“pattern noticing” is an antisemitic dog whistle about “noticing a pattern that all influential people are Jewish”. The wording of it resonates with neurodivergent people who don’t hear the dog whistle part so it’s been doing the rounds. Not your fault that conservatives ruin innocent phrases
Of course fascist would find a way to co-opt something so innocuous, I hate living through trying times. Thanks for the explanation, I would’ve never figured that out.
It was the former, it used to be ‘flamingos can’t draw’ (my Masto still uses it), but I shortened it to flamingos-cant because I like how it looks more. But now you’ve pointed me to what a cant is, I think I like the second one more.
What?

AuDHD here; sorry you found out this way. 😔
I too notice patterns unrelated to dogwhistles, and then go nap time. Brain’s literally wired to keep the clan safe through the night.
For unrelated question; is your username referring to things flamingos are incapable of, or a language spoken by flamingos (ie, thieves cant in DnD)?

I’ve noticed a pattern of antisemitism helping the ruling class distract workers from their own evil practices 🤓
