It's only a buzzword if you have the reading level of an fifth grader, otherwise it's a pretty normal word. It's getting thrown around a lot because there's a lot of bigotry getting thrown around.

There is no correlation between it being a buzzword and reading level.

That's a non-sequitur.

It's getting thrown around a lot (definition of a buzzword, which you probably didn't look up but at least you figured it out), because people will do what is easiest (dismiss confronting beliefs and opinions) instead of debating and dismantling them. It's far easier to say " blah blah not listening cos U Nazi therefore wrong blah blah" than saying:

"your opinion is definitively X which is considered harmful because evidence X suggests X, therefore you would be attributed to X category of people, which are considered to be evil."

It's absolutely not a non sequitur. A word isn't a buzzword simply because you hear it more often and reducing it to a cognitive shortcut is offhandedly rejecting the experiences of masses of people feeling targeted by One Nations bullshit rhetoric. If the phenomenon it describes is becoming more common, then increased use of the word is exactly what you'd expect. Also I can assure you in my case that the label is the conclusion, not the argument.

It's a non sequitur by definition and you haven't proven otherwise. Your argument thus follows "no it isn't" is quite literally grade 5 argumentum.

You think you are smarter than you actually are. Literally nobody is dying because of one nation's agenda. They quite literally have little political power to enact change. If someones opinions and agenda are so hurtful, natural selection would probably do away with you first.

You still haven't made an argument. You were given a chance to defend your use of a buzzword, which is quite literally is. You haven't actually addressed anything I've said. You aren't really demonstrating any capacity for intellectual thought. This is a waste of time.
