When israelis refer to "Arabs" instead of Palestinians, a a code for untermenschen and a form of erasure.

When you blow into a special whistle and a dog hears it and comes to you.
"OwO, what's this?"
How do you pronounce that?
"Hey buddy, if you already know no big deal. But, you know she...sleeps with a blahaj...if you catch my drift."
A friend of Blåhaj
My favorite dog whistle (that went over my head, because I was not the audience for it) was the Subaru "Come out and play" commercial.
If I remember it correctly, the ad was mostly footage of Subaru SUVs driving over rocks and through streams while a voice over talks about the cars' off-road capabilities. The ads would always end with the narrator saying "Subaru invites you to come out and play.”
As a straight man, I always assumed that the commercial was about how much fun it is to drive a Subaru up a mountain. Apparently, I was missing the point. The nature footage was all a distraction to pacify the straights. The real commercial was just the sentence fragment "Subaru invites you to come out". It was meant to say that Subaru supports queer people. It was a resounding success in promoting the 'Subaru driving lesbian' stereotype.
That seems like a big stretch of interpretation, no?
Primus sucks
Or the Frank Mullen hand gesture regardless of what metal gig you are at
Primus sucks is the best answer, came to say.
I think it's an older thing, but lace code. I guess generally on Dr. Martin boots. I'm pretty sure it died long ago, but some people still think it's a thing.
Lace code? Have I been unintentionally sending a signal with my laces? I just kept the laces the way they were when I bought my boots...
White == White power
Red == Killed for the white power movement
Yellow == Anti-fascist
Ceationists calling it "intelligent design" rather than creationism
A creationist I worked with never used that word. He always described himself as "not an evolutionist" - I think he was trying to paint creationism as normal and evolution as the fringe.
While there are definitely some non-nazi creationist, man, creationism is its own right wing agenda. Louise Agasazzi was a fucking racist piece of shit, and hated Darwinism because he thought all the "races" had a different origin. And then contemporary Creationists have their very ownMike Johnson who's an author on the Answers in Genesis website. And Answers in Genesis itself is a Nationalist alt right political organization. Creationism is just excuse for them to hate the gays, the trans, and the abortors.
So yeah, I guess they aren't technically Nazis...they are cut from the same cloth. They may not goose step, but they sure like carrying water for the goose steppers.
I used to swear by ACME brand dog whistles. But since I've got into 3D printing, there's so many options. They also cost little to nothing to print. I haven't found a favourite one yet though, so if anyone has any suggestions, let me know.
I don't have a suggestion, but do you have a recommendation?
Its not so much a dog whistle but in Quebec whether you say "sovreignist" or "seperatist" indicates your camp.
Like Caesar or Kaisar in Fallout New Vegas.
