Are people still talking about BAYC? Wow. I thought that was over.
In case you weren't aware, BAYC is full of Nazi symbolism [1]. Now there are two groups who use Nazi symbols:
1. Actual Nazis; and
2. Suburban Ohio 14 year olds and NEETs who are 4chan edgelords and groypers.
I suspect the Nazi influence on BAYC came from the second group.
NFTs are a scam to sell crypto, which is also a scam. NFTs are like Inception-level "we must go deeper" scams. Can we move on yet?
This symbolism is pervasive and you start to see it everywhere. Some examples are:
- comments of "well well well" (left on videos fitting an alleged racial stereotype by white supremacists);
- use of three nested parentheses (eg "(((Julie)))", you'll see it all over Twitter);
- the sonnenrad (or "Black Sun") [2];
- the totenkopf [3];
- usernames or references to the numbers 88 or 1488;
- usernames or references to the numbers 1350 or 1352. This isn't a Nazi reference but it's common among white supremacists.
