anyways i think ive posted this before but the ADL and whatever "rational wiki" is (heard something negative abt it once idk what its about but) both have good index's on dogwhistles to look out for, of course for some things its hard to tell but take context clues and if they use a bunch of other dogwhistles into consideration if you suspect someone is alt right, also consider that some people are essentially taught this stuff w/o context of what it really means sometimes and might just use dogwhistles bc they dont know any better (thinking of minors here mostly). either way gauge for yourself if its safe enough to stick around to find out.

#dogwhistles #theres plenty of other websites i could link but i linked rational wiki specifically bc their index is bigger and includes more #niche internet dogwhistles than the adl one does.#that could also be because a lot of those niche internet dogwhistles are intentionally made with plausible deniability so the ADL #doesnt wanna list them lest they get accused of being paranoid or some shit. idk.#but i *will* say- some of these things isolated- like liking runes and pine trees.... i dont think is enough to work off of #(mostly speaking for myself on that last one bc i love pine trees and i used to like runes but never saw it in That way......)#and also some ppl are trying to reclaim pepe. esp since the guy who made it hated that neo nazis took him and did this to him #so ppl try to reclaim it. that also requires context to sleuth out if someones using it as a dogwhistle or not #in fact bc so many leftists were reclaiming pepe they decided to make a new one called a 'groyper' which is like. an obvious telltale sign #that person is a neo nazi if theyre using that one.#i also think its worth mentioning that theres a certain subsection of internet leftists who like to use these internet alt righters #terms to lure them in to truth and reality (see: vaush) it's like a meeting them at their level of understanding thing #it also shows them that you're not intimidated by their 'Secret Language' and can see it for what it is so if they try it on you #you can still counter them. so once again context matters. like if vaush is talking about someone 'hiding their power level' its him #acknowledging that thats a term they use in reference to hiding how deep in the rabbithole they are and making fun of them for that fact #bc theres something so inherently sad and funny about being that self aware that you're deranged that you gotta have a phrase you #use to hide it lmao.#not saying its great but. it seems to work at least to some degree in deconverting ppl from the alt right
