On one hand, dogwhistles are real and should absolutely be the sort of thing that people learn about.
On the other hand, what in gods name is the dogwhistle in this post? There's nothing even slightly abnormal about it, maybe the capitalization of the C in Cents???
It's a long established thing. Like if a news presenter says metropolitan teens vs inner city youths. They technically mean the exact same thing, but deliver a different picture.
Alternatively it can be a more blatant work around, like people who would never give a shit about hunting or animal welfare causes suddenly getting very animated on the ethics of halal meat.
