I think this is a disingenuous line of argument, more often than not. Popperian science is great, but it is not everything. The majority of our opinions, knowledge and conclusions are not based on testable hypotheses and falsifiable statements.
Take the sentence "One person should not have absolute power." It's not a falsifiable statement, or scientific in other ways. It's based on anecdote and folk wisdom, not science.
I agree with you. And, I think we need to argue back. But, don't argue meta. Meet the arguments head on.
