Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

God, are you dense.
You even write that yourself. When someone is violating your private space or just attacking you on the street because they don't like you for whatever reason (autistic people get a lot of that) and they are a humiliated good-for-nothing creature with no other ways to reinforce their self-confidence, you might say a lot of things including slurs to get rid of them, and be right.
No, you are trying to play intelligent refusing to admit you get a very simple mechanism.
Aight, we're done. Your social logic works in a way I am uninterested in interfacing with and your capacity to misinterpret simple scenarios has made the outlook of you developing nuance, unfavorable.
Have fun calling angry people slurs.
Edit: I just had to add that the whole thought process is so fundamentally flawed. Why would you double-down on using inflammatory language like slurs that you've noted made them act more aggressively to you, if your goal is purported to get them to leave? They name-drop autism but I ain't never seen someone so divorced from understanding the cause and effects of social levers before.
Have you considered that the other person here is of perfectly normal intelligence, and you're just very bad at explaining your position on an extremely sensitive subject? Seriously, I hope you're just badly fumbling this because oh boy are you presenting yourself like an asshole right now. I'm skeptical that's it, since you're clearly lashing out by insulting their intelligence (which frequently correlates) but I also understand how frustrating it can be to try and explain things and be repeatedly told it's problematic. Maybe take a breath and try this one again. Or just tell me to fuck off, settling the matter and letting us downvote you with a clear conscience
An extremely sensitive subject is normally discussed the same way as an absolutely mundane subject, just very sensitive.
Like a big system is like a small system, just big. And vice versa.
Order of statements in a conversation or actions in a conflict matters, and a statement or an action can have different weight.
Quite obviously if you are generally right, but have used some nasty insults, you are still generally right. Even if the other side is perfectly polite.
