Is it beter to have an All inclusive vacation or an exclusive one? :MonkaThink:

@nozaki @caekislove @dew_the_dew @qwerty well, we don't have institutional power, but we do have cultural power believe it or not. And if you combine cultural power with the willingness to use force you get something that is politically relevant if not electorally relevant. See, people hear "politics" and they think offices, they think elections, occasionally they think appointments, but they don't really think culture. Culture is like half of politics at a minimum.

And interestingly enough it is the weakest part of leftism. Leftists don't really have culture. They have effective attacks on our culture, whether it be our religious culture, our secular entertainment culture, our professional culture, and so on, but they don't really have culture of their own. BLM, Pride, etc, these are their efforts at creating a culture of their own and they have no staying power without the institutional support that they have.

We, on the other hand, are a humongous knot in their hair by culture alone. Consider for a minute that 30% of the population never got covax, and they pulled out all the stops over that; they literally threatened people's livelihoods over this one and it still didn't work. Consider for a minute that random shit posters on 4chan create massive national fiascos on a whim by typing "IT'S OKAY TO BE WHITE" and using their home printer. Consider for a minute how 40% of the population thinks our elections are rigged. Consider that this Pride Month shit is seeing a direct, bottom up correction by people who change tires for a living.

They are expert infiltrators, but we won the culture war. We won it. It's ours.
Any work is real work but not all work is created equal. For instances journalists are pure scum and the worst of the worst
Sex work is work, but so is Spam Calling or Trading Drugs. Just because you do work of money doesn't make it healthy.

@LukeAlmighty being a landlord mostly involves just a large investment and then paying other people to do work when necessary (like maintenance). For the most part, it's passive income. All they do is collect money from people. I'm not saying that being a landlord isn't legitimate, but it's not necessarily "work," it's just investment.

Being a sex worker requires you to actually do stuff. You're trading your body, your dignity, and possibly your health for money, but isn't that what a lot of other jobs consist of anyway? It might not be moral/ethical work, depending on who you ask, but it is still work. You're still doing something directly related to the money you make, whereas a landlord is probably playing golf while making passive income.

@LukeAlmighty No one will ever know? Fuck that. Pull the lever so the trolley is diverted. Then go over and bash his head in so people know it was me.
