I ask myself sometimes: if we use a new word for “something” what does change? …surely there are words that were intended as insults from beginning on. But some words just become insults again if we switch the naming because the concept behind it is an insult rooted in soceiety no?. for example: 1980 “your mother is a whore” ,dont say whore its insulting say prostitute… 2000 “your mother is a prostitute” dont say that… 2026 “yo mama is a sex worker” … no matter how often we name it, the concept is causing it to end up as insult.

maybe a bad example here but anyways

I do advise you to look for news sources as neutral as possible. do not inform your self in any form of echo chamber and then think you are informed. look at topics from all sides. there are good and bad news sources on the whole spectrum. allsides.com or ground.news shows you diffrent approaches to present a topic.

Edit: What I want to add: If you never try to slip into your opponents skin and try to view the world from their perspective, you cannot expect them to do so. This is cruicial for de-polarization and lays the ground for constructive debates.
