The capital letters imply “1488” and the post is 14 words long, both of which are well-known nazi dog whistles.

    Why do we strain so hard to find hidden messages when the truth is staring us in the face- it looks like a bunch of white folks following some supposedly divine decree to drive natives off their homeland, selfishly displacing and decimating the bison population while theyre at it, claiming that’s some sort of heritage to be proud of. I dont need to count words or notice weird capitalization to know some twatwaffle who celebrates the absolute worst and overtly racist parts of colonizing north america posted this

      It’s not explicitly a painting of the Trail of Tears, but it was painted about 40 years after that dark chapter of our history, and it features White Americans chasing Native Americans into the darkness, so it’s hard to imagine that anyone who likes the painting isn’t at least okay with the Indian Removal Act. Best case scenario, they don’t know their history. Worst case scenario (I think there’s pretty good evidence that we’re here), they want to do it again.

      It’s honestly barely even hidden, if you’re familiar at all with neo-Nazi ideology, tendencies, and meme patterns. It’s important to know one’s enemy.

      Yeah, the right wing can hardly count, I very much doubt they’re sending secret messages through poor capitalization.

        Honestly TBH, they love that kinda shit. Secret societies, handshakes, codes and all that rot. They love knowing things other people don’t know (as long as they’re like, super easy things. None of that math and science bullshit).

      Mostly: yes.

      Note: it isn’t selfish to destroy the bison population, it’s fucking stupid. It’s anti-selfish. It’s moronic.
