Btw...kinda late isn’t it?

Yeah it is. Those dog whistles keep me up.

Imho, if western is a dog whistle rather depends on overall context than solely on the word itself.

Eg. taking issue with a western legacy of violence against Asians rings a bit different than expressing a need to defend western culture against Ilhan Omar. 
Not that nuance matters much in a black and white society, no pun intended. It's all about making a point against some disliked groups or ideologies. It goes both ways and these are tiresome debates, guess I'd rather actually go to sleep then.
