BFM qui titre sur "la précipitation" du RN après l'attentat de Magdebourg, en Allemagne, qui aurait des motivations racistes et non pas islamistes. Marine Le Pen et Bardella en prennent pour leur grade, ça change! La direction est en vacances?

Yes. Or stated a bit differently: who owns the means of production and who they exploit to get the money. Jeff Bezos makes his billions by paying his employees a fraction of the value of their labor. The sex worker who makes and sells their own videos isn't exploiting anyone and gets to keep all of the profits for themselves.

in reply to MikeDunnAuthor • • •Exactly.
If Bezos or Musk thought there was enough money being pimps, they'd buy different laws and develop a gig-economy prostitution service called "Luber" to have self-driving cars ferry prostitutes to the basements of horny incels. And they'd still keep "independent contractors" illegal.

in reply to MikeDunnAuthor • • •Still, there is a difference in how the persons in the 2 examples relate to their body:
By selling such photos, one commodifies oneβs own body, i.e. one turns oneβs own body into an object to use for profit.
The warehouse worker, on the other hand, does not commodify their own body, they βsellβ their effort and time.

in reply to Gwendolyn • • •@gwen That the warehouse owner treats the body of the worker like a commodity is unjust and exploitative, and the structures that condone this are unjust and exploitative.
I tried to say:
The warehouse owner‘s unjust way of relating to the worker‘s body and rights does not and cannot take away from the dignity of the warehouse worker, and their right to relate to their body in the way they choose to.
The point I was trying to make: The human dignity of both persons (photo poster and warehouse worker) is unassailable and demands respect for their agency, even in exploitative conditions. - I.e. people are not tools, even as they may have the right to treat themselves temporarily as if they were their own tools (like the photo poster). So let‘s not relate to the warehouse worker as if their body was a tool.

[I think it is a really difficult ethical question whether or how far a person has the right to treat themselves as a tool. Can self-commodification or self-exploitation be morally justified just because they are carried out by oneself? How do self-exploitation and unjust, exploitative structures enhance each other? (It is not self-exploitation if the person is coerced and oppressed.) Those are not rhetoric or theoretical questions, but political and social ones.]
Sorry for the long reply, I am trying to think through this also.

in reply to Eva Harasta • • •@HarastaEva is the difference then just that one of them is employed and the other is not, and the employed one gets exploited while the self-employed one exploits themselves?
If so, would you consider the roles reversed if it was an employed sex worker (assuming thereβs a legal framework for that in some jurisdiction) and an independent contractor doing work that damages their health?
To be honest I think this distinction is largely meaningless when both people act the way they do to survive in capitalism.
Eva Harasta
in reply to Gwendolyn • • •@gwen What I am thinking about is the differences in how the 2 people in the example relate to their bodies - I think the post equates them too quickly (though I agree with the overall critique of exploitation, who wouldnβt).
I am here not trying to make a moral point about photos or sex work in general, by the way.
With the example of an employed sex worker that you suggested there is the added complexity of giving access to intimacy for money - which speaks of an again different way of relating to oneβs own body from the person who posts pictures.

in reply to Eva Harasta • • •@gwen Hm, to me it feels like you may be mostly interested in the social justice issue β and here, I believe we are much in agreement.
I am also interested in the body politics / the diversity in relating to oneβs own body.
I respect that from a position focussed on social justice, this may seem not so relevant in the face of the big struggle against oppression.
Yet I do think that body relations are much connected to justice and freedom. They are a political thingβ¦
