Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

but as is it looks innocuous

That’s-… Uhh… That’s the entire fucking point of dogwhistles. They’re visible to the people who are in-the-know, to quietly signal support. But they fly under the radar for anyone who isn’t looking for them. It creates a layer of plausible deniability. If anyone challenges them on it, they can go “Oh I’m not a Nazi, I just grabbed a random stock photo. I didn’t know what that means.”

While I agree that an FCC fine would be odd, it’s not out of the realm of possibility to assume that someone on the production knew what it means, and quietly slipped it in. But again, due to the plausible deniability, they can all just deny responsibility and move on.
