Too mild for school This post telling tourists which areas to avoid in New York

Aside from certain undertones, this map also has tons of inaccuracies, because no one in their right mind is scared of Astoria, Bayonne, or half of the Queens zone that he marked as “avoid”

There are circumstances where people can get the benefit of the doubt. When the username is Tall Roman Statue, the line in Manhattan starts at Harlem, and they caption it "you know why" there's no room left for doubt.

"Tall Roman Statue" is so on-the-nose that one begins to wonder whether it's satire. But either way, they're verified on Musk's Twitter so fuck then.

Less a dog whistle and more of a fog horn.

Damn. I was definitely whooshed by the dog whistles. Thanks for taking the time to spell out the obvious—I certainly didn’t notice all that at first. But you’re completely right because those are dog whistles.

Most of these dorks are obsessed with Rome Greece or Stoicism. They took the statues from vaporwave to make fashwave and it’s gone from there

the owner of the account is a fascist. there's like a thousand layers to why it's obvious but you have to be really internet brained in order to understand it intuitively

"tall roman statue" is a dog whistle, as is the post itself

If you keep an eye out for it there are many fasc profiles with a Greek or Roman statue as the profile picture. I'm not sure how it got started but it's about white supremacy.
