Spencer said publicly traded companies have to show constant growth or else nobody will give them money.

    Even if it was innocent, putting 88 in your username at best makes you unoriginal and old.

    You’re half dead and you still can’t figure out a unique name that doesn’t give Nazis cover?

    Pathetic.

        Your words mean nothing even in your best case scenario.

      step off the gas. nicknames and numbers can have entirely different cultural contexts.

      for me, i’ve never seen “juice” used to refer to jews, nor “88” being used to refer to nazis, and i’ve been on the internet a long time.

      when i see “juice”, the first thing i think of is the song by lizzo. “88” is used as a replacement for “bye bye” in cantonese lingo.

      plenty of usernames are just random word + year of birth. stop overanalyzing it and chill.

      You sound like the kind of person who would just assume Hindu temples were made by Nazis because they contained swastikas. Just because some assholes used a symbol as a dogwhistle doesn’t mean that the rest of the world should stop using it.

          I’m not gullible, or a dumbass. Those are harsh words from somebody who can’t understand that not everything is a dogwhistle.

          Your username is just as sus by your own logic. Grand Dragon is a title for leaders in the KKK.

              Look, I definitely don’t hate you, and hate racists as much as anyone other upstanding citizen should. I honestly appreciate you looking out for them, and the username you called out could be seen as sus, for sure.

              Just don’t let assholes steal the symbols for themselves, fuck them. Don’t disparage someone for not knowing about the dogwhistle and/or using a symbol non problematically. That was really my only gripe.
