people like you, frankly, disgust me. You are selfish and lazy but don't want to admit it because you don't have the willpower to change, so to convince yourself you are good and avoid responsibility for your immaturity you to hide behind a manufactured righteous indignation by moralizing autonomy, pretending to care by removing any responsibility you have towards others and towards society. But I see right through your pathetic facade. You don't care about sex workers, you're a selfish P.o.S that doesn't want to care about them, so you disguise your apathy as a twisted form of altruism. Grow up, you imbecilic child.

lmfao

haha clearly I don't know. but from the few comments who actually tried to address my question, it seems to be a much more visceral thing. I guess rooted more in attraction than anything else. which answers my question in its own indirect way I suppose.

Oh I dare talk about permitting people to do things with their bodies. I WILL NOT permit someone to harm another person, even if they want to use their own body to do it. I WILL NOT let another person inject themselves with addictive chemicals that will inevitably cost them their lives. I WILL NOT permit a person to rape someone else, even if its what they want to do with THEIR BODY. Just because its "your body" doesn't mean you are morally justified in doing whatever tf youw ant with it. Grow up. You're pathetic.

Sophia Artang is fake.

I corrected it. I didn't mean in an ethnic sense, I meant in a foreign policy sense (like, Trump is very pro-Israel, and I happen to think that Israel manipulates the U.S. and we need to stay the heck away from them).

this was super helpful!!!! thank you!

thank you haha. duly noted.

Yeah there is no single explanation for revolution. Looking strictly to wealth distribution is reductionistic at best. I mean, wealth distribution was arguably better in the U.S. in the 1860s than it was in the prelude to Revolutionary France and yet we had a Civil War lmfao. There are endless examples that disprove this rule. The reality is: popular unrest is extremely complicated, and the factors that lead up to it are varied with fluctuating levels of influence at different stages of development. Sure, perception of wealth is a key component... but its hardly an explainer.

that's the thing that pisses me off: the tax often increases the perception of how much people are willing to spend. even if you remove or decrease the tax, the companies just inflate the price to fatten their margins. Rule #1 of capitalism: the consumer always loses.
