This is as profound-sounding as it is nonsensical in meaning. Let's say I see someone online make a comment that in its phrasing and word choice is an obvious allusion to the Fourteen Words. If I manage to pick up on it, does that make me a neo-Nazi supporter who agrees with that phrase? Are you saying that only the target audience can pick up on subtexts made for them? This is absurd.
