The ADL is a joke of an organization. Professional bullies.

This is just a Q-anon level conspiracy theory. The ADL has a database full of “hate symbols” that nobody uses or some random person on the internet used one time. It’s a joke and the ADL uses it to bully other groups and people into silence.

Do you also believe Walmart is marketing chocolate cookies to hate groups or is the price an unfortunate coincidence when they do it? https://www.walmart.com/ip/President-s-Choice-The-Decadent-Chocolate-Chunk-Cookie-300g-10-6-oz-Canadian/2635043490 https://www.walmart.com/ip/President-s-Choice-The-Decadent-C...

  How many products does Walmart sell, though? I don't think they advertise on 'right side broadcast network', which also inexplicably advertises 'Trump combat knives' during his rallies.

    You can't accuse something of being a dog whistle only when Person A says it, but not Person B. It either is or isn't. To do otherwise would be applying a double standard.

      I feel like you're missing their point. The person you're replying to made a convincing argument that differentiates Person A and Person B by considering the fraction of products sold and how that affects the probability of the null hypothesis (using that price by chance). That's not a double standard.

      Well, I'm not the person who posted about it in the first place, but on their behalf I disagree. There's a rather obvious difference between between a retailer who sells many thousands of products (where pricing decisions are made across broad categories and likely automated) and one that just markets a single product. I don't think Lindell is a nazi, but I also don't feel sorry for him for having to fend off such accusations, since he is an enthusiastic trafficker in conspiracy theories in his own right. He could make the non-troversy go away any time by changing the price to some similar number, but probably sees it as free advertising.

He’s also selling pillow cases for $24.98. Which secret hate symbol is that one?
