Tim Pool is an alt-lite useful idiot and "reporter", who speaks of being a high school dropout with outright pride, not realizing to what extent this gives him a tin ear for not just right-wing dog whistles but even rhetorical subtext intended to be overt (for instance, insisting the statement "men are not women" shouldn't be construed as transphobic because it remains true if trans men are counted among men and trans women among women), as well as leaving him ignorant of the contexts of social phenomena, which he'll often "explain" a naïve understanding of in a condescending tone.

k

I am fine with this

anyone got the full unedited video of this clip? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33WNq45d4tM

i'd argue that tim's lack of indoctrination from higher education has meant that he's more able to inform himself and avoid the biases that are taught to people who go through the degree mill

As soon as you said "alt right dog whistles" I lost interest

dog whistle is a dog whistle

if it's a doggie whistle to the alt right, and you can hear it ...

that means that you're on the alt right.

Yeah lmfao

People don't know what the term even means

`only racists homophones can hear this thing` says the racist homophone

It's just another phrase they use to dismiss ideas without having to actually engage with them critically

it's like how buzzword became a buzzword

Yeah oof

and talking about virtue signalling became virtue signalling in and of itself

it's not one particular side or faction, it's just there are more idiots with lots of free time, i guess.

Hes a troll guys o3o

Hes cool.

How is an "alt right dog whistle" dangerous anyways
As said only other alt righters would be able to hear it
If you're a normal person you wouldn't get the supposed reference
Is it supposed to be some secret brainwashing technique

Oh lol
Still an interesting discussion to have

Alt right whistles are a thing just like alt left whistle are a thing. They draw you that direction

Being a far righter myself, ppl in the center of right are going more right

However far righters are going back more center

How tho
By definition they're disguised phrases to signal to others you share their school of thought, if you're in on it.
"Cheese banana" could be a dog whistle, how does that make an outsider be drawn into my ideology

so no purge?

Maga is a dog whistle

but i've spent the passed six months getting my helicopter pilots license

the media wants you to think maga is a dog whistle

who or what am i supposed to throw out now?

It is technically cause it swoops ppl up to be anti immigration

how tho

Last I checked saying the phrase does not change people's minds on anything

Build a wall less immigrants etc. Have trade wars with other countries

But it has though.

why not a real war?

real wars are more fun

You need to convince them of things
The phrase "make america great again" does not in itself hold any meaning or power and will not convince anyone of anything, mostly because it's an empty statement you can add any meaning to

Companies that are international can cause more damage than actual warsm they are incredibly powerful

well invade those companies then

The meaning has been added and thats the dog whistle
