becomes HH.[12] "

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.

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.

Wait what the fuck I wear Hawaiian print shirts all the time, have I been looking like a fascist and not known it?

[-] sigmaklimgrindset@sopuli.xyz 6 points 4 months ago

Naaah dude, don't let them claim Hawaiian shirts, keep wearing them and being radical

You can tell who's a Nazi cause their Hawaiian shirts have guns on them. Mine shirts have flowers and boats and stuff.

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.

"Killing in the Name" is by Rage Against the Machine, but the point stands

[-] Blubber28@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

Woops, apologies XD thank you for the rectification

[-] P1nkman@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

Rage, not System 😊

Ronald Reagan used Springsteen's "Born in the USA" like it was a patriotic song

Then the douchebag CEO for Dutch Brothers coffee wears a RATM shirt to their NYSE IPO which is where they filmed their anti-wallstreet music video "sleep now in the fire" with Michael Moore
