“14,” “88,” “14/88,” “The 14 Words”: The fourteen words, a white supremacist slogan originating with domestic terrorist David Eden Lane, are “we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”. White supremacists often pair this with 88, which stands in for HH, short for heil Hitler, a declaration of obedience to the deceased Nazi dictator.
WWG1WGA: WWG1WGA stands for “where we go one we go all,” which is most associated with the right-wing conspiracy group Qanon, but is also used by groups like the Proud Boys.
“6MWE” means “six million wasn’t enough,” or sometimes “six million more” is saying that the six million Jewish people that the Nazis murdered (alongside five million other prisoners) in the Holocaust, widely believed to be one of the worst atrocities ever committed, should be repeated.
“RWDS” means Right Wing Death Squad, commonly shown on “Pinochet Did Nothing Wrong” t-shirts, referencing the deceased authoritarian Augusto Pinochet. Pinochet was a brutal and violent leader of Chile from the U.S.-backed military coup in 1973 (officially being declared president in 1974) until 1990. Modern right-wing extremists mostly reference Pinochet’s regime with jokes about “free helicopter rides” for leftists, a reference to the 120 prisoners the Chilean government reports were thrown from helicopters, a small percentage of the estimated 1,200 to 3,200 people killed by the regime.
