  • I’m a US-American living in the US. I unironically condemn the United States now and as long as it continues to exist. In particular, I condemn its role in the Gaza genocide, and I consider my country to be a monument to racism and settler colonialism whose stench can only be removed by fire. I’m no fan of any world government, but the US government in particular is the most dangerous for world peace. And it’s not just under Trump; I condemn all iterations of the US government because there is no way to use the Baby Murdering Machine in a way that doesn’t murder babies.

    How do you feel about Israel?

    Sorry if that’s a lot for a first question, but I feel like it would be like if I showed up here and said “Hey y’all I’m from America, ask me anything”, which I’m not against doing but I would 1000% expect people to ask if I support my government.















  • Yes it is accurate, how can you ask that in the context of Ukraine, a country where too many refugee women have been pushed into the legal sex trade or pornography in western countries out of desperation?

    Do you have a source for that? Not that I don’t believe you because I do, but I’d actually like to educate myself about their situation.

    Still, just because there are victims being pushed into the legal sex trade does not mean that everyone or even a majority are being pushed into it (any more than all workers are pushed into wage slavery). Obviously no one should be pushed into it.

    One model which is palatable even to libs is decriminalizing the lower levels of the sex trade and providing people real opportunities in life, infrastructure, subsidized education, while deconstructing the industry itself.

    That should be a red flag! Of course it’s palatable to liberals! It’s a milder form of the same paternalism that views the State as a legitimate arbiter of the sexual practices that consenting adults are allowed to enter into. We can, should, and must provide real opportunities and infrastructure and subsidized education to sex workers as well as everyone else. We can do that without harassing sex workers or people who want to go to them.

    Like do we really want to trust sexual morality to the States and the capitalists that national governments serve? I say “HELL NO!” They are the very last people on the face of this godforsaken planet who I want to consult about sexual morality.

    That is why I framed the UN’s inclusion of sex trade managers in the category of sex worker as a threat

    Case in point. That’s fucked.
