Have you ever tried it? It's more work than you think.

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Being a pimp is work too. Still exploitation.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Any work is exploitation really. Nobody wants to work just because they like working. We all do it for money, and we wouldn't do it if we didn't get paid. Even shops buy stuff cheaper and sell at a higher price. We all live off each other

And? That's your counter? Get out of here with that weak shit.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Sorry I don't get your comment. What do you mean with counter? and why do you call my comment weak?

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

Your counter argument fucking blows.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

That's fair, but I don't see the difference between you comparing landlords to pimps, and me comparing pimps to any kind of work. We are the same! Just from opposite sides

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Pimps are parasites and detrements to society. Regular work is not, typically.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

What is regular work? Who decides? I'd expect some store managers may treat employees worse that some pimps treat the girls who work for them.

Im not arguing for or against prostitution but you seem to be drawing an ethical line based on your own idea of what is right or wrong

[-] TheControlled@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes, I am. And not budging. It's a clear line that I will not cross or smudge.

[-] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Its also your right to! Just not to force it onto others.

[-] Killing_Spark@feddit.de 10 points 8 months ago

But it's work that only exists because the landlord decided to extort money from their tenants. No one said the life of a parasite is always easy.
