    ZOG (usually capitalized) is an acronym standing for “zionist occupied government” tied to white supremacist groups that falls into the usual “Jewish cabal runs everything” nonsense.

      to add to this, with this context, “the zog powder they sell to you” becomes a blantantly antisemitic conspiracy theory: Jewish people are feeding you crap (in this case, gatorade) to keep you weak

      yes it’s ridiculous nonsense, but that’s how dogwhisles work.

        Definitely. On top of that, bullshit like this contributes to the muddy waters when you have legitimate critiques of zionism and the government of Israel. But I’m sure the white supremacists know that when they create this bullshit so they can make potential recruits feel like more people agree with their horseshit.
