    Meh, sex workers are either petit bourgeoisie or workers, depending on the arrangements. They have separate shit going on with society prudishness, which is a good fight. From my marxist POV when the arrangement of getting 100 labor hours (or 5000 of global south labor hours) for 1 hour of work (well with preparation it’s more hours, but the gist is the same) changes, suddenly it wouldn’t be as attractive, but who knows :shrug-outta-hecks:

    also there is certain naïveté going there with fbi vices stated aims.

        I think it went more like:

        immigrants are getting uppity, we have to have more control, john.

        What about the kids, cole?

        No one will buy that we care about the kids.

        What about fighting sex trafficking? (insert drug trafficking, diseases whatever)

        You did it again, john, here is your medal.
