You've been entertained by black face your whole life / Dog Whistling as a Modern Satanic Backmasking Moral Panic / Hating your Flag

"You've been entertained by black face your whole life. Don't pretend it's a problem now."

This is a take on the disingenuous liberal defence of drag claiming a false equivalence between historic drag and contemporary drag shown to kids (and which ignores the fact that many past drag examples are now denounced as transphobic). This one went through on iFunny but I foresee it getting censored one day, and anyway I want to post the origins of the images.


Rachel Gilmore @atRachelGilmore: "In white nationalist circles, 1488 is a signal — 14 for the 14 words, 88 for the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, twice.
That's for He*l H*tler.
Given Musk has previously shared he has 24.7k subscribers, why does his profile now say 88?
Right next to 144.5?
Concerning!"

This is a good illustration not just about how Blue Anon works, but how the liberal obsession with dog whistling is just the modern version of the moral panic over Satanic backmasking. Reading "Heil Hitler" into Elon Musk's Twitter profile is some next level madness.


"(Edit— It was an American flag, as the emoji was meant to indicate, everyone can stop injecting their own made up scenario now.)
"My husband is coming out. Green pants black shirt"
"I'm sorry to have wasted your time. The chair was lovely, but the flag made us uncomfortable. Good luck in selling! And if it doesn't by the end of the week, please let me know. Cheers""

A new low in liberal fragility (which results in projection and accusing others of white fragility). Of course, we're still told that liberals don't hate their countries.
