Why would people want to live under an authoritarian’s thumb? It’s rooted, experts say, in a psychological need for security—real or perceived—and a desire for conformity, a goal that becomes even more acute as the country undergoes dramatic demographic and social changes.

Dude, context matters. Things can be insulting or not depending of where and when phrase was used. Every smart person understands the intent behind that sentence, and that it was a hyperbole.
Don’t assume other people can’t read context and the intent, because if you do, you’re actually insulting their intelligence
You really typed that out and didn’t see the issue?
People with intellectual disabilities can still use social media, they can still pick Lemmy, and they can still see your comment.

Do you use other slurs like this? Go to a pride parade and start dropping F bombs? BLM protests your just letting the n word fly?

Just stop man. You’re not helping yourself.
Yes they can. Do you suggest they can’t read with comprehension? You’re actually insulting them by implying that they’re too dumb to understand my intent.
I don’t think you know what an f bomb is.
No one cares if you say fuck, people even have it in usernames…
We’re talking about current slurs…
What do you think I meant?
See fuck is the f-bomb.
Maybe you should make up your own new slang
