    Clown is a known anti-semitic dogwhistle, especially when applied to population groups. It’s entered common usage but you really need to stop pushing this dumbass phrase, like we don’t know you’re trying to get a Lemmy version of the hate sub ClownWorld going.

      Clown is a known anti-semitic dogwhistle

      it’s a reference to the common phrase “Put Clowns in the Palace, turn the Palace into a clown show”. Citation: On 4th February (2022), Henry Mance used it with impeccable correctness in the Financial Times: ‘An adulterated Turkish proverb is doing the rounds: “When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn’t become a king. The palace becomes a circus.” Well, a circus would be more organised than whatever happened in the British government this week. We have a broken swing and a clown who barely has enough balls to juggle with. Cirque du Soleil, this is not.’

      you really need to stop pushing this dumbass phrase

      Everyone who disagrees with you you bark “shut up” and call dumb asses I see.

      like we don’t know you’re trying to get a Lemmy version of the hate sub ClownWorld going.

      All hate is bad. That’s the problem with social media clowns, they hide their identity and misinterpret everything because they have zero training in media ecology.

      anti-semitic dogwhistle

      This is directed at all media platforms, not just Levant Bible, Levant Torah, Levant Quran consumers at Mosque, Church, Synagogue who often promote out-group hate against any “non-believers”, “gentiles”, “infidels”.

      I’ve been very up-front and direct, not “dogwhistle”, which you can’t seem to understand and comprehend clear and direct communication that isn’t based on manipulation. All you seem capable of mocking and insulting what you disagree with intellectually. Which is a very common problem in April 2025 on Lemmy social media environment and Reddit social media environment and Bluesky social media enviornment. People who are anti-humanism in favor of technology love.

      My message was VERY CLEAR: “Yes it is, and it’s what Clown Populations do on social machines.” - about social machines, Lemmy users. “We don’t need violence, we need people to humanize media systems and stop dehumanizing people they disagree with and start solving the intellectual problems of society.” is what I said, directing the topic to media systems, Lemmy users.

          Ok buddy dogwhistler

          You have serious media ecology literacy problems of electric media systems. I am not dogwhistling, I’m being as blunt and direct as possible. All you seem to be able to do with serious topics of media ecology is mimic Donald Trump Twitter-think Tweet-length reply with 3-word insults and mocking of truth.

          AS BLUNT AND DIRECT AS POSSIBLE:

          All Hate is Bad

          1954 answer from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr

          “Most people can’t stand up for their convictions, because the majority of people might not be doing it. See, everybody’s not doing it, so it must be wrong. And since everybody is doing it, it must be right. So a sort of numerical interpretation of what’s right. But I’m here to say to you this morning that some things are right and some things are wrong. Eternally so, absolutely so. It’s wrong to hate. It always has been wrong and it always will be wrong. It’s wrong in America, it’s wrong in Germany, it’s wrong in Russia, it’s wrong in China. It was wrong in 2000 B.C., and it’s wrong in 1954 A.D. It always has been wrong, and it always will be wrong.”

           

          Repeating again: My message was VERY CLEAR: “Yes it is, and it’s what Clown Populations do on social machines.” - about social machines, Lemmy users. “We don’t need violence, we need people to humanize media systems and stop dehumanizing people they disagree with and start solving the intellectual problems of society.” is what I said, directing the topic to media systems, Lemmy users.
