The thing about dogwhistles is that they are designed to communicate to like-minded people in a way that can be explained awatly while also making anyone that is attuned to them to sound crazy if they try to point them out. Remember the white-power/ok symbol? The milk emoji? Pepe the frog? Marble statues?

I can tell you right now that, based on what you're saying, you'd almost definitely consider me to be a Nazi.

I don't consider myself to be a Nazi, I'm nowhere near the historical defintion of a nazi, or even it's modern reinterpretation. But I am 100% sure that given maybe 2 or 3 more messages, you'll call me one.

So we can end it here. I've outed myself, through various "dog whistles", that I am in fact a "nazi". And therefore there's no need to reply to me.

I accept being put on a list. Real name is in my profile.

    You're reading an awful lot into what I wrote.

    I don't even know what to answer to this. I have no idea where this is coming from.

    Who's putting you on what list?

    I honestly have no idea what this reply has to do with anything, unless you are arguing that dog whistles don't exist? If so, there are a few "modern Nazis" that disagree with you.

      Maybe I can be more clear

      - marble statues are cool

      - pepe the frog is right coded, but has been used in all sorts of contexts

      - milk emoji.. I don't even get this one. wasn't it a software developer meme on X?

      - It's 100% OK to be white, and I will die in this hill. Anyone who tells me how I was born is not OK can die in a fire.

      We're now 2 replies deep. Would you just like to denounce me as a "nazi" and get this over with? We both know that's where this is going.
