I think the main concern is that you created your account just to post this, and it can be interpreted as politically opinionated. In today’s social media climate, one needs to be fairly sceptical when it comes to this kind of stuff. Having said this, I confirm that this excerpt comes directly from the report.

    Could be worse. If it was godsplan2, He would have made a mistake ;-)

You can see how that might be seen as a dog whistle.
- LudwigNagasena 6y ago
  If you perceive something as a dog whistle, it doesn't mean others think so too or that author intended it that way. You have to be understanding. If something seems "off" to you, try to be more open-minded, we live in a multicultral society.

    This runs both ways though. At the same time though we should be mindful of our actions and words, as much as possible. If there is a way of saying something that would not be perceived as a dog whistle, then choose those words. This is hard though because our own experiences mean we might not always see right away what is offensive to others, but we should try.

      Don't factually quote something because somebody might get offended on behalf of somebody else? Riight...Best of luck with that.

        "OP" here.. I'm not shooting the quoter, I'm questioning if the original article writers have some sort of sneering attitude when they wrote that...

  The concept of 'dog whistling' is bogus. You can only hold people accountable for what they say, not what you think they might be 'signalling'.

    You can’t define sophisticated behaviour out of reality, unfortunately. “Dog Whistle” exists just as other coded forms of communication exist - to pass targeted private messages in public, with some plausible deniability.

    People make use of Steganography all the time. The practice of using associations to communicate different messages to two groups is not at all exterordany

But how does the captain's last words tell you anything about his focus or confidence? There seems to be no reason to quote those words.

  I think you are being overly sensitive. He picked a quote from the article.

  Its right there in the sentence if you go past your own interpretation of the sentence .. "The crew was overconfident and not focussed" Because they were talking about Corona and ignored the instructions .. Why are you so fixed by the use of word "Allah" .. I really dont see how it should bother anyone
  - spuz 6y ago
    I really don't see what you are suggesting. Saying "oh my god" does not at all seem unusual or to suggest that the captain was overconfident or distracted or unfocused. It seems about as ordinary a detail as you could imagine. That is why it's such a strange thing to mention. You may as well have say the captain was wearing a uniform and hat for all the relevance I can grasp.
