>>2652833in meatspace there is a real hatred of the "content creator" in terms of how they ruin spaces and commodify them. It's hard to explain but a lot of zoomers, and by extension a lot of our audience, is not even on social media or maintains a seriously strained relationship with their social media platforms.
I don't see "communism with American characteristics" existing without guns, drugs and pornography and an anti-puritism bent
your point about the global south is real. the material reality of a woman forced into prostitution by imperialist poverty is not the same as a waitress in a hooters. to pretend they are the same is feel good morality not analysis.
but they are all workers. the hooters girl wearing the uniform for a private equity firms profit. the onlyfans creator getting 80% taken by the platform. the streetwalker trying not to get beat by a cop or a john.
<different managers same class relationthe puritan left wants to rescue the prostitute by removing her from the conversation. they think she doesnt understand her own exploitation. go talk to one. she will explain the material conditions of her job better than any theory poster. she knows her price her risk her cut. seriously, has anyone here ever met a street level prostitute, they aren't uncommon in the hood, so I have met a few of em, the bottom line: rent gotta get paid no matter what
you dont build a movement by kicking out the parts of the working class you find gross. the hooters girl fighting wage theft, the stripper fighting house fees, the streetwalker just trying to survive they are all in a labor fight. their enemy is just a different face of our enemy. it;s all the same super structure
their insights are critical. they understand surveillance risk management the psychology of clients the real flow of cash. we need that knowledge and furthermore we need that solidarity.
