Guess I've been living under a rock or something because I had to look up what 1488 meant.
I still don't fully understand though... Is this something that a lot of people recognise as a nazi / white supremacist symbol, or is it more of a niche reference?

They say it to each other as a greeting, usually they just say 88. Another great one is TTMFBBTT, which means they are Aryan Brotherhood members "til the motherfucking body bag toe tag". Or they say "wood wood", which is short for either peckerwoods or feather woods, which is a male and female AB member.
The Klan say KIGY, AKIA, and KLASP.
In the US it may be more popular. I only know about 88 or 18 for HH or AH.
I usually rain hellfire on Nazis, when they actually Behave like Nazis & not just because of a number
And until they behave like nazis, you'd defer to the friendly warning, correct?
No he’s just from Iran who likes the third unification of Iran he’s just off by twenty years.
Maybe he could switch to ASoldierNamedRyan
I loved that Tom Hanks movie!
Don't give them ideas.
Shoutout to DarkViperAU (formerly DarkViper88, because of birth year)
Gee, I wonder if Aryansoldier1488 knows if 1488 is a dog whistle for Nazis? I'd hate for Aryansoldier to get caught up in this. It was probably a random number.
You mean, A Ryan Soldier?
No I meant A Ryan's Oldie
Poor guy was probably just born on 1/4/1988 and his real name is just Ayra N Soldier. People these days just call everybody a Nazi smh /s
As a radical centrist, I must find any possible reason that someone would stick an obvious dogwhistle in their name besides being a Nazi. We can't just go assuming the blatantly obvious.
His name is really just Ryan Adams Soldier
I do feel bad for people born in the year 1488 though, their usernames look really suspicious.
These people probably feel so ashamed they can't even look at themselves in the mirror.
Yeah, I feel bad for the Jewish rabbi, Joseph ben Ephraim Karo
JosephKaro1488 was his gamertag
(He was actually born in 1488 lol)
Ma boi Yosef, I don't see him play anymore
