It's impossible to talk about this subject without giving away my entire birthday, but - in short - yes, I was born in 1988. And the rest of the numbers in my birthday have other significant historical meanings.
Bro was born on 18 Brumaire
I feel bad for any Back to the Future fans hahaha
88 My Pal Hitler
I've sometimes included it in my usernames just to catch the fuckers who will cozy up thinking I'm one of them. I love flipping that script in pvp games.
People actually born in 88 forever subject to the username police. How dare you not be born with preexisting knowledge of nazis and their dog whistles.
You know, I have to admit, in over 20 years I've never been harassed about my username in the context of nazis.
My dad's birthday is August 8th. He has used 88 in his email addresses since back in the old @aol.com days. I tried explaining to him that he probably shouldn't but he's loved the number 8 since he was a kid because of his birthday.

Flippant Anarchism. A lighter take on social criticism with the aim of agitation.
Post humorous takes on capitalism and the states which prop it up. Memes, shitposting, screenshots of humorous good takes, discussions making fun of some reactionary online, it all works.
This community is anarchist-flavored. Reactionary takes won't be tolerated.
