In this episode, we dive into the power (or lack thereof) of racial slurs, the evolution of words like "honky," and how language gets repurposed over time. We also tackle the controversy around people burning Teslas and the overuse of the term "domestic terrorism." Are we watering down serious terms for political agendas? Plus, we discuss how political narratives shape words like "woke" and "terrorism," the reality of classism and racism, and why certain insults don’t carry the same weight for different communities.

🔥 Topics Covered:

The history and impact of racial slurs

The Tesla-burning controversy & media narratives

How "domestic terrorism" is being redefined

Political influence on language & culture wars

The psychology behind what actually offends people
