Isn't 88 neo-Nazi code for "heil Hitler"? And isn't putting it in binary to disguise it evidence that he knows full well what it means?

As much as I'm not terribly fond of the guy, IIRC he's 36, which makes '88' likely short for 1988, the year he was born.

That’s correct, he was asked about it on Reddit too and confirmed it was just his birth year.

Since it’s a common dog whistle though I do think it’s always worth questioning. Particularly when it’s tied to someone licking Trump’s boots.

A lot of Nazis were supposedly born in 1988...

But in this specific case, i believe him.

Even if he is born in 1988, he could have picked a non-Nazi suffix for his username.
