    My god there's a lot of anti-sexwork sentiment in here. I smell the riggedy raggy stench of TERF's and carceral feminists, i.e fucking liberals.

    it's not sincere sex-work if it's done in a coercive, power-asymmetrical situation during wartime through an external imperialist opportunist force taking advantage of Russia's invasion to cannibalize the ukrainian economy through privatization, deregulation, austerity, and so forth.

    UKRAINE IS BEING INVADED BY A SAVAGE FORCE THAT DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOUR RIGHTOUS INDIGNATION AND WHO WILL GLADLY **** FOR FUN.

    We content warning mentions of SA on this instance. Also it's a bit messed up to employ this colonialist rhetoric such as "savage," by which, it would seem, you mean to imply that Russians are these inherently backwards, barbaric, uncivilized people. This is not only idealist, and anti-materialist, but fundamentally ahistorical, and tone deaf. Both Ukraine and Russia are at war with each other due to the destruction of the USSR by capitalists gradually infiltrating and corrupting the CPSU from within, opening both countries up to cannabilization by the imperial core. Russia and Ukraine as they exist today are a result of how imperialism deliberately divides the world, destroys societies, and consumes their remains for quick injections of surplus value, to stave off falling rates of profit in the imperial core. Corrupt leaders like Yeltsin and Putin in Russia, Poroshenko and Zelensky in Ukraine, would never have been able to come to power in the first place, if it weren't for imperialism and capitalism destroying the proletarian vanguard state.

    If you haven't donated to the Ukraine defence effort then stfu.

    Why would I donate through capitalist organizations opportunistically looking to further cannibalize the Ukrainian economy for cheap labor during war? Why would you assume working class people even have money to performatively donate to organizations run by billionaires who aren't donating anything?

      This is a tangent, but prostitution and the like are already generally in a wild power imbalance even besides the legal issues because the John is using money to be entitled to sex.

        I considered saying that, but I wanted to start from their standpoint when addressing their post rather than taking a harder line. That was probably an unprincipled departure from the deeper underlying issue on my part, but I wanted to speak their language and address specifically the topic at hand. Thank you for adding that.
