not to hand it to nazis but they were clever with picking 88 as their dogwhistle number huh
Me as a kid, putting 88 in all my screen names because of the year I was born, wondering why complete strangers would instant message me with shit like "HELL YEAH BROTHER HH" i was like huh you guys really like hulk hogan
Those alt parks accounts are more or less Qanon for libs. I hate them all.
Except for all the damn facts and reality like the Republicans actually wanting to sell national parks for mining.
Still a Larp bordering on a grift.🤷
Fox News sometimes takes a break from the moral panics to cover reality. Still, the only one of these Alt Pages that actually performs a revolutionary reimagining of its function is the People's CDC. Doing anything useful means you're an enemy of the next Democratic administration looking to adopt Republican policies; in contrast these are just meme pages run by people who used to have federal jobs
Ok, I'm a ham and I know the usage of 88, but I would be suspect of a post by a national parks account using it because it isn't a ham radio account. Context matters.
So, this seems to be the case, but I've never seen anyone use anything but 73. Or "Good Business." But I've only been a ham for a few minutes.
I will say that most normies have no idea about Nazi weirdos and all the symbols they love.
I'm reminded of a questionable post I saw a while back on reddit, only to check the username and it's something along the lines of 'TheStormer88'
Classic meme
Yeah and the hand sign just means okay! 🙃
I was just saying hello to the people in the stands!
Alt National Park Service is active on Bluesky. It is possible whoever runs the account is a naïve normie and sincerely didn't know anything about 88 or 14. That would surprise me but it's possible. Still - I wonder if in the following days that account suddenly says something like "IQ is NOT a myth. There are clear differences in..."

Hmm... I thought the Bluesky account had maybe ~30K followers. I was all wrong about that. They are a top account. They have 881K followers. Now I sort of expect them to make "obvious" race science claims in the coming weeks.
