- they should be theorising, publicly most reform voters as at least in part motivated by racism
- they should be confronting the radical right and calling them racist
- they ABSOLUTELY shouldn't give an inch on policy or suggest that "concerns about immigration" are reasonable

[luca 🇵🇸 @lucainpublic]

- "the left" shouldn't be going up to strangers who are reform voters calling them racists
- they should be calling out their friends/neighbours/family members/colleagues who vote reform as at least being happy with racism
- they should be calling reform politicians racists

@witkowski_cam @langofmind these commands are speech acts (perhaps with an elliptical "i command you to"), and this is an example of abuse (an infelicitous speech act that nonetheless does not misfire). i don't think that makes them false but you could compose a theory of truth-for-speech-acts on

which is distinct from tracking either the way the words man and woman are used or self-reported claims about the extensions of either those words or concepts

[luca 🇵🇸 @lucainpublic]

i should flesh this out more elsewhere but i'm unsure to what extent haslanger's "ameliorative" project is actually ameliorative - it seems to just attempt to track the way the *concepts* of man and woman are used
