Power is the end-all, be-all for activists on the polarities. Always has been. They don’t care about the downstream societal effects of dehumanizing rhetoric as long as when the dust settles, they're the ones setting the agenda.

Superb.
There is no equivalence here , although the author tries to argue that there is.
2 people are to share a cookie.
1 says “you split the cookie in half and i get to choose my half”
The other says “no”
Then the 1st offers to “split the cookie and You choose your half”
Again to which the 2nd says “no.”
There is no doubt the 2nd is unreasonable and unfair.
Any honest ref watching will call a foul on the 2nd. And anyone who defends the 2nd is foul.
It’s not debatable.
