    I guess dog whistles are a thing of the past? People can just go around saying whatever they want and not have to worry about being shamed for being openly racist. Like internet comment sections have spilled out into real life.

      We don’t use dog whistles because we aren’t racist pieces of shit.

      They don’t use dog whistles because they prefer to be honest about their racism.

      They are not the same.

      Shamed by who? Yeah we’re there because people have silo’d their lives to be with others like them, both online and offline. Used to be you didn’t talk about those things, regardless of how you felt, now it’s taken over a lot of people’s lives.
