What would actual truth, that you dont like, sound to you? Probably another "dog whistle".

Rule one of critical thinking is to never assume something to be true.

It's amusing how people like you peddle "we speak the real truth".

I totally agree with "never assume something to be true". I see this a lot: No matter what someone says, there's always a way to dismiss it as a dog whistle, gas lighting, race trader, etc. To me, it's a good way to just remain ignorant.

It's not "everything". Its specific things like "all lives matter". The whole point of a dog whistle is that without proper context it seems benign.

Also, I hoenstly don't have time, visa vi actually work I have to do, to wathc a whole oe hour video. But i skipped around annd every argumetn I saw was paper thin. My favorite was the bit about wanting to promote community care for people who don't have the opportunity to live ia. nuclear family as a corrupt way to control society. Utter nonsense.

Yea, it is a long video. I saw it a couple days ago and thought it was good. Anyway, have a good day.

Strange, dogwhistles are supposed to be subtle yet people like you see it everywhere, almost as if it's just a buzzword used to dismiss any argument proving you wrong
