I think the most interesting thing about that is that there was wealth and financial stability in the 1950s, but somehow we completely forget that the parents of boomers lived thru the depression and dropped out of school in 6th grade to work the family farm That stability was some new shit

The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.
Phoenix Calida (@phoenixcalida.bsky.social)
And what gets me is that men believe this because they live lives completely devoid of historical context. If it was 1725, they'd be the hired farm hand (and still single) It if was 1890, they'd be the factory workers sleeping in coffins at night (and still single) Just detached from reality

Speaking as someone who used to spend time in their chats, SO much of US contemporary fascism is a function of men assuming that the way adulthood worked was, you got a job and in exchange you got a woman to be your mom plus your sex toy. They are ENRAGED that they have a job but no sex mommy.

This is worth a read, although I’d argue that in the case of many AV laws passed in the US, the consequences are very much expected. Once they drive most of the traffic to noncompliant porn sites that have zero content moderation, the GOP will use that to argue that all porn should be illegal.

Sex workers found ways as "undesirables" to survive AND bring back money, resources, and knowledge to their communities? Nothing incites rages and moral panics quite like watching people who don't deserve to be alive finding ways to thrive
Phoenix Calida (@phoenixcalida.bsky.social) reply parent
But most sex workers are women (cis & trans). The lgtbq community is widely represented. Disabled folks/caregivers of disabled folks Basically, anyone deemed as disposable by mainstream society. And the fact that these people have not only found ways to survive but also
Phoenix Calida (@phoenixcalida.bsky.social)
If most sex workers were cis white men, there wouldn't be such an effort to disenfranchise sex workers. That's a hill I will die on. Sex work is one of the most prominent ways for people who are seen as 'less than' in a white supremacist capitalist hellscape to survive Thats why it's hated.

You're created your own echo chamber and feedback loop based on vibes instead of reality, and your policy reflects that because it exacerbates the harm that triggered you in the first place! Inevitable outcome of moral panics.
