Leftists have created a control grid in which they are empowered to declare 1) all of your innocuous statements are coded dog whistles intended to promote metaphysical evil while 2) all of their overtly evil statements are ironic and hyperbolic satire intended to promote unassailable good.
Pretty easy to win debates when you give yourself the power to redefine all of your opponents’ arguments as de facto wrong and all of your own arguments as de facto correct. Your violence is speech, their speech is violence, etc.
This systematic destruction of language, discourse, and debate is the true origin of the helicopter meme, btw. When your enemy deliberately grenades the very concept of discussion, you’re not left with many options.

Helicopters are a meme only because they're less economically efficient than walling off the cities and waiting for the inevitable.
