It's a fascinating read, but I didn't quite get the connection either. I can see how the quote can be understood as "submission of the individual to the State", but that's far from the only way I can see to take it.

It could certainly be a dogwhistle, but I'm also curious about the connection.

And, just to sort of add on, I'm not saying they shouldn't have shared it. In case anyone interprets it sort of sarcastically like "UM WHY'D YOU INCLUDE THIS? HOW IS IT RELEVANT???"
