88 just happens to be a Nazi reference used by white supremacists. Curious coincidences.

This time it might actually be a coincidence, someone at the political bureau tried to pick the closest number to 100 that wouldn't look made up, 73 they were promptly excited for sedition my their boss who added 3 to the number and routed it to his boss,. Repeat the process 5 times and there you go "88".
