TIFU by accidentally choosing a nazi username
TIFU by accidentally choosing a nazi username
Obligatory "not today" disclaimer: actually fucked up over two decades ago, but found out today.
At the dawn of theinternet, I made an account on imgur. I figured (correctly) that I wasn't going to use it often enough for the username to matter much, so I just went with the first part of my email adress and a number four times.
Turns out that there is such a thing as nazi number code and it's never a good idea to use an even number of 8s for usernames when you're not a nazi.
TL;DR: Didn't know about nazi code, accidentally selected an imgur username ending with the equivalent of a double Hitler salute

8888?
I wouldn't worry about it. Only those most obsessed with hitler would care or notce. Hell, drinking milk now is white supremacy, and I like having strong bones.
That’s a common misconception.

The countries with the highest milk consumption also have the highest levels of osteoporosis. Plus the cows are important.
I wasn’t going to mention this but yes, the evidence is pretty conclusive. There is also evidence that suggests you lose calcium if you drink milk. The entire agenda of milk=calcium was produced by big farm.
You get a lot more wary of that sort of stuff if you are the kind of person who white supremacists like to harass. I think 88 by itself is probably not too suspicious, but if anyone has 1488 you are dealing with a real piece of shit.
Unless you really care about the Netherlands Navy, and the year it was founded. Its just a number bro, and its not even 69.
I literally gave you context but good for you that you don't need to think about these things. Not everyone can feel so safe and comfortable when extremist symbols start to pop up. It is "just a number" and "just a symbol" and "just a joke" until you are surrounded by extremists calling for the heads of those who they hate.
Man you're paranoid as hell. Maybe you're right, and Ill regret these words, but I sleep soundly without worrying about Nazis. My biggest worry is my town not getting road construction done in a timely manner. Lot less stress.
Like they say, is it paranoia if they are really going after you? We aren't at a point this is speculative anymore. I have seen people parading in nazi paraphernalia. Just this week in my country a teacher got assaulted and threatened at gunpoint by a cop for reprimanding his son for doing a nazi salute.
I'm a bisexual man. I see how hate movements have successfully codified their persecution of trans people into law in many places around the world, and how they are already moving to attack gay people, women and people of color.
There's no escaping the stress if this sort of stuff ends up affecting me and the people I care about. The stress might be the least of the problems.
Frankly I don't know how you can exist on the internet and remain entirely oblivious to how hate movements have gained momentum lately. It's not a question of whether it's going to happen, just seems like you are lucky not to get affected by it.
The tool posts to a community called "conservative", and makes vaguely dogwhistle posts. Odds are they've never had a thought they weren't told to think in their life
Yeah, I see now how they are posting about DeSantis and defending the loss of rights of LGBTQ+ parents in Italy.
I was trying to discuss in good faith but here we have an example of how even this supposedly unconcerned neutral sort of talk is used with partisan intent. So what can one expect from outright nazi symbols?
Yeah, fascists never debate in good faith, because they don't actually have a single valid point to defend
@Blamemeta @TwilightVulpine when the nazis roll into your town on your newly constructred roads you'll wish you worried
Its not 1939 man. Nazis are not an immediate threat, its pretty priveledged to worry about Nazis. What, are you also worried about Confederate ghosts? The Hunley sinking your yacht?
@Blamemeta It's pretty privileged to NOT worry about Nazis. In your understanding, what do you think a Nazi is?
I would argue that it's incredibly privileged to worry about Nazis. Literally any immediate problem (EQ: Roadwork that never ends) matters more. It's almost like worrying about the fall of the Roman empire, there's things to actually worry about, and you're wasting time and energy on that? If you're that bored, try getting a hobby, or maybe finding a girlfriend. Something, anything, because guess what? This isn't 1944, it's 2023, and we are so far removed from Nazis that it's more indicative of an extremely bored mind than anything else.
@Blamemeta You avoided the second question: what do you think a Nazi is?
A member of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei? Charitably, you can include wannabe members in that, like the kids that were in the German Youth program. At best, all Nazis are a 100 years old at tgis point. They are not a threat.
I thought it was a rhetorical question, tone is lost through text.
@Blamemeta Would you say the same to people in 1932, before Hitler was elected?
He definitely would. Dude is so sheltered or allowed to be so wilfully blind that he doesn't even know that neo-nazis exist and are a significant problem and he's calling OTHER people privileged 🤦🤯
Edit: I read on and found out that he was just a fascist pretending that he and his buddies are just misunderstood normal conservatives 🤦
Dude they have literally been distributing Nazi fliers in the cities near me trying to recruit new members.
Wake the fuck up, or they’ll gather until they are something you wish you’d noticed way earlier.
My grandfather got a Purple Heart in WWII and I’ll be god damned if my daughter is gonna do the same. Fuck Nazi scum.
Where the fuck was this?
Man you're paranoid as hell. Maybe you're right, and Ill regret these words, but I sleep soundly without worrying about Nazis. My biggest worry is my town not getting road construction done in a timely manner. Lot less stress.

This comes across as privileged, not insightful
Confirmed: the Netherlands Navy was nazi centuries before nazism.
