It would be nice to get rid of that w. Maybe “Randian” instead of “Right-wing?” Certainly applies to Elon, anyway.

I’ve been partial to “TERD” (the D standing for “dickhead”).

I know a lot of people have legitimately switched to TER. My inclination has been to keep TERF, but the F is for fascist.

A while ago Humbabella made what I think is a very insightful point, that Musk has been living in a simulation. Everything he does, all the effort and consequences are still there, but his money has insulated him from them to the point where functionally he has been in a very easy alternate reality. This is actually the simulation breaking down and giving him a taste of the real universe around him.
Congratulations on escaping, Musk! Out here people know you’re a selfish, bigoted idiot and they don’t have to like you or laugh at your jokes.

It makes me think about an interview (Fresh Air?) with Mike Judge when made Extract. It was brought up that it was considered a “companion piece” to Office Space, but from a management perspective. He reflected on his changing stresses and experiences and how he found himself writing about the “other side” of the equation, and seemed to have successfully navigated not falling down the punching down trap.

Humility is more persistent.

Who found it odd, people who don’t know that country has been a vacation destination for Black people for decades? That country has been widely promoted for tourism (natural/political) as well as a haven for expats.

My understanding is that the term TERF was created within feminist communities that were fighting around the question of trans inclusion (and exclusion) much earlier than most of mainstream culture.
There may be earlier examples but there have been TERFs since at least the early 90s, perhaps the most famous being the ones behind the trans-exclusionary rules adopted by the Michigan Womyn’s Festival in 1991.
I’m guessing that as more mainstream culture has been forced to acknowledge trans folks’ demands for acceptance and inclusion, the pre-existing term TERF has been overapplied to really any transphobic person regardless of their feminist status.
Now here we are perhaps further overapplying it because while musk is definitely transphobic it’s just one of his many awful character traits and is only the focus here because of his appearance alongside Dave Chapelle.

Well back in 2005 it hadn’t yet been such a destination for “decades” because apartheid hadn’t been over for decades.
I’m specifically remembering snarky comments about the South Africa thing being made on the Daily Show and elsewhere at the time.
