Agreed .. but it's also kind of meaningless. Which it my point. It's an emotion generating word. Not a "communicating an idea or concept" word. So when it's said it's only ever really used to make you react emotionally.
But you can only get so worked up with only one "hate" word. To continue the cycle they gotta add new ones to keep you keyed up.
The right doesn't care about the idea or concept, if they found out that blurting out the meaningless phrase 'Blaguoasrunt' at a loud volume triggered people, they would do it, it would catch on, and people would make merchandise about it.
Regressive communications are the death of meaning, and I do not mean that casually. They take words and abuse them so much that everyone else stops caring about the word, regardless of what it meant before.
The word 'Patriot' is a great example. No one I know would appreciate that title because constant right wing misuse of it has twisted its meaning even in common phrases.
