Ok, apparently “Lunk Alarm”, which is the title of the comic refers to an alarm at a gym called “Planet Fitness”. The alarm goes off if you drop the weights because some people think it’s aggressive and unwanted behavior.
So the leftist StoneToss character is observing the weightlifter if he drops the weights or not, because dropping the weights is a right-wing dog whistle. Because he doesn’t drop them, the leftist character keeps shut instead of shouting “dog whistle”.
The whole thing is so incredibly specific so thanks for @mr_world for explaining the significance of dropping weights!
I didn't even see the title of the comic but yes. This is very niche and you'd only get it if you knew of 4chan's /fit/ about 10 years ago and/or whatever right wing lifting subs reddit has.
