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

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.

  My point was that they could be used in an apolitical podcast to send the signal to the in-group (aka. The right wing). They don’t necessarily sound political to someone who doesn’t know what they mean.
