    Heads up: the lightning bolt emoji, especially when doubled, is used as a neo-Nazi dogwhistle.

        While I'm here, some other dogwhistles I know about:

        • I've learned that "totally great day", "totally nice day", and "totally joyful day" are used as dogwhistles for "total Gypsy* death", "total n****r death", and "total Jewish death"
        • "never lose your smile" is used by neo-Nazis as a reference to the Totenkopf
        • This one's pretty obvious but neo-Nazis also often say "juice" instead of "Jews"

        *"Gypsy" is not a preferable term, but opinions on it are split and nuanced among Romani people, so I've opted not to censor it.


        how do you do these symbols ❗️

        Dunno

          Sweet I have never encountered these before. Seem similar to "keep yourself safe" in tone and style though.

    If you squint, the lightning emoji looks like bowtie pasta, and thats why im upvoting.
