        I don’t know if I should. Because a dog whistle’s nature entails that they’re so very easily excusable as misunderstandings and “not what I meant at all, gosh golly” and conversations with people who use them devolve into shouting matches EVERY TIME and I don’t know if I’m up for that right now.

          You can’t just claim to see something nobody else has any idea what you’re talking about and then not elaborate on what you mean.

          Dog whistles are commonly known and when searching for them the first thing which will usually pop up is an explanation of the dog whistle.

          Unless you’re implying it’s antisemitic to relate Israel to mass surveillance and spying I’m not sure what angle you’re going for.

            I am not implying that. I’ve known since EARLY LIFE the difference between what people do and what a government does.

              so you meant antizionistic? in which case you can say that out loud. the difference is that zionism (the behaviour) is something that its perpetrator willingly chose to perform, can regulate and can be both bad and criticized.

              semitism (an act of being a jew) is not something you control and not something that would hurt anyone and is therefor considered shitty move to criticize and attack in civilized society.
