Dog Whistle

As if context doesn't matter. If a Hindu in India has a swastika on his steering wheel it means something different than the engraved wallet some guy at a Right wing rally has in his pocket.

Not to you guys if that hindu was running as a republican. Plenty of people lost their jobs because snowflakes frothed online about that particular dogwhistle.

Its amazing, everything is a dog whistle, just like everything is racist, sexist, etc etc etc

Only when it is

Of course, you are right. What was I thinking? Now you can go back to doing whatever it is you do, like supporting demagogues and rampant nationalism, I mean, what's the worst that ever happened with that...

Those things are best left to...well the Left

Seriously, I got to go... it's been fun

If you actually read who philosophy of fascism and who wrote it, you would realize how stupid you sound.

Hint: Mussolini was not the guy. It was another Italian.

So, his interpretation was what your boy Muss peddled... how does that make it less nationalistic? Lol, must be a PragerU "grad"... go away troll.

You obviously do not read well. Nothing I said about the philosopher Gentile made the claim that as a result of his writing (which you clearly have not read) made Mussolini less nationalistic.

Futher more, are you postulating nationalism is something that manifest only in political ideologies emanating from the Right?

this is a great book as well mate.

Thx Enoch. I'll see if I can find in Prime Reading

No, but it is inherently so. Go order yourself another D'Souza book and pretend you're an intellectual elsewhere.

I assumed you blocked as I don't have the ability to reply.

As far as your blurb on comprehension, I had noted Fascism with my Muss picture, you then apparently thought you were pivoting toward the Right/ Nationalism argument, a possible attempt to head into a whataboutism tirade... so, just to be clear: Nationalism is a part of far right Fascism. It was literally that simple. I didn't see that as groundbreaking.

Now, I'm done here. I have a life. Start an r/pedantics and go wild. A semester of political philosophy and everyone is writing a book in their mom's basement. Ugh

Lol, and then I guess I'm blocked... right after that blathering on "research"... oh man, you guys... Yes, Fascism is typically Nationalistic unless you are some random National-Anarchist... is that a branch of the Libertarian party? IDK, once you enter into these things you are destined to bump into the no true Scotsman I guess...

When the threads get to red bars, that's the end of reply options, so it's not something that anyone controls. A bit uneven and makes no sense, I know.

Never mind the trolls, their lives depend on winning some who knows what.

What? Nationalism is "inherent" to the right? Do you know what inherent means? It means existing in something as a PERMANENT or ESSENTIAL characteristic. If this was true than we should be able to find nationalism in any right of center ideology. Clearly, that is not the case. It seems, once again, you don't understand words you are using.

Also its pretty clear you typed Googled "Giovanni Gentile" and saw some PragerU video come up on page 1. Unfortunately you chose to dismiss historical reality on the basis of you don't like Prager U.

I find this mildly amusing given your SN "ScienceandFreedom". Someone that would have such a respect for science, and therefore an inclination towards intellectual curiosity wouldn't stop his research simply because there is a tangential source he disapproves of.

You're a f**king riot

Blocked? Who blocked you? I don't have the ability.

Okay, guy/gir/zhe you have a severe reading comprehension issue. Lets examine.

I said : "Futhermore, are you postulating nationalism is something that manifest only in political ideologies emanating from the Right?" -- NOTICE I SAID NOTHING ABOUT FASCISM..I ASKED SPECIFICALLY ABOUT NATIONALISM and RIGHT OF CENTER IDEOLOGIES

You responded: "No, but it is inherently so." Meaning your response as I took it, based on what question ACTUALLY ASKED, is that "No nationalism is not solely found in right of center ideologies, but it (nationalism) is inherent.

Your next response says this, and shows you didn't actually understand my first question: "Yes, Fascism is typically Nationalistic "

I did not ask you if "Fascism typically is nationalist". Not even close to what I asked. Fascism requires nationalism to manifest, as in Fascism the State assumes the pinnacle of identity. In fascism there is no other identity for an individual other than the State. So yes, Fascism will necessitate nationalism by the definition of the philosophy. BUT THAT IS NOT WHAT I ASKED IS IT?

On THIS site? You've been here long?

Why is it that only you Democrats can hear this so-called dogwhistle and the rest of can't?

They can read minds, dont'cha know!

I'm registered Independent but it's not minds, it's the ability to read between the lines. Anyway, I'm done here. Best wishes.

WTF is "Registered Independant"? Tell me where one "registers" to be an independant?
Which "Independant Party" do you belong to. I mean, the only "Independant Party" I ever heard of was the American Independant Party...is that the one?

You might want to look that up, you'll be surprised.

I did. I saw nothing about "registered" Independents. I see where if, at a primary in some states, one can cast a vote as an "independent", but nothing about registering as an independent. The only Independent Party I have ever heard of was the American Independent Party, which was what George Wallace belonged to. Hell, I vote independent...I vote for who I believe in, mostly. I admit, I held my nose and voted against Hillary and voted for Trump. Not because I believed in him. I didn't. He PROVED me wrong by doing what he said he would do. If he hadn't been hounded these past 3+ years, he would have accomplished much more.

I don't expect you to change your mind.
I am pretty sure it is shut tighter than a nun's hoo-ha.

No, you did not. "I'm registered Independent" is not "I'm registered as a member of the Independent Party."
Look again, this time in terms of registering as an independent - idependent of any party, no affiliation.

Yeah, that tax cut, way cool promise he kept. Expires this year for the little fellas, btw, not the rich tho. Awesome.

Try looking things up for REAL real, not only as retrofitted to whatever point you're ineffectively making.

yeah....I didn't say that you registered with the American Independent Party.
Why don't you READ what I wrote instead of rushing to post a knee-jerk comment.
I googled " registered independents". I googled how to register as one. Now, why don't you do the same.
Now, piss off.

That's right, you didn't. You said the OP was.
And while agreeing with you, we'll continue on the right track that you have set here, you clever little tool.

Here we go, take notes now:
🔘 READ what the OP said.
🔘 READ what Google said.
🔘 READ what you said.
🔘 READ what I said.
🔘 READ it all again if that's what it takes for it all to sink into that vast expanse of nothingness betwixt your ears.

Oh, and would you like me to piss off in your mouth, or will on your face do?

yeah...I checked the contents of my comments and see nothing about OP. Excuse my ignorance, but I honestly haven't a clue what"OP" means.
I don't need to go back and read the Google results. I certainly don't need to read your drivel again. I can comprehend what I read the 1st time around.
Now, get back to your chosen vocation as a men's room attendant...perhaps you can satisfy your sick fetishes & fantasies there, you little freaky boy.

And here I was thinking you were supposed to be smart or something along those lines.

Just kidding, we know you're not. Do you require translation into Vaudeville terms for you?

Because you have to have a precursory understanding of civil rights, history, and... you know what, I'm sure you already know what's being said but maybe don't like coming to terms with who your agreement, or silence, makes you. That's your problem, not mine. So, later boomer.

Don't condescend to me, you miserable prick. You know nothing, especially about me. You and I have never conversed before, and I make a reasonable comment and I get ad hominum attack from a loser like you.
I have forgotten more about civil rights movement, history, and a host of things than you will ever know. I lived during the civil rights movement, sonny. You weren't even swimming in your pappy's ball sack.

sorry mate..couldn't resist.

i'll just show myself out....

So what? We aren't all dead yet. Based on previous comments, I suspect you are one too.

I just thought it was funny he called you a boomer..as if it was a dig.
and you kinda went off on a cranky old man tirade,confirming you were..in fact..a boomer.

wasn't trying to get in the middle of a catfight,but that part tickled me.
and I figured you wouldn't get pissy over a joke.*can't do that with some people*

I didn't take it as a dig. Honestly, I didn't even see his boomer dig, til just now.

hehe..so my joke probably made zippo sense at first.
ah well..win some..lose some.
appears I struck out.

negative persperation. I didn't take your boomer meme as an insult, just keen observation

good good.
because it wasn't.

When these f**ks try that shit, it's to deflect and get you to waste time defending an empty claim. I'm guessing this is an alt of at least one of: Notabigfan/3rd4tht/Panseptic/stanhalen/jefftrel/blueninja who have all made anti white sweeping generalizations, so screw this hypocrite.

Oh, ha... tough time for you, huh. Well, maybe you can get on the right side of history this time. Your comment wasn't reasonable, I'm not a dem, and you're mad... guess this little meme was worth it... must have struck a snowflake nerve.

You're the only snowflake here, snowflake.

I don't care how you identify yourself as politically. Your actions and words do that for you. As far as " tough times" are concerned, what do you know about tough times? Zip. A "tough time" for you is probably deciding whether or not to go with a man-bun or to wear your hair down.

Oh yes you do. Your constant "you guys" refraining and "Us vs The Them" postering reflect the limits of your miniscule tight spasm of a worldview.

I'd suggest you get off your shitpile and at least be man enough to own what you say, but you can't, so I won't waste my time saying it.

I am speaking directly to you! Not "you guys", you. You're a condescending little snot. I own everything I say and I don't speak in circles. I am direct and don't really give a shit about what you think about me.
BTW, you did waste your time saying it.

You may go now.

~ Swoosh ~

You need to remove your team tee from your head and reread your comments then.

Again. My OP(yeah, I figured it out, you little douche) was, and I quote "Why is it that only you Democrats can hear this so-called dogwhistle and the rest of can't?", and it was a direct response to the meme. ScienceFiction responded about being a "registered independant" and I asked HIM what that was supposed to mean
Then you got involved. I did what you suggested and looked it up. I responded, and your twat got hurt by my response. The rest is history.

You may crawl back into whatever hole you crawled out of. I suggest your mothers.

Oh no, the Russbot struck back by referring to he TrumpDelusionalSyndrome.
What will I ever do?

mother's*

No, silly Russbot, your comments to ME.
Do try again.

Oh no, my mommy? Good suggestion, because I'd fall right out of the vast expanse of a chasm that is your mother's

great...another grammar nazi.

Russbot?? I see you have a mega-case of TDS. Incurable, I would venture to guess. Only one way to cure it.
