Is calling people 'brother' a right-wing dogwhistle?

Seems like this is becoming loaded term, at least in lib chitholes. A few months ago i had some repairmen at my place and a girl i was seeing was here too. When they left they said 'have a good day brother' and the girl repeated it after they left--seemed like she was sneering a bit. Plus the whole 'hell yeah brother' meme online.

I still say thanks brother to people sometimes if i feel like they aren't cucks cause it seems more genuine than bro

thots?

In the 80’s it was used regularly. That’s why Hulk Hogan said it on tv because it was cool, hip, edgy back then.

Union people say this to each other. Unions are typically left wing communist politically. So this is pretty funny to see.

Yep.

It's a kind thing to say to someone. Definitely a sign of respect.

It's also common among Christians, and that's the most heavily Christian part of the country.

The only left wing communist members in a union are the managers, business reps etc. The ones who are responsible for spending your union dues on left wing communist politics. The actual workers are typically level headed conservatives unless it’s a low test cuck area like Seattle/california. Alpha conservatives (that redundancy) call each other brother instead of saying bro like a *******.

Unions are a 100% communist concept. Its members can be socially conservative but still be part of a communist organization. Most communists are actually Very conservative socially btw. Do you see trannies or the lgbtq lobby running wild in communist cuba or Russia or china?
