  14 and 88 are Nazi dogwhistles. 14 words, linked in elsewhere. and then H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, so 88 = HH = heil hitler

    Not knowing about some niche thing qualifies it as a woooosh? Should it not be sometime rather obvious?

      Identifying nazis should never be niche.

        The whole point of a dog whistle is so people don’t catch on. It’s not obvious until you know.

        And yet it is, and making fun of them without explaining anything doesn’t help with that.

        You’re phrasing it like they’re campaigning to keep the dogwhistles hidden. They just didn’t know a thing.

      The fact that you think it’s some niche thing is a testament to the failure of the American education system, don’t blame your idiocy on , you have all the information available to you in your hand right now

        This kind of USA centric thinking never fails to astonish me.

      Tbf, it’s been explained a few too many times all over social media in comments that feel copy-pasted from one thread to another. Maybe that’s why they think it’s not niche?
