Comment on Are there any good, apolitical right-leaning podcasts out there?

  Dog whistles are political, but they don’t sound political. They could be used in apolitical podcasts to signal the host’s political affiliation without explicitly stating it.

    OK, what’s an example of one?

      Using “diversity” or “inclusive” as a bad word.

      Using 88 without reason (or 1488).

      There’s also people using the term “Monday” to refer to black people. (So they can say “I hate Mondays” and stuff without it being immediately obvious).

      “Those [kinds of] people” is another pretty transparent one.

      In Canada, there was “traditional Anglo-Saxon words”, lol

        None of these seem apolitical to me. I would associate most of these with right wing philosophies. I was specifically looking for examples of apolitical dog-whistles.
