Not OP and I get your point but I think if people are generally trying to figure out the correct words for things, esp when those things could upset someone, we should try to be a bit less dismissive. If someone uses the wrong word for a thing in my field (and it is a case where it actually matters) I try to gently correct them. OP seems sincere here, people are curious, and both of those are things to be encouraged I think. That said, I can understand how when you're having these interactions every day it can be exhausting.

    No one that cares about this is going to be convinced by this remark. It gains nothing. The only response that could possibly convince them is to reject the premise. Stay on message.

    'I don't respond to immature internet bullies. No one cares about what they have to say. People are struggling and need Washington to listen to them for once instead of pushing made up culture wars. That's why in this race. I'm running to ensure that Washington spends less time and money bombing children overseas and more time and money helping Americans here at home. Food prices are too high. Home prices are too high. Healthcare prices can't even be defined until after a bill arrives. The American people are tired and want real change, not a continuation of what got us here'

    You're right. If you had $400M and your boss asked you to stand up for genocide or you wouldn't get paid that week would you do it? Cause that's literally what this is . Guy is obscenely wealthy. Him not only not using his power to help others but actively fighting for the oppressor is not 'being neutral'. You want to hoard wealth? While claiming to be an artist? Gotta know there's a good chance at some point someone's gonna call you out

    Lol dude you live in this society whether you choose to believe it or not. You're literally on the internet right now.

    The fact that society allows you to do those things but not Palestinians shows that you're happy with the status quo so fuck them.
