    It’s a valid argument, but it’s not supported by their actions, which are demonstrably exploitative.

    And not really comparable to rape, especially child rape, due to consent obviously; there is no non-exploitative form of that. Sex work is work, but children can never give informed consent, and even adult sex tourism is almost always exploitative.







  • I heard a bit on NPR over the weekend talking about copaganda. Turns out body cams are beneficial to cops, because they can take that footage and selectively edit and release it to push a certain narrative.

    If you’ve ever seen a clip on social media, it often starts a few seconds before the cop hits someone, rarely showing the full sequence of events that led up to that point.

    And if they can’t edit the footage to make them look good? “Oops, we didn’t retrieve that footage in time so it was overwritten.”
