The capital letters imply "1488" and the post is 14 words long, both of which are well-known nazi dog whistles.

88 is also common shorthand for nazis for the phrase 'heil hitler'. Theres narry a shadow of doubt in my mind everything here is intentional just as you assume it to be.

Its also a lucky number in Chinese I think in part due to its symetry. It's important to know the context each example comes from, but in this context it's certainly exactly what you think it is.
