That’s a few steps beyond dog whistle.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago

Regular whistles work on dogs too!

[–] [email protected] 54 points 8 months ago (2 children)

absolute cowards refusing to show their faces

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

The one on the right, definitely, but I think the one on the left is the coward's child / victim Edit: looking again, I think they're both children

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Fair point - if they are a child, likely they had no choice or real understanding

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I knew some pretty racist kids growing up

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Kids are taught racism. They don't know any better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

In my school system, we were also taught that racism was wrong and why. There were a few kids in high school who did not care about those lessons.

[–] QuantumSparkles 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

To be fair children are going to internalize what’s taught in their household by their parents and family members far more easily than what’s in school, especially when those teachings are reinforced by their peers, friends, authority figures, local culture…

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't buy the narrative that kids can't be assholes too. When does it become fair to blame someone for their views? On their 18th birthday when they become a real human?

[–] naught 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They share an increasing portion of the blame until they are about 25ish and have their whole brain

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Okay, what if you have a high schooler who is racist and remains racist throughout their life? Were they to blame in highschool or only when they become 25? I ask because some of the people I went to highschool who seemed shitty are still shitty.

[–] naught 3 points 8 months ago

I dunno it's realistically a case by case thing with a trillion shades of gray. Some people really just never had a chance whether they are 18 or 55 but they always bear some varying degree of blame for their shittiness

So why are you living in a fundamentally white supremacist society, then?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Can you just say what you're driving at? I'm obviously saying that people rejected this teaching so your statement is pretty confusing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Trying to have a discussion with masquenox is like bashing your head against a stubborn, obtuse brick wall, without the joy. They are just a giant time-suck contrarian that will argue everything in bad faith. Best to ignore if you value your sanity.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks for that. Honestly I kind of got that from the two replies I read lol

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Can you just say what you’re driving at?

What I'm driving at is that I don't think your school really taught you anything about white supremacism - they merely taught you enough about it so that they (and you) can pretend that they did.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that none of your teachers actually took any time to explain to you what "white" even is.

So they didn't?

Did you know?

[–] prettybunnys 4 points 8 months ago

They both appear to be “child size”

[–] Lucidlethargy 33 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

This is just racism, it's not a dog whistle. Those are racists.

Edit: important clarification: the child is not old enough to condemn as a racist. At best, he can only parrot racism. I assume the other is not a child, but they might be... Hard to tell when they're hiding behind creepy masks.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I was hoping that maybe this was just a Photoshop of someone standing next to a white sign. Unfortunately it appears to be real.

Other similar signs reference the group Slavic Storm. The same group hung a banner a few days ago in Manchester, New Hampshire.

Slavs being Nazis is funny since Hitler considered them subhuman. Do they pretend that part doesn't exist?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They aren’t known for their deep thinking.

[–] slackassassin 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This mf just out here agreeing with hitler.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I was referring to Nazis not being known for their deep thinking.

[–] slackassassin 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This mf just out here not seeing the humor in the ambiguity they presented.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Okay, that one was funny.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Look up the story of the conservative Mexican family who moved to Idaho to be among Conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Remember the whole in-group / out-group dynamic of conservatism? A lot of conservatives imagine themselves to be much deeper into the in-group than they are.

[–] fsxylo 4 points 8 months ago

Most Nazis from the groups Nazis hate are petty, nasty people and can only find companionship with people who hate their guts.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't expecting Nazis in Crocs.

[–] QuantumSparkles 1 points 8 months ago

They’re the new jackboots. All the rage in certain circles

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago

That's not a dog-whistle.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So, Jesus is a racist pedo?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Nah, it's not racist to have a preferred race for sexing. He's just a regular pedo.
