Derogatory Names

Why do some adults (supposedly) find it necessary to call others derogatory names or assign hurtful nicknames to others? It just seems like the human race has regressed.

Well, The Orange Baby used 'Crooked Hilary'. And is now using 'Crooked Biden'. :)

The naming of others has always been used as a means of control. And is likely to continue.

By naming people or things we exert a degree of mastery over them. It's often an delusional mastery but it still feels powerful.
