Dog whistle or dog whistle in French, but what can it mean ? It is in fact a
technique often used by the extreme right in order to attract a specific audiencethrough the use of a " coded " message. The speech given will seem normal to themajority but will attract the attention of a specific group. ---- For example, inFebruary 2022 Gérald Darmanin speaks to a journalist saying " Calm down, it'sgoing to be fine " which refers both to a supposed hysteria of women bymasculinist circles but also to a line that had become a meme in the fachosphere.---- This use of suggestive messages makes it possible to obtain the support of agroup by avoiding strong opposition. Another example on the left Fabien Rousselwill spend his campaign talking about meat and opposing " tofu " , a theme dearto the far-right electorate that he wanted to recover. All the criticisms whichwill then be made by the left to this strategy will be ridiculed by the PCF whichwill hide behind gastronomy and " eating well ".In the United States, expressions such as " family values " or " internationalbankers " are used by certain politicians to flirt with the Christian oranti-Semitic electorate respectively.Dog whistles are often difficult to detect for people who are not verypoliticized or who do not know the context around the chosen " dog whistle "well.This makes this technique all the more effective in that it reinforces thefeeling of belonging to a community of values while remaining relatively unknownto the general public and therefore difficult to attack.https://www.unioncommunistelibertaire.org/?Reperages-le-dog-whistle-ca-ameute_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
