Ngl that does sound like a sitcom episode

In women's football the Dutch U17 national team reached the World Cup final. It will be against the DPRK U17. And apparently the DPRK are favorites too.

Local socdem party made a video in which they send a honorable membership card to Mamdani saying he could be one of them but they are also in the government who wants to cut all social security down to a minimum, among other right wing things.

They got rightfully flamed for it.

Belgian government might collapse tomorrow as they can't agree on the budget after trying to form a government for a year and a half. Turns out getting out on the streets helps.

Sometimes I'm reminded in what kind of horror relationships people seem to be in because I don't feel like agreeing with anything in this vid lol. My partner doesn't bother me in the slightest, luckily.

Kids, though, idk. Maybe later or something but right now not really feeling down for that.

Belgium is having a special parliamentary meeting because of the drone sightings and it is increasingly clear that this country, but especially defense, is run by complete morons. The defense minister wanted to see if article 4 of NATO could be evoked but minutes later he had to back track saying 'ah no I can't do that APPARENTLY'. Like fuck me man you're the person in charge, know your shit.

I'm not really sure what point I wanted to make with that comment lol but I'll keep it up anyway

I wanted to type out something but along the way I realized that we probably agree anyway and that a lack of clear terms in this thread makes people argue while not really knowing what the other means with their term.

My point is that under communism the abusive system that is current day prostitution and/or sex work would and should cease to exist. I don't think I would be overly dramatic to say that over 90% of the people currently active in these systems are trafficked or forced into it one way or another.

I'm not necessarily against the idea of people working with a sexuality in a system that does not force them to (i.e. threat of starvation / homelesness without a job, patriarchal views on sex, etc.). Just as people wanting to be a movie actor being able to become a movie actor right now.

It's basically the sex workers discussion: sex workers need rights to function in their job but the larger issue in the industry is that the vast majority of people in it would not be in it if they had a choice. And because of that you get camps of people opposing any progress in the working rights field, not because of puritan reasons per se but because they view the system as rotten to the core to begin with. The sex workers who do it out of pure passion are a tiny minority and unfortunately get grouped together with human trafficking victims in the industry and vice versa, and because of that they also face difficulty in finding allies in left wing circles.

But it wouldn't be work then. There is no reason to commodify your sexuality if your survival does not depend on your labor. It would just be a hobby.

Edit: I guess you could make the same argument for other work but I think we can all agree that there is a difference between, for example, building infrastructure or schools or being a doctor and filming your sexuality for others to watch online.

Edit2: this comment was a bit whack and a further explanation is below

A 'normal' job that would require you to do the things a sex workers would do would require such drastic health and safety measures that it would make it obsolete in the case of sex work.

My job has for a large part now been in social work and I have to get tested for that just because I MIGHT come in contact with bodily fluids of others. I'm talking blood work, vaccines, all that stuff. I have to get coaching to deal with potentially agressieve clients. I have to be able to call police at all times in case I get in danger.

Sex work is hundreds of not thousands time worse even. That's what many of the clients I see who were trafficked into it also tell me. They would need basically a full hazmat suit to do their job in a proper and safe way. That alone should be concerning enough. But no, we have them out there with nothing.

Using your body to work is not the same as getting r*ped for work, multiple times a day. And getting beaten and whatnot.

I think the important conclusion for this is that people in the US are willing to swing radical (to them) left and that should give parties like the PSL hope

Some serious trolling is done in Belgium with drones. There have been countless of incidents the past few days and now the country's biggest airport is closed because 'drone'.

No confirmation on who is to blame lol
