It seems that “dog whistling” is a non contextual argument. If you don’t like someone, you can imply that what they’re writing has all manner of hidden meanings.

Kinda like an awful high school literature teacher.

Of course but when many people agree on the same hidden meanings, you surely have to consider that they might be there.
