      Our license plates look like this: 2/3-letter city identifier - 1/2 letters you can choose - a 1-4 digit number you can choose. A friend of mine has the initials A.H. and was born in 1988. He wanted CITY - AH - 88. Registration did not allow it as it’s nazi dog whistling.

      Dog whistling is very common to find like-minded fascists and nazis. Kind of a sad, pathetic life if you think about it.

        It is very sad indeed. I went through the same experience when I wanted a license plate to commemorate Albert Heijn.

      I’m just aware of how these people signal to each other. I don’t know anything about the Proton CEO’s politics, but numbers like 14 and 88 in usernames are common dogwhistles.
