  • The article quotes a lady from a “sex worker support group” that turns out to be a SWERF organization:

    L’Amicale du Nid firmly supports the belief that prostitution is intrinsically incompatible with human dignity and equality between men and women; the human body cannot be construed as an object or piece of merchandise. It refuses to liken it to a profession and wishes to build its action along consistent abolitionist lines, advocating for the ban of any form of sexual intercourse for payment

    It goes on about non-penalisation of sex workers but last I checked, a total ban wasn’t what actual sex workers wanted.

    I don’t know, this just might be a broken-clock kind of thing. Probably for the worst possible reasons, though, if I had to guess.

















  • Look, I’m not trying to justify everything the Bolsheviks did during the Russian Civil War. I don’t know enough of the history to make a judgment call on most of that stuff. So I’m going to leave the question of morality entirely aside on this one.

    But I don’t think you can call your revolution successful if, within a few years, some external force is able to show up, wreck everything you were doing, and take over. It’s not enough to just temporarily wrest control away and set up your committees and your resource distribution system and declare victory. You have to establish long-term security and stability. If you don’t, you haven’t had a successful revolution.
