The Left is Anti-Work, But Pro-Sex-Work.

across the animal kingdom
gifts are an integral part of the mating ritual and now one website is cutting straight to the give and take connecting broke college girls with rich older men to trade their youth and beauty for cash and prizes so is it prostitution or a brutally honest search for happiness i mean it's sex work this is sex work by the way this is not anything but sex work which you know good [ __ ] this is basically more ethical almost in some ways than like just dating a rich old dude and being like oh i'm doing it for the love of it when you [ __ ] clearly aren't you know what i mean at least there's like a monetary compensation here when you know they're they're basically saying like hey give me money and we'll go on dates and i'll simulate dating for you right whereas uh whereas like what the [ __ ] you think like the 25 year old model that's like dating [ __ ] the 85 year old dude hoping that he [ __ ] croaked so he can get cash in you think that lady loves the [ __ ] 85 year old dude get the [ __ ] out of here there's no issue with this i'm saying like as far as sex work goes i'm not gonna [ __ ] [ __ ] on sex work i mean it's sex work this is sex work by the way this is not anything but sex work which you know uh good [ __ ] working at all is not something that any animal is built to do working at all is not something that any animal is built to do or meant to do or wants to do nobody chooses labor nobody chooses work all of their animals don't work unless we force them to but all other animals are free we're not we under capitalism are forced to work and every need that we have we are forced to work in order to provide for that need if we don't work our only option is starvation [Music] most of the people that criticize sex work criticize it on on anti-capitalist terms but more often than not they're not criticizing the work itself they're just criticizing the sex part of the work itself are you really ignoring the use of pornography as a patriarchal capitalization and mercantilization of women also ignoring the history of sexual enslavement of women as sexual workforce cancel all work what did i tell you cancel all [ __ ] words inherently all work is is enslavement okay if you're still having a convo you know uh sex workers are are uh criminals and or are doing something that is bad then we can't even get to the enthusiasm for his own enthusiastic consent that we're not there yet we're still in the entry level but why do people make sex work such as only fans to show out to be something we should seek to help them out of i would literally much rather live off on only fans of mcdonald's i don't get why it's demonized still so much i don't get it either and also if the problem was exploitation we would not be having this conversation around only fans like you can maybe say that about uh big porn uh studios you can say that about porn agents you can say that about managers in porn but like when you get the only fans that's literally another additional layer removed so it's straight the [ __ ] up workers seizing the means of production for themselves before i would film this video now as it's when i'm feeling raw emotion i know this is gonna be a hard one to do because i don't really act negative and even now it just feels really stupid and weird and i don't really know why i'm filming this video people are not going to give a [ __ ] so let's just talk into what i'm actually freaking talking about here about maine maybe let's say a month ago i posted some videos of me in an outfit that i didn't really think much of feeling myself today do a little tic talk and it sort of did well and then i posted on instagram and it did even more well and as a result of that i got a bit of a male audience i gained like 10k in a week because of these people watching me i try and steer away from that sort of thing on tick-tock and instagram like not really trying to be a sexual objects on them platforms but apparently that's what i've become on everything i started getting a lot of comments from these videos when i was like feeling myself and doing all these cute dancers or whatever they were not very nice and at the time i didn't really care because oh my god look at all these views oh my god look at me growing up like i didn't really give a freak it's got a little bit worse and last night is when i've just really had enough of it i don't want to be i don't want to be an object like this i don't know if it sounds really stupid and i'm like being really stupid but i mean i get a lot of abuse on early fans anyway with like that is normal nothing i'm showing you is that's what i'm talking about because i expect it this is the other side to it which people don't necessarily talk about when i did my tic talk about moving into the apartment there was people commenting the exact building name maybe that's my fault for learning online and whatever but you know recently it's just got a bit more aggressive from a male audience sort of like pushing pushing me i'm just pretty numb to at this point but i don't want i don't want an instagram where my questions are oh have you ever given a [ __ ] and i don't want to be stalked i i don't i didn't ask to be stalked i mean i know i didn't only fancy people just thought well this is your fault for advertising yourself as a sexual object but but i'm not though i'm not though i'm a human and it's it gets to you when it when it's like going on for ages i was just so numb to i thought this is fun it's not fun a friend messaged me that i just know from instagram she was oh i did only fans for like a week but i couldn't take it because of all the abuse that you get i i'm going to go into the abuse on any fans because that's just that's just expected like on my youtube comments the other day everyone i'll have any fans of [ __ ] like comment on my youtube like can you can you not really i started posting things that were gaining attention at the time i sort of done it for that purpose i deleted a couple of photos on my instagram last night that don't exactly bring the attention that i want but a photo that i like which would be like an outfit post we can't see no cleavage or no ass like doesn't do well and i've been losing because of that using followers and [ __ ] but i'm just so sick of [ __ ] caring about that [ __ ] and i didn't used to and now it's [ __ ] ruining me the mythology of the post bernie sanders left wing is not dangerous because it's absurd it's not dangerous because it's ridiculous it's not dangerous because it's easy for people like me to point and laugh or sit here and explain to you the ways in which it's bad and misleading and wrong it's dangerous because it's appealing it's dangerous because it provides people with excuses and rationalizations for their bad habits and none of it is gonna last my father was a hardcore communist extremist but even within the decades i knew him i could see his faith in different aspects of the left-wing wavered some things some things he believed as a young man became unbelievable to him when he was younger and before i was born he really believed that work was the most meaningful thing in life that it transformed you as a human being and of course there was nothing more important than having the credentials of being working class this is going to sound messed up but like my father was proud that he had gotten a job on a toll bridge you know he was proud that his mother had worked in a factory and like within the communist party when the far left these were like credentials that he was like a blue-collar guy despite having universe education all these really crummy jobs he worked in a fish and chip shop like what the worst jobs he had in his life he was wearing this like a badge of honor you know he tried to be a labor union organizer like all these people back then he had a long beard and looked like a hippie and apparently he was he was emaciated i can believe i've never seen a photograph of him those days because he wasn't eating properly and oh my god he already had six kids or something he was poor for reasons that were largely his own fault anyway this is hippie with six kids in university education going around trying to present himself as working class so you know there was a really toxic pro-work ideology that was part of his life right and he grew out of it his faith in it didn't last because it couldn't last now it's very strange for me now to sit here and look at hassan sit here and look at kristen leo and the pendulum has gone to the opposite extreme there's this antiquark ideology right my older brothers uh again this before i was born they were told by my father like you know work is the only thing that matters in life it transforms you education doesn't matter travel doesn't matter like going to egypt or something to see the pyramids doesn't matter you know what matters is getting this working class blue-collar work working on a construction site being a bricklayer mixing cement you know this is the idealized work right and it's not even that it makes you a real man that that's easy maybe you spend enough time on construction so maybe you know whatever you build up calluses in your hands you get get forearm strength i don't know no no no no no no this makes you part of the vanguard this makes you part of the working class this means that when the revolution comes they won't kill you first right like this is part of a deeply violent ideology that like world war three is coming the day after tomorrow and then the same kind of massacres and purges that lennon and stalin and mao zedong engage in are gonna happen and if you don't have your credentials that you used to be a construction worker used to work at a fish and chip shop where my father's [ __ ] excuse was you know you're gonna be one of the people who's facing the guillotine you're gonna go on the people hanging from the neck by a lamp post so get your get your blue collar working class credentials now this is partly an ideology based on fear and it's partly an ideology yes based on a frankly a very catholic view of work and labor it's one of the reasons why communism in a country like cuba south america has a different character than does in japan say japan has its own history of of communism and you know when i was a kid i got to see my father's belief in that just dying year by year and when it finally came time that i was entering the workforce i got my credentials together and i started going to job interviews and i was applying to get jobs in construction and the type of work i could get i tried by the way i looked at getting your formal license to be a bricklayer as i recall the first license you get is just to be a trainee bricklayer actually being like a craftsman in the brooklyn it takes years or whatever but you know i was going to get that certificate and the work i could get right away was on a demolition crew going around with a pick breaking up concrete throwing chunks of concrete on the back of your that's the lowest level of work you can get and i'm a big guy i'm six foot three back then two i could do 200 push-ups a day or whatever i was doing at the time you know it was big o is healthy and i was ready to do it and i at that point by the way i had absolutely zero engagement with cap with communism i was not left-wing at all anymore but obviously i was raised to be left-wing from early childhood and my father just couldn't do it he couldn't let me enter the workforce that way he did everything in his power to stop me from going to work on a construction site he just freaked out and he had nothing intellectual to say about it ain't nothing political and i could even say to him i could stand there and attach way and be like but this is your philosophy you devoted yourself like he was really he was pro-stalin promos and he was not a moderate communist like this is your religion right it was it didn't last right everything he found believable as a young man became unbelievable became laughable became despicable to him in old age he found even examining his own life of course what was really meaningful to him was not it wasn't these kinds of joe jobs that's where it wasn't work in that sense what was meaningful his life sure partly what he did in his leisure in education partly it was literally going on vacation to egypt and seeing the pyramids going to africa and seeing zebras what he actually valued he figured out was bourgeois this current anti-work ideology all right it's not going to last but for as long as it does last it's going to provide really dangerous justifications for decisions people are making that have terrible long-term decisions and i i know i know what's real i know there are young men who are going to go and have sex with prostitutes and they're going to feel they have their left-wing morality stamp of approval to go and do it and they were looking for one excuse or another right but just think about there were young men who were coming on the internet now and they're listening to sam harris and they're listening to the new atheists and they're thinking gee the only reason their parents are opposed to prostitution is because they're you know they've got starch shirts and come out of a conservative church background and they're not hip atheist left wingers like you and i who know that sex work is the most liberating thing imaginable they're going to be young men who go out there and become john's and in many ways that is going to change their lives forever and there are young women who are signing up to do only fans signing up to do pornography the internet signing up to turn tricks signing up to be sex workers of one kind or another and it's gonna change their life forever this ideology won't last its impacts on real people's lives will
