i've literally never heard of this, but great to pollute my brain with more of this bs.
serious question: if the majority aren't "in the know" and some minority is, and the game has literally nothing to do with sending any sekrut messages, who cares? like, is a white nationalist sitting here on HN, playing this game over a coffee and thinks, "heh, sick this is 4 numbers away from the callsign"
- johndough 2mo agoIf an uneducated acquaintance of yours was about to name their newborn child "Adolf", would you interject that this name might not be such a great idea?
- volkk 2mo agothere's a big difference between Adolf and whatever esoteric garbage this is
- pohl 2mo agoNot sure where you’re from but it’s not esoteric at all. Here in the US our current administration is constantly vice-signaling to white supremacists to maintain them as a political base, and uses myriad similar winks to do it. One example: in 2020 the Trump campaign ran Facebook ads featuring an inverted red triangle. The opening sentence was 14 words long. They ran the ad 88 times. It’s ok to choose to be ignorant of the implications, but it’s better to maintain situational awareness. (I’m not saying the game needs to change its name.)
- runjake 2mo agoThis "esoteric" garbage is the catchphrase of white nationalists globally. So it's about as esoteric as white nationalism is. For example, members of the current US administration know it/believe it.
- pohl 2mo agoAbsolutely, it’s an act of kindness to loop them in. And if an eavesdropper complains about it I’d be super suspicious.
