No, it's dog-whistling and hate-mongering.That is obviously entertainment.

I refuse to believe you are that dense.What is it dog-whistling and who are the dogs?
Okay, then I refuse to believe dog-whistle-theory.I refuse to believe you are that dense.
Dog whistling is using language that will land on the people you're aiming for (the 'dogs') without registering with anybody else. Think about how you can blow an ultrasonic whistle and dogs will hear and respond to it but people won't. Same sort of concept.What is it dog-whistling and who are the dogs?
Very interesting. I have come up with this concept in the context of art. What makes a piece camp, kitsch and what makes a piece of true art? It is the multilayered messanging of a piece, that can even signal one thing to one set of the audiance and the abosulte contrary to another set.Dog whistling is using language that will land on the people you're aiming for (the 'dogs') without registering with anybody else.

I could make a post loaded with language that, say, 4chan regulars would understand but your average Facebook user wouldn't. I could encourage all sorts of behaviour under the noses of people who don't get what I'm saying and that would effectively be dog whistling.
If you count like this, then we would already be in WWIV.We are already in WWIII, except it is an information war, not a kinetic war. There will be local skirmishes like Ukraine currently and Taiwan in the near future, but nothing like what we've seen in the past.
That's because you're a tinfoil hat crackpot who believes EHS is real.Okay, then I refuse to believe dog-whistle-theory.
Mmyeah, which sort of sounds clever enough, but then you can speak French without being French. I can see what somebody is trying to hide without being the target audience. I like the turn of phrase though.If only you can hear dog-whistles everywhere... maybe you're the dog.
Every piece of art is a dog-whistle. The question is can you demonstrate your case and does it reveal anything real/interesting.Mmyeah, which sort of sounds clever enough, but then you can speak French without being French.

No it's not. Andy Warhol or Van Gogh, for example, aren't dog-whistling.Every piece of art is a dog-whistle
The term doesn't apply to any hidden meaning, it's meant in a specifically political context.Every piece of art is a dog-whistle. The question is can you demonstrate your case and does it reveal anything real/interesting.
They are. Andy Warhol is a much deeper actor than his tomato soup prints might leave you to believe.No it's not. Andy Warhol or Van Gogh, for example, aren't dog-whistling.
I would challange this. The term does reference a natural phenomenon, and there for should not be coopted only by political thinkers. Dog whistling you have in religion, art, culture. It is all around us. To criticize only political actors like this is dishonest.The term doesn't apply to any hidden meaning, it's meant in a specifically political context.
I don't know what you're trying to say, the term specifically applies to political contexts. Don't forget that you didn't even know what it meant until I explained it to you. I get that you're trying to expand the meaning in a philosophical sense but it doesn't reference a natural phenomenon, it just means using political rhetoric in a way that's deliberately obfuscated from the layperson. I'm not saying hidden meaning doesn't exist in other contexts but the term dog-whistling, if we're keeping it semantic, is purely for political rhetoric.I would challange this.

You're talking nonsense. Dog-whistling has a very specific meaning, the hidden meanings of art predate that by several centuries.They are. Andy Warhol is a much deeper actor than his tomato soup prints might leave you to believe.

Specifically it applies to blowing a whistle to get a reaction from a dog. This phenomenon can and should be applied to religion as well.I don't know what you're trying to say, the term specifically applies to political contexts.
I did, I asked:Don't forget that you didn't even know what it meant until I explained it to you.
What is it dog-whistling and who are the dogs?
The whistle and the dog are natural phenomenons.I get that you're trying to expand the meaning in a philosophical sense but it doesn't reference a natural phenomenon,
What about rhetoric that hides itself behind religion but in reality is political, wouldn't that be even more of a dog whistle?it just means using political rhetoric in a way that's deliberately obfuscated from the layperson.
This might be the current agreement, but I want to challange it, because it blinds people even more, by not seeing the bigger picture. This might very well be the result of deliberate discoursive manoveuring as well.I'm not saying hidden meaning doesn't exist in other contexts but the term dog-whistling, if we're keeping it semantic, is purely for political rhetoric.
So does political 'dog-whistling'. It's way older than the term.You're talking nonsense. Dog-whistling has a very specific meaning, the hidden meanings of art predate that by several centuries.
Except that there was no way to do it until mass media came into existence, so yeah.So does political 'dog-whistling'. It's way older than the term.
