The show isn’t even out yet. What character has links to nazis? It looks like a topographical map to me. I’m not a hiker, and I have no idea how to find the location of where this map is, but it seems insane to me that you would assume that a nazi specifically went out and searched high and low for a map that has the number 1488 on it for absolutely no reason except to have that number appear on a screen.
It’s both a blessing and a curse to be so unaware of what’s happening around you. To think it’s “insane” that a white supremacist placed 1488 on an elevation map says that you neither understand how incredibly easy that would be to accomplish and that you aren’t aware of the rising tide of racial hate that was invigorated in 2016 and hasn’t felt much pushback since.
It’s so not “insane” that it could easily be the most likely reason for splashing 1488 across TV screens around the country during the last regular season football game of the year.
Nazis and racists are everywhere. They work everywhere. They live everywhere. And they’re feeling incredibly emboldened and inevitable. Whatever reason you choose to believe that led 1488 to be displayed so prominently for everyone to see, an inescapable fact is that every racist that saw it BELIEVES that it was intentionally placed there and got a jolt of dopamine feeling that their message is spreading, that “their time is coming.” That’s the actual insane part.
