> while insulting people can cause real harm to them. How so?

  Being demeaning is pretty much always the first step in hurting people psychologically.

    It seems like there is a rhetorical escalation ladder from insult to hurt to harm. I’m not saying that can never be the case but I do think the contemporary blurring of the lines is unfortunate.
