That dog whistle was flawed characters, including a racist, being portrayed realistically and people feeling uncomfortable that the movie didn't go: RACIST BAD. Let's all bury our heads in the sand. Two people riding off to possibly kill an innocent man=redemption story. Okay.
You just said "how to deal with them." That's the whole thing. I don't think it's doing anything or commenting on anything. The mere presentation of the absence of cookie-cutter messaging isn't thematic commentary. It's just anti-messaging.

And you don't need to tell me McDonagh "makes dark movies." I"m a super fan of his since his theater work in the late 90s.

Which is why I'm so fucking confused by some his approach of his last two films.

That's fair. I mean, for me the movie worked and presented itself well I think, but I can understand why it didn't for you.

What do you make of Harrelson's letter to Rockwell? To me that was the clearest piece of thematic messaging in the movie, diagnosing the core of Rockwell's issues as toxic masculinity/homophobia.
