Yeah, maybe we should just do away completely with metaphor, memes, and rhetoric. That will surely be a fun way to live.

But you're right. I wouldn't give my opponent a charitable view if they were saying something like this. Because they have ludicrously more resources than I do and a history of enacting harm.

This isn't a call to violence. That would require a specific group or person to be called out with a plan to cause harm.
