    It’s also important how and why they use it.

    Destiny is born and raised in the US, his mom was a child when her family fled Cuba.

    They call him a dehumanizing word in Spanish, just because his Mom is Cuban American. And they use his politics as a shield, even though they would never call a person with no Cuban/Latin heritage this word.

    :michael-laugh: Every different culture has a term for their variant of this sort of counterrevolutionary. We normally use that term, though I do see people using gusano to refer to all sorts of counterrevolutionaries around the world.
