This person said, you are a lumpenproletariat whoring yourself out and it is not a job.
We as a society should discourage it by any means necessary while avoiding censorship.
This sounds like a great way to do it.
And then the next person says, so many small government conservatives all of a sudden are in favor of taxes just because it is against OnlyFans girls.
And the thing is, both of those people are correct.
Like neither of them are totally wrong.
I understand what both of them are saying.
But here's the thing, and this is kind of where I stand and I'm gonna walk you through my thought process on all of this because I've been like chewing on it all day long.
I do consider myself to be a small government conservative and I believe that taxation is theft.
And I do believe that things like this in general are a slippery slope.
But in my opinion, my personal opinion,
in this specific situation, the slope has already been slipped.
There is no more slipping that can be done.
And so yes, obviously, I always wanna stay consistent with the things that I talk about and the things that I believe, but I also think that you have to have a healthy dose of reality.
You have to look around at the reality of the world that we live in and go, okay, well, does this actually make sense, or am I just trying to live in libertarian utopia?
the government is already taxing people.
They are taxing people and companies right and left because the government deems their products to be harmful or have a negative impact on society.
That is already happening.
And I would argue that these are things that are objectively bad.
Now, others might say that they are subjective.
