  • Using “diversity” or “inclusive” as a bad word.

    Using 88 without reason (or 1488).

    There’s also people using the term “Monday” to refer to black people. (So they can say “I hate Mondays” and stuff without it being immediately obvious).

    “Those [kinds of] people” is another pretty transparent one.

    In Canada, there was “traditional Anglo-Saxon words”, lol

    None of these seem apolitical to me. I would associate most of these with right wing philosophies. I was specifically looking for examples of apolitical dog-whistles.

    One thing that shouldn’t be ignored is most UBI proposals remove the current means-based welfare in the USA. So, as many people go on the UBI list, many others would disappear off the welfare lists, which means there probably wouldn’t be as much disruption as you are expecting. If the UBI is implemented as a negative income tax, some people’s net may change even less.
