This is the inescapable corollary that follows “language as nothing more than passwords”. People who make discourse impossible are leaving you with only two options: your annihilation, or theirs.
A lot of cultures - many of them non-white - hold language to be purely transactional. For these people, communication is not a collaboration between two people seeking cooperation, mutual understanding, or truth. Instead, much of the non-white world see discourse as nothing more than a series of passwords that generate desired outcomes. There’s no legitimate argument or even meaning (definition) behind the words, nothing beyond “I say x, then I get y”.
You see it at the border: I said “refugee”, so now I get in, I get free stuff, etc. In truth, you’re just an illegal opportunistic economic migrant, but you’ve some demon working for an NGO gave you the password.
You see it in police interactions: I said “I can’t breathe”, so now they can’t detain me, can’t restrain me, etc. Now the police are victimizing you, brutalizing you, and you deserve freedom (from a complicit leftist activist in a black robe) and a payout (from complicit leftist activists posing as city councilors).
This dynamic dovetails nicely with the inherent subversions of Marxism, an ideology which fundamentally and deliberately undermines all discourse with blatant redefinitions and power games. That’s why so many non-white minority groups find allies among the left; they are both using language purely as a tool to extract resources and compliance from their (mostly white) victims.

That's only how they behave in the West, because like Skinner's pigeons, they pressed the lever and got the goodies. Rest assured that this does not work in their home countries.

This is a brilliant way of phrasing this that I've never seen before. I'll probably end up stealing it in the future.
That's just rhetorical warfare, in a slightly more obscure way.
Insightful post.

They wouldn't have tried if it didn't work in their home countries
Shits just easier here
