So, funny story, as a kid my favorite number was 8, had a few reasons that matched 8.
So I always used it in names and such. But, often it wasnt unique, so I used 88 instead. Emails, account names, even video game characters have 88 in them to this day.
Born in 1988? Lots of folks born that year decided to have those two digits in their first Internet usernames as well. A few of those will still be in use, no doubt, so you’re not alone. (Me? No, I’m older.)
In your shoes, I’d maybe think about changing things around, especially the easy ones, but you’re not me, nor I you.
No. 88 is just a number. It can be used as a dog whistle, but it can also be used, for instance, to describe a quantity equidistant between 87 and 89. Numbers and symbols don’t make a Nazi, actions and rhetoric do.
I love Norse symbology. I’m not going to stop loving it because some fuckbrains use it to spread hate. Fuck that.
Bro. Read the comment. There’s shitheads in every community. Boogaloo is about preparing for what we see as the inevitable second civil war. Not anyone’s skin color.

The way it was explained to me is that H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, HH stands for Hile Hitler
Well, we need to make 88 stand for Hulk Hogan Brother!
882
My wife’s pet name is Boog, and I’m determined not to let Nazis take it away.
I had a cat growing up named Boog… named after John “Boog” Powell… the baseball player, not Nazis.

Based. Same goes for the boogaloo “movement” just because there are Nazis in it doesn’t mean it’s a primaryily Nazi community.
No, but it is primarily a white supremacists movement and the ‘88’ on the license plate kinda takes away all doubt.

Literally in the exact same position… I’ve been using it for 20+ years and I’ll be damned if I let them take that away from me though.
Hamburg licence plates say HH.
Don’t worry about it.
88 is also a popular number in China as it looks like 囍 which is the symbol for double happiness.
Just don’t be a Nazi and keep using 88 for good.
