Can you please explain what you mean by 'disgusting alt-right vocabulary'? After your comment I read his post twice and didn't find anything remotely political.

> Nitter.net is a Twitter proxy that mirrors Twitter, but without Javascript soyware and spying. With "soy" here being an old dogwhistle that refers to the "theory" that men are being feminized through the estrogen contained in meals that have soy as ingredient.

  You are offering significant interpretation here. Note the adjaceny if 'o' and 'p' on the QWERTY. 'Soyware' is possibly a simple 'spyware' typo. I know neither you nor The Famous Article's author, but your remark does not instill confidence in your judgement.

    It's not a typo, the author also uses this on their YouTube channel.

      by definition a dog-whistle. something which can be innocently handwaved away by those not attuned, but sends a clear signal to those capable of reception.

  >disgusting alt-right vocabulary I am unconvinced that a "dogwhistle" that is a word play on spyware is truly disgusting and clearly alt-right. And with all due respect, why make a personal snarky attack because of 1 word?

    Because Luke Smith is not shy to express his alt right political views both on his website and his YouTube channel. As long as he's free to do that, I'm free to criticize it.

      I would completely agree on that, if his general blog would be what was posted. But this is an unrelated informative article, which is why I don't think discrediting critique of the person is valid. Especially since the 'offenses' seem impressively minor in this case.

        I agree that this is an unrelated article, but he opened this can of worms himself by inserting dogwhistles in it. Which is unfortunate, because the information in there is actually useful and something I would gladly link in the "Library" section of my blog. But I can't do that now, otherwise I'd be platforming speech that wants me dead.

        Would you care to explain to me how "consooome" and "soyware" imply your death? In my vocabulary those are a joking reference to overconsumption and a play on bad software that serves as spyware, which social media sites arguably often are imo. If you argue that you associate these words with people that want you dead it would seem to me that that is your narrow personal perspective. I certainly don't want you dead.

I think they refer to terms like consoooom and soyware which are not political, but can be connected to 4chan and therefore to the alt-right. It's a bit of a strech if this is the first time you heard of Luke Smith, but generally he's not shy to express his political opinions on the far right of the spectrum. Which is a shame, because otherwise there's a lot I can agree with him on.
