So. An EU project is in the works with Denmark at the helm about using frozen Russian assets to fund Ukraine for weapons production.
As in, using Russian money to pay Ukraine to make their own weapons. And then that investment returns to Russia through a handful holes lodged into the Russian soldiers.
"That's just his birthyear...", right...and the first of April is the day? (1488) or if you write dates differently, the fourth of January? These people aren't even subtle anymore. 18 is another i've seen used, but it's more rare.
To be sure I recently had to smack down someone saying that those symbols (14, 88, double lightning bolts, swastika and the Black Sun) were only widely known to NAZIs and their sympathizers...that was fun.
If you were born in 1988, you'd be in your mid-30s, and I find it hard to believe you'd still be so clueless as to not know "88" is a Neo-Nazi symbol/dogwhistle. Like, I could understand if it was like 2004 and we're talking about a 16-year-old dumbass, but 35/36? Nah, you know what you're doing. That excuse is dead.
As a member of the born in 1988 party; I'll use 88 on some tags if need be; but it'll only be my name or my online handle. My friends who are all born in the same year have nothing that uses 18 or nazi-known names before the number either. It's not hard to keep 88 in your tag and avoid nazi dogwhistling, at least honestly.

Also born '88. I remember learning when I was about 7-8 years old what 88 could be a symbol of.
