  • There's no such thing as consentual work under capitalism, let alone consentual sex work. You can't consent to something if it's under duress, and capitalism comes with the inherent threat of starvation, homelessness, and all the hardships that come from not having the means to pay for food, housing, healthcare, etc.

    This does not mean it shouldn't be decriminalized (for the actual sex workers, pimps/pimping should obviously be illegal, and I think johns should probably see some penalties) since making it illegal to practice sex work just makes it all thw more dangerous for those who are forced to do such work.

    In the future under socialism I don't see it being nearly as widespread as it is now. I just have a hard time seeing many people making the decision to undertake such work if they aren't under the stress of having to purchase food, make rent, pay for healthcare/schooling/childcare/etc

  • You forget that paper is from the mid-80s. I don't understand why people think they just stopped replacing birds. The authors of that paper based it all on declassified documents that were almost 30 years old even then! If anything the government just got better at hiding what they were doing, mark my words in another couple decades it'll come out that it's not only the pigeons and starlings that have been replaced but also robins, seagulls, and a variety songbirds!

  • This is clearly just a limited hangout so they can say "look at how crude our taxidermy robots are! This totally proves birds are real!"

    The government wants you to believe they aren't capable of creating the omnipresent surveillance network that are so-called "birds". We've been under this surveillance since the early 60s when the government avian extermination program was in full swing. Why else do you think they were so gung-ho about DDT? It helped provide smokescreen for the avian replacement system experiment. Wake up, Birds Aren't Real

  • Well yea, it's only propaganda when the people I don't like do it. Just because what I believe and what I question lines up perfectly with

    doesn't mean anything!

  • That and baby killing are propaganda classics for a reason. Anyone who tries to push back against the narrative or has questions about the propaganda is immediately cast as a monster who doesn't care about women being raped and children being murdered.

  • Really? Your stance is "decolonization sounds complicated, let's just let Israel genocide millions of people"? As other posters have said, send any dual citizens back to their country of origin, remove settlers from Palestinian land, end the siege of gaza, take down the wall and machine guns, prosecute IDF war criminals, and dissolve the criminal entity that is Israel. Will it be bloodless and free of violence? Of course not, I'm not naive, but the genocide of Palestinians will be much more bloody than any decolonization process

  • I always wanted to be a train engineer, but being colorblind makes that impossible

  • Those poor bastards. They were probably just trying to live their lives, then they get taken off the street, beaten, maybe given a couple weeks of "training", and sent off to run through a minefield at prepared defensive positions. They see an opportunity to make a break for it, and I can't blame them for that, and they have the bad luck to get caught by these nazis bastards waiting behind the lines to shoot "traitors" or "deserters". Fuck this is bleak

  • Definitely the Soyuz, it's hard to beat the safest and most reliable spacecraft

    If we're talking fictional I'd say Serenity, I love what's essentially a tramp steamer in space with little nooks and crannies for less than legitimate cargo

  • If wikipedia says so it must be true!

  • Assuming you're in NA, I think your only options would be to run and hide somewhere, preferably with a bunch of like-minded people that you can rely on, or escaping to a neutral third country that won't repatriate your ass. If it comes to a hot war between NATO and Russia that somehow doesn't escalate to nukes I don't think bone spurs/shitting yourself/standard medical exemptions are going to apply, or at least they won't apply indefinitely. Being rich and powerful/being the child of the rich and powerful might help dodge conscription but I wouldn't want to rely on that.

  • Going by their username I'm guessing they're from Australia, a country that famously has never been a stooge of American imperialism

  • So many times that after the second or third one came out he basically said "I'm pretty sure that's all I remember but idk

    "

  • Yo, can you pm me with info on that modded Spotify? Thanks!

  • And

    more than welcomed them, considering the multiple monuments to them that got put up
