`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
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
bish bash bosh
Like climate change is also a dog whistle
Its a simple.phrase that gets ppl to change their minds
So because some people associate a certain meaning to the phrase that means the phrase itself can convince others to join in on that meaning?
Not last time I checked. If I associated my dog whistle "cheese banana" with slaughtering all people who dislike cheese or bananas, that does not then mean that saying that phrase to someone else will brainwash them into agreeing with me.
Associating meaning with a phrase does not give that phrase some sort of magical property
It takes time to associate a word to something. Racial slurs are a perfect example. People are convinced certain phrases mean something.
one thing to keep in mind here is that there are lots and lots of brain-dead morons out there who just absorb narratives like sponges absorb water.
There are some racal slurs that were normal words like faggot
It used 2 be ciggarates
Eh, true I guess
even if there is no rational reason to believe a phrase has power, enough morons give it power
Like if I say ni
