Was that old story about a goon's sister being pornstar Kacey Kox and recognizing her at the Thanksgiving dinner table ever routed out as an urban legend or did that Actually Happen?

AI does not gently caress around with Nazis in their forum.

How do we know these are the same people? Someone once did the same thing to me because there is an xtal on reddit, who I have no connection to, aside from presumably both liking Aphex Twin.

Not to defend the person of course. Just having the name Das Volk is enough to be a Nazi. But there are probably lots of Nazis who use that since it's from a Nazi slogan.

Das Volk was an out-and-out nazi (it was years until I understood what his username '1v1r1f' meant), and we should have gotten rid of him long before.

Re: the bolded bits, it took me a few minutes to puzzle out what the hell it was, and without the context of him being a fascist it probably woulda floated right by me as like an obscure gaming reference or something with the 1v1.

It's "Ein volk ein reich ein fuhrer". What is it with white supremacists and their secret codes?

Cowardliness. Some part of them recognises the 'wrongness' of their ideology. Some vestige of shame. It's actually rare to find openly proud nazis. It's always couched behind 'i'm not racist but...' or some other mental barrier.

They're aware that their views are unpalatable to the majority of people, so they can't just come out and say "I'm a Nazi." But they still need a way to identify each other. So they come up with all kinds of codes and secret symbols that'll look innocent to people not in their group, but anyone who is in the group will instantly identify.

Its not just white supremacists, pretty much any group that isn't accepted by the mainstream will find secret ways of identifying themselves to other members.

I think there's also an element of "fun" in there too, in that they find amusement in sneaking these references into everyday contexts where most people will be none-the-wiser, even if they're not trying to signal to anyone in particular.
