I think you are willfully misinterpreting me if you think I'm implying that. Radfem is specifically used by TERFs, yes. Terrible people appropriate neutral or positive terms to make themselves sound better all the time. Understanding specific contexts where those appropriations are used to signal bad faith usage is important so you don't end up platforming TERFs and Nazis, reasonable enough?

Sure, but that's how they choose to label themselves. Like the same way Nazis weren't socialist but they stuck it in their name (and then persecuted the socialists). Being suspicious of people using the label "radfem" is normal since anyone who is actually radical about feminism in a non-transphobic way would use a different label to avoid association with TERFs.

Extremely true! It can help to understand the type of transphobe so you can pick up on dog whistles like radfem more easily of course.

Besides disagreeing with the conclusion, I'm deeply suspicious of accounts with "radfem" in the name since that's what TERFs like to call themselves.

Agree with the sentiment but you do know it's Drake in those memes right?

I think you're correct, if Trump orchestrates all of that (Sliwa and Adams both dropping out) without explicitly endorsing, that could be a threat. But Trump is toxic waste in NYC. Of course everywhere has their share of assholes, but NYers have a long memory for crises specifically. Trump deliberately targeted them during covid, bragged about his building height during 9/11, I could go on. They hate his guts way more than they hate Cuomo.

Not the joke bridge, ai yi yi

I can't think of anything more campaign sinking than an endorsement from Trump in an NYC mayoral race (that Cuomo already lost within his own proported party).

Recycling plastics specifically. Aluminum recycles amazingly well, and glass decently, so keep recycling those!

I don't know if you're correct or not but regardless, this argument definitely sounds like that doctor who told John Green it's not normal to sneeze

There's not a panecea to fascism through minority democratic process. Gumming up the works is the most they can do within the system.
