I feel the exact same way as you regarding sex work.

Yeah I agree the way he frames it and talks about betrays his actual reactionary feelings of disgust at sex workers (as well as trans people) which is why hes clearly a right-devionanist

He might have made some good contributions to breaking myths related to the USSR, but sometimes assholes make one good point, its important to be critical of everyone and not fall victim to cults of personality.

I dont hate the arguement here, ‘eleminating’ essentially means removing the material reasons why people are coerced into the sex trade. There are strong femminist arguements against this that boil down to the reason it even has value to begin with is the male gaze/patriarchy and liberal conceptions of the ‘pornography industry’.

Some of his later arguements are a bit nonsensical regarding productive/non-productive labour though.

However yeah its disapointing to see him fall for the TERF idpolitics or abandon the ideas around primative accumlation and unequal exchange.

if arabs love Palestine so fucking much, why don’t they open up their countries’ lands for the creation of a Palestinian state?

Are you asking why Arabs living in America dont open up Michigan for Palestanian people?

I didnt realize they controlled immigration policy, thats crazy.

Put me in the 1% of red eye havers (I smoke weed everyday)

It aint a contest comrade, im away from the hard times now in a social sciences adjacent role where im able to help people everyday and I can work from home, im not going thru it anymore save for the trauma associated with life before I hit 30, I certaintly have never had someone pull a gun on me!

Really sorry to hear about your mom OP, I hope you’re doing ok <3

It all blends into one grey paste of shit for me, there are a few moments that standout of violence inflcited on others by managers, peoples limbs getting severed through machinery or sexual harrasment by people in positions of authority over 16 y/o women but I dont feel like trauma dumping today.

TERF island is called that for a reason, everyone is insane over here.

Not one of the billion people who live in China have an opinion, interesting.
