Welp, the front page sure is looking great again… Here’s why it might keep happening until /u/magnora7… commits suicide. 😨

Ohhhhh, so lxxxviii is the group name, not one guy.

That's roman numerals for 88, or HH, Heil Hitler. I asked them if they were nazis. Got a couple PMs but nobody was saying yes or no either way.

Their leader is named u/loki88, which I'm pretty sure is supposed to mean "low key Nazi".

Talking to them is worthless, they won't tell you anything.

I hate to even bring the possibility of reason to this, but is it that or just the year he was born? I could see the Loki thing tied in with Asatru, and I guess Nazism via that? I don't know, I never give much weight to usernames, and their content is mostly a shittier Dollar Tree version of /pol/-tier autism.

That'd be an odd coincidence.

Loki is a Norse God of Mischief in the Marvel comics and cinematic universe, step-brother of Thor.

Is that why they want s/ironleft on the front page, to recruit new nazis with memes? I never see any nazis in s/gardening or s/cooking. Maybe they just want to talk about nazi things.

Seems Un-American. Richard Nixon would never have stood for it.

    Naw, they just wan'o be li'le shits. The whole Nazbol thing they have going on is just to offend people.

    Nixon was literally the guy who sold us to China. He may have been on the HUAC, but his anti-Communism was but a red mirage.

    China was a developing nation still. Nixon opened the doors to what we have now, but there were a lot of steps along that road. And many of them benefited America or at least were a pro/con of thing. China making the world's cheap plastic junk, dirtying up their country doing it, fantastic. That we can't manufacture the tech we use... Big con.

    Strategically we should have domestic production capacity on certain necessities that include microchips, phones, PPE, and certain chemicals.

    We should have total autarky, only important products we want, not need.

    Yes!!!

    Nixon's idea was a good one. But that eneded in 1989 when the CPC opened fire on its people rather than fall with the rest of the communist countries. After that, we never should have traded with them again. But, Bill Clinton was going to lose the 1996 presidential election and he needed money bad. China gave it to him, and in return he took the lead in admitting them to the WTO.

    This really happened, there were articles in the NYT, convictions, everything. All of it forgotten today.

    Good point. Don't forget "China is one of the five nuclear weapons states (NWS) recognized by the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which China ratified in 1992." They had been a nuclear power for a while but they ramped things up in the 90s. I'm sure that affected foreign relations quite a bit.

    We became dependent on external manufacturing. Never become dependent.

    That's where they got the spelling, I assume.

      Even when allowed back on /all, s/ironleft doesn't get on the front page unless people upvote it, dumdum.

      I liked the memes on there, I didn't know you guys were nazis though. And threatening physical harm, well, that's contemptible.

      Heh. We asked /u/JasonCarswell the other day whether it's true he finally quit his addiction of raping babies...

      I don't get the comparison, I don't think Jason does fuck babies, or anything for that matter. You guys use nazi themes. Seem like you may very well be nazis.

      Anyway, why didn't you simply quote our reply to your question? It was actually 1 PM, and pretty short, too:

      I don't generally post private messages since they're private.

      So... your move.

      A bowl and Amazon Prime it is.

      They tried to have me to provide a clear answer and dictated how I should answer: Yes/No - as if that's the only possible clear answer one can provide. They are clear on nothing, as intended.
