Vietnam prostitutes kept in dog cages

[editec]

He would undoubtedly view prostitution as a denigration and enslavement of women, just as he views pornography the same way. He even compared female actresses' consent to appear in pornography to Chinese workers' "consent" to work in a factory that burns down. To me, this is an utterly illegitimate deontological view that he ought to know better than to believe. The dead Chinese factory workers have clearly suffered a far more intense infliction than whatever suffering he imagines is inflicted on American porn stars, and just as he doesn't maintain an absolutist stance against state functions in all circumstances, neither should he maintain an absolutist stance that groups all forms of wage labor together.

American prostitutes in poor areas do not have it easy by any means. But their suffering, (and even more so that of high-paid escorts), is not comparable to that of women locked in dog cages.

I met Noam once.

He didn't strike me as a libertine to be frank. IN fact he struck me as a pretty cold fish emotionally.

So I am not surprised that he'd take a stalinist left view of things sexual.

Now you seem to have missed the mirth I was trying to inject into this somewhat depressing "let's all agree to get outraged" thread.

I'm likely to mock such attempts to forge board unity by posting something that is drop dead obviously outrageous.

Not because I am not outraged, but because I object to people trying to manipulate us into agreeing about something that is so drop dead obviously evil.

I feel the same way about group hugs and drumming when the liberal do it, know what I mean?

I mean who here is likely to come out and say abducting girls and forcing them into slave prostitution is a good thing?

Nobody, right?

So why even bring these outrageous and depressing things to our attention?

That's the strange thing about many anarchists. They're not the libertines that they're stereotyped as when it comes to many sexual matters. Many are downright hostile to pornography and prostitution, having adopted the view that both are enslavement of women. I'm in the midst of writing a libertarian socialist essay that takes the opposite view. I'll probably post it here when I'm done.

What were their living conditions before the dog cages?

I'm in Houston today. There are signs hanging in the travel plaza describing the signs of human trafficking.

I don't actually think it's so strange.

There is no group more opposed to human mirth and human sexuality than radical leftists.

Seriously, I have met so many truly intelligent lefties who has like ZERO sense of humor, and all the interpersonal empathy of iguanas.

They seem to know everything about humankind except what its like to be human.

And don't even get me going on what cold fish most commies are.

I'd rather live in the Puritans of 16th century Salem than with any group of idealistic communists.

Why this is I cannot say.

But if one is looking for a good time, I have to tell you the Republicans who hate my politics are far better people to party with.

They are often (quite often) far better people to know personally, too.

They understand human fraility better than our liberal chums in most cases.
