Isn’t prostitution usually exploited by organized crime?
Comment on And yet I have to listen to my uncle rant and rave about immigrants and pretend it's okay.

We are all prostitutes in some way, shape or form under capitalism. Tell them that at thanksgiving and example that renting yourself to a company to drive trucks, scan tills,deliver pizza is not that different to renting yourself out for sex. Both involve you doing a service for others in exchange for cash.

One could quivle about the difference between prostitution and sex work but generally speaking you are correct
RegalPotoo@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Only in countries where sex work is illegal.
You’d think that a country with a recent, well documented, lived example of how prohibition doesn’t actually fix anything might have learnt something from the experience
MindSkipperBro12@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just because we can’t enforce something 100% all the time, every time, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.
After all, is murder and theft can’t be fully stopped, should we just say screw it and get rid of the laws forbidding it?

That’s a false equivalence.
I’m not saying that we shouldn’t prohibit people from doing antisocial things that harm others, I’m saying that adults doing things/consuming things/selling things in a safe, regulated way where everyone consents, understands what they are doing and the risks associated and no one gets hurt probably shouldn’t be illegal.
