  • “Intimate” is a completely subjective term. Some people, like it or not, don’t consider nudity to be intimate and are therefore more than happy to use it to their advantage. Just because you wouldn’t, doesn’t make you the arbiter or what is or isn’t considered intimate.

    So, as you say “Clearly being the more preferable job” is a meaningless statement. A vegan wouldn’t rent out their body to work in a slaughterhouse. A pacifist wouldn’t rent out their body to the military. Just because you wouldn’t rent out your body for people to enjoy on the internet doesn’t make it objectively worse than any other profession. It’s just your perspective.

    I’m not saying that there aren’t issues in the porn industry. Of course there are, tonnes of them. But renting out your body to perform manual labour or renting out your body for people to look at on the internet are not as different as you think.


  • if someone has to grant access to their body, under threat of starvation or homelessness

    But that’s employment in a nutshell, though. A welder rents out his body to a company to weld steel beams for 8 hours a day. An accountant rents out their body to sit behind a desk for 8 hours a day and crunch numbers. A salesperson rents out their body to cold-call for 8 hours a day.

    No matter what, we’re coerced into giving or body to perform someone else’s labour. The fact that it doesn’t always involve nudity doesn’t change anything vis a vis your bodily autonomy.




  • I feel like this really is a mini-test for America right now. Orban has been trying his best to rig the election in his favour despite is very obvious unpopularity. He’s behind in polling; and would be even further behind without his fuckery in the background.

    So one of two things will happen on April 12th, either the result will be so overwhelming that if he tries to claim it was rigged, it would be an obviously bullshit claim. Or he’ll somehow sneak in with the victory despite being behind the entire time (sound familiar).

    Can Hungary overcome his fuckery is a direct mirror to the American midterms. Will Trump accept the results, or refuse to leave. And if it’s the second, will Hungarian people rise up?



  • Don’t let the doorknob hit their ass on the way out.

    Worst case scenario is Russia tries to take advantage of the situation and gets curb stomped by a NATO that is roughly 30% weaker but still more than powerful enough to handle the paper tiger that Russia has proven itself to be.

    Trump is dead within a year, guaranteed. The GOP will fall to infighting after the cult of personality ends, and when the next president wants to clean up his mess and rejoin NATO, they can be allowed back in without the bullshit VETO that they for some reason have. They can return as an equal, not as a boss.









  • That all actually started after World War 1, to be honest.

    It was during the first world war that all of the European powers spent literally all their money fighting each other, with both sides then reaching out to the United States for loans to continue fighting each other, which America was of course happy to oblige.

    The repayment of those loans constituted the largest transfer of wealth in human history from Europe to the Americas, setting the stage for the American war machine to be completed prior to world war two.
