I mean... this is a very real phenomenon, but probably not in the way you're thinking of.
There are many simple statements of fact that, 15 or 20 years ago, were as universally uncontroversial as "the sky is blue", but today are considered radically controversial political opinions, and will get you banned for most online platforms if you dare utter them.
- amrocha 10mo agoNo, I don’t think that’s true, and I don’t think you could produce a single example. Keep in mind that stating a fact and dogwhistling are not the same thing.
- bakugo 10mo agoExactly, you don't think it's true because you don't believe they're facts, you've been radicalized into believing they're "dogwhistles" (a term only used by radicalized people, by the way - if you keep hearing dogwhistles, you might just be a dog.)
- amrocha 9mo agoStill not hearing any examples, just ideology!
- could-of 10mo agoCan you list some specific examples? Do Wikipedia articles on these topics adhere to the facts, or do they take a political stance?
