EDIT: I'm getting some pushback on this, so let me make the following clarification:
If you require candidates to have 5+ years of experience at anything, then the job you are hiring for is by definition NOT "entry level," YOU STUPID ASSHOLE.
@maxleibman It's a #dogwhistle for career jumpers. There are lots of #dogwhistles in corporate recruiting. One of my favorites is, "You would be lucky to have them work for you."
If you're curious about the set of dog-tags that Elon Musk is wearing while he's smirking and telling people "Go fuck yourself", they're from the IDF.
Haven't seen anyone else report on it yet, but Elon Musk, Twitter's Nazi-meme-posting owner, is wearing dog-tags from the Israel Defence Forces. He's making a visible dog-whistle to show support of Israel's genocide in Palestine.
Effrayante réthorique de l'#extremedroite sur l'#antisemitisme.
Je vous épargne un tweet du néo-nazi royaliste qui a créé un parc d'attractions à la gloire de Jésus en #Vendée, il y avance que la recherche des "antisémites d'hier" ralentirait la chasse aux "antisémites d'aujourd'hui".
Traduction : "Arrêtez de chercher des poux aux néo-nazis, les musulmans sont bien plus dangereux."
Avec un #dogwhistle bien placé, il exacerbe l'#islamophobie, et obtient l'amnistie de l'extrême-droite.
Terrible.
Auf dieser Demo in Berlin Kreuzberg gestern wurde der Name 𝗠𝗼𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗶𝗳 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammed_Deif) skandiert. Die Polizei wurde darauf hingewiesen und hat nichts unternommen.
Er ist seit Jahren der meistgesuchte Hamas Verbrecher und Kopf des Militärischen Arms der Hamas.
Das ist eine #dogwhistle für Terrorverherrlichung! Helft das zu ändern und macht ihn bekannt!
Das sollte man lesen, aber es ist kein Nachschlagewerk. Dafür empfiehlt sich dieses Buch: »Vokabular des Nationalsozialismus« von Cornelia Schmitz-Berning. Ich finde, es gehört in jede Bibliothek. Vermeidet die 1. Auflage – da fehlt das Register.
The whole "concerned parents" thing is also a much more bigoted #dogwhistle
It invokes the hegemonic homophobic (literally phobic, fear-centred) view of the 1950s, as shown in this small example of many anti-gay films that were made then.

Do politicians not care about who they associate with anymore or are they just happy to benefit from the #dogwhistle benefit and then just claim ignorance, "I' shake lots of hands, i don't know who most of them are" ?
"Since Reconstruction, reactionary racists had maintained that Black voters would elect lawmakers who would give them benefits that could only be paid for through tax levies on those with property, which generally meant white men. Black voting, they insisted, would lead to a redistribution of wealth and thus was essentially socialism." #votingrightsact#freedommarch#uspolitics
"Actually we're only using #Jews to justify our #racism and #antisemitism since we're too cowardly to admit we'll backstab them once they outlived their usefulness to do anti-muslim hate."
On social media and in politics, people often use the word dogwhistle to indicate that someone is making statements that sound reasonable to an unsuspecting audience, but are worded in a way that those more familiar with the subject at hand have grown to recognize as code for a more extreme opinion.
Beware: In defense, the #dogwhistle is often incorporated in another #logicalfallacy: the Motte and Bailey: feigning innocence by defending a modest stance when caught making an extreme statement.
By today’s Trumpian standards he seems mild. Even Obama praised him. Along with Lincoln, Republicans trot Ronald Reagan out every time Democrats praise their greats: Obama, LBJ, Kennedy, FDR or Truman.
Republicans regularly rate him their greatest after Lincoln.
In reality, the “great communicator,“ as he was called, was an impenetrable facade of congeniality who was hostile to civil rights.
I wonder if #Republicans and other people sympathetic to #racists are so focused on stopping #antiracist#allies from talking about race because they think they'll win if we all have to talk in code like #Reagan and others did?
My very outside-looking-in experience with #BlackMastodon makes me absolutely certain that racists will lose the #dogwhistle arms race. The amount of media that allies of all oppressed people could put out will inundate the sad, tired tropes the MAGA crowd have.
Ahora pronto serán las elecciones, y os volverá a sorprender y doler que vuestros familiares y seres queridos apoyen propuestas radicales de discurso de odio.
Y os preguntáis, ¿Cómo han llegado hasta ahí?
Pues internet tienen un gran peso para la radicalización. ¿Pero como influye exactamente? ¿Qué mecanismos de radicalización online existen? ¿Cualquiera podemos caer?
Si ya has caído en ese agujero de conejo, compartirás prácticas y sentido del humor con la comunidad.
Un buen ejemplo es el memefascismo. Que actúa como #dogwhistle para conectar con otras personas de la comunidad, permitiendo identificar a los otros miembros de la tribu digital.
Estos memes sirven para transmitir contenido simple y tajante que encaja perfectamente en estos discursos.
Classified documents that Trump allegedly stole included details about U.S. defense and weapons capabilities, as well as information about nuclear programs. I don't want to hear another word about "law & order" from Republicans ever again.
