By far the most common tactic is casually the tossing out the accusation of a "dog whistle" whereby the woke accuser is saying, despite your message being clear I refuse to take it at face value; rather I am going to put words in your mouth that you did not say, and give it credibility by calling what you said a dog whistle.
Thanks Mr Distance for the article. Ideas for future articles:
- Links to more book reviews (I enjoyed the one by John Searle).
- What would a philosopher from the past think of today’s world.
- Did philosophers from the past practise what they preach? What were their home lives like?
Excellent piece. Got some typos in there, needs light editing.

It is curious how the supposed antiracists hear all the racist dogwhistles where no one else does.
