   When one uses an identity as an insult that identity loses all meaning behind it.

     @BlackStag What identities are you referring to? This doesn't apply in any case I can imagine, like 'Queer'.

     @MakBerberovic it is mostly referring to political identities. For example right wing nut jobs will use the word communist or socialist to refer to anyone left of trump.

     @BlackStag I see.

     Call me an elitist but people who can't tell you what a concept is don't get to decide its meaning.

     If people are more than half a century behind on their understanding of anything be it science, health, civics, politics, etc., we are right to just say 'hush, the adults are talking'.

     @MakBerberovic fair enough
