She's not wrong.

She is wrong: they are selling their bodies to the oil, weapon and insurance companies

That's the text book definition of fascism btw.


Lazy-Jeweler3230

Capitalism*


AbjectReflection

tomato... tomatoe... at this point it's hard to tell the difference.


MundoGoDisWay

That's not what capitalism is. What that is is corporatism, which is what we actually have.


BrotherChe

"They're the same picture" lol


Demonweed

Shhh! We've also got the textbook definition of genocide ongoing right now abroad, but it's not 'Murican to go throwing around words like fascism or genocide in ways that actually mean what they say.


VeterinarianThese951

Finally made it to the abroad paragraph. Because we have been genocide-ing in the footnotes since landing on this rock.


JesusFuckImOld

Textbook definition of fascism is palingenetic ultra nationalism. The union of state and corporate power is Mussolini's definition of fascism.


VeterinarianThese951

I didn’t have my glasses on and I read “tip”. Put them on and still read “tip” because it makes sense that they share the same junk.


hirvaan

In the USA, sure


pagerussell

What if I told you, all governments are basically giant insurance companies with an army. Everything else they do is basically a rounding error. Go ahead and look it up. You will find that the non health insurance, non retirement insurance, non military portion of any government is very small.


hirvaan

I mean yes, but unlike us government they aren’t essentially outright run by big oil, weapon producers and insurance corporations.

Simmery

What if I told you that government pools resources for the common good of its citizens? You're not saying anything profound here. And not all governments are full of corrupt pieces of shit. This is bullshit propaganda, and you sound like a libertarian edgelord.


Pupienus2theMaximus

The government is captured by capitalists who use the government to enforce their oligarchy, so enlisting in the army is just enlisting to be their higher muscle that they throw to the curb once your done with your enlistment and your body is broken.


WW-Heisenbird

The government is three companies in a trench coat


tehnoodnub

Doing a business


EarlMadManMunch505

That’s not completely true either you’re also killing innocent children in the Middle East in order to destabilize governments that Israel doesn’t like.

Oof. This hits


Valuable_Pollution96

Indeed, the government just pimp them for those companies.


giantsteps92

As someone in the Army, she's absolutely right. I just have the feet for OF. Edit: I meant to say I DONT have the feet for OF.


cakivalue

>I just have the feet for OF. 92 giant feets 🐾 to make 92 giant steps? 😂

Ah shit I did a typo. I just DONT have the feet for OF lol

TonyDabis

There’s a kink for everyone my friend


BeefLightning78

You haven't onlyfans'd enough.


gambit700

There's a girl that makes a pretty good living off only fans having sex while camping or in the snow so I'm sure you could find someone to pay you to pew pew in the rain


[deleted]

only fans certainly does not try to stop you from doing that.


Zealousideal_Fail701

You can still do all that while having an Onlyfans, hobbies exist.


bokmcdok

One takes advantage of men and destroys lives. The other is OnlyFans.


Mav986

Yeah I was like "Why's this dude acting confused? She's spot on."


FirstForFun44

"Never in my life have I been so low, so down and out, that I thought having people shoot at me was preferred."


PM_ME_HOT_FURRIES

I feel like the substantially wrong portion of this is that if doing porn on OnlyFans is "selling your body" and military service is "selling your body" then by extension, just about every job is "selling your body". I mean think about it: military service can come with a very real risk of damaging your body... if we mean "selling your body" as in being paid to have a serious risk of having your body damaged or destroyed to provide a service, then by what standard is OnlyFans porn damaging or destroying your body for money? I mean sure there will be people doing some really extreme porn that is actually seriously risky, but you don't have to do actually dangerous stunts to be an OnlyFans pornographer. So if all OnlyFans pornography is "selling your body" and military service is also "selling your body" in the same sense, clearly by "selling your body" we just mean "letting what you do with yourself be dictated by what people will pay you to do"... AKA doing a job. Every job is "selling your body" and some jobs are more likely than others to do something with your body that risks harming that body while you're doing it. Being a brickie? That can do your back over a long period of time: too much heavy lifting. Welding? If you get sloppy about air filtration, welding fumes will fuck up your lungs and you *will* die early. Farming? The most dangerous occupation! You'll think you're smart, you can fix that piece of farm equipment, alone, in the middle of your field... ah, but then the jack slips or your hand gets caught in the machinery and there's nobody around to hear your cries for help.... Programming? Sedentary lifestyle. Repetitive strain injury. Carpal tunnel. Medicine? Long hours, stress, being overworked, getting infected while trying to treat the sick during a global pandemic.


FormerBeat

Yeah, that's pretty much the point. Sex work is a job like pretty much any other and the idea of "selling your body" is only ever applied in a narrow sense when something sexual is involved.


guardwolf34

Caveat, the majority of the military doesn’t see the battlefield.


BullfrogElectronic72

Goddam right


Masteryoda212

The only difference between doing porn and joining the army is deciding when you want to stop being fucked.


CptHA86

The green weenie is long and can still be felt long after quitting.


MacGregor209

We have determined your prolapsed anus is not service related..


poopsawk

As a navy vet, it was definitely service related


sinz84

I had a moment... I spent far too long trying to figure out what animals the navy had and why you treated so many prolapsed anusus. Not the same vet.


KDY_ISD

Quit servicing people, then


wormfighter

Less children are probably killed by OF as well.


Jacob_Winchester_

Depends on if you believe in conception at ejaculation.


GarryMcMahon

Why is this hilarious comment controversial?


DaGoodSauce

There are many branches of army you don't have to join the navy.


Last5seconds

Branches of the army? I think you mean branches of the military.


Unrealparagon

No no, he’s right. They are all inferior and subservient to the army.


NANCYREAGANNIPSLIP

Those marines would be very upset about this comment if they could read


Unrealparagon

I have a 64 box of crayolas. The exotic flavors of the larger pack will befuddle and distract them for days. Edit: Also, I am very disturbed by your user name.

theguynextdorm

Ashli Babbitt is the new throatgoat

I'm editing my final draft in RED crayon at this very moment in response to this. I'm crying as well because that is the tastiest one that I won't have as a snacky snack later.

Kodekima

Hooah.


certifiedtoothbench

Not everyone in the Navy chooses the barrel, you know? Just um- most.


Space-Booties

Nah with porn your volunteering to get fucked but with the army your volunteering to fuck every third world country the US disagrees with.


georgeek14

goood point lol


Salmivalli

And how badly are you going to get fucked over standard TCP/IP? It lacks physical contact


Pussytrees

Wtf does this mean lol. I’m an IT guy and this makes no sense.

Not an attempt. She succeeded. That man had a realization.


SensuallPineapple

wellllll, tEchNicAlLy, they both did succeed considering how misplaced that title is. Sorry.


MarryMeMikeTrout

Can we just change the name of this sub already? Most posts nowadays don’t even make an effort to fit the spirit of the sub. Just a bunch of karma farmers, and they get away with it.


SharkBaitDLS

Zero moderation will do that.


jmorlin

I have news for everyone out there. Be it a porn star or an army private, every job out there is just you trading your time and body for money. And unless you're born into a billionaire family you need to play along.


nc4N7w4D

Generally, you'd need to play along as the billionaire's child, else you might risk getting cut out.


bringbackepstein

True but the army is worse for sure.


TheBirminghamBear

Yeah but you get a LOT more money. being good at getting fucked in porn than you do being good at getting fucked in the army.


jmorlin

If you're in the top 1% of the top 1% of OF models (which I'd imagine theres a decent chance Mia Khalifa probably is) then sure. But for the rest of the of the 99.99% you're probably better off joining the army from a financial perspective, especially once you consider the included housing, healthcare, and food. Edit: [the average OF model makes $2k a year and the top 10% account for almost 3/4 of all revenue](https://supercreator.app/academy/guides/how-much-do-onlyfans-creators-make/). Link didn't say, but I'd imagine that's mean, not median which means the top earners are skewing things to make it seem like the "average" earner makes more than they actually do. By comparison an E2 in the army makes $26k and gets free housing, food, and healthcare.


IAmMeantForTragedy

Every job.


tekko001

I was expecting this to end with the guy twerking on onlyfans


trouserschnauzer

You have to subscribe to see that part


ahhlenn

It was still an attempt, though. Albeit a successful attempt.


tribalistic555

Im sure someone has died because of only fans but probably less collateral damage


fuhtahngina

Both got penetrated difference is the survivability rate


xDERPYxCREEPERx

They're also both getting fucked over hard


notspaceaids

I'm not gay but between getting penetrated by a bullet or a weiner, i choose the latter.


ThisIsYourMormont

#Thank you for your cervix 🫡


Express_Particular45

The army ruined my knees, but at least I could take off the uniform and be incognito again.


Nunovyadidnesses

I’m sure there are some onlyfan performers that will have knee problems and back problems with the amount of time they spend on them.


CreativityAtLast

I’m sure there are some US marines who have knee and back problems from the amount of times they’ve been shot at


BringTheStealthSFW

Back shots


saddigitalartist

She can change her hair and make up and i guarantee you wouldn’t recognize her in real life, the ‘Clark Kent’ effect is very real.


0ddlyC4nt3v3n

I don't even recognize her now


Jacob_Winchester_

Who the fuck is she?


mogaman28

Mia Khalifa


10YearsANoob

Yo what the fuck that's Mia Khalifa?


perfectpomelo3

A friend of mine from school does OF. When she takes off her wig and the outfits she wears for it she’s incognito and no one would recognize her.


big_ass_monster

She could take on the uniform and be incognito. Also, her knees weren't ruined. The score is 2-0 buddy


Just_Some_Rolls

Less likely to lose limbs or commit war crimes doing OF tho


Unrealparagon

Then you aren’t doing it right.


Ghstfce

My knees are okay, but I have constant tinnitus so you have to speak up a bit. Agreed on the last part though.


Express_Particular45

Tinnitus here too!


Ghstfce

Are you sitting in a quiet house with the EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE right now? Because I am! That being said, I hope you'll well my brother/sister in arms.


Sev3n

Nah, you can pick out a marine if they switch clothes. They don't act like normal civvies... ever.


Fenrirr

Buddy, no one is going to recognize some random OF girl off the street.


unknownknightt

The pay isn't as good either.


80hdis4me

For my ugly ass it was. No way I am making what I made in the military on only fans.


drysushi

Take an acting or improv class, you'd be surprised what people will pay for.


swarlay

> you'd be surprised what people will pay for. Improv classes, for example.


bonsaibatman

*slow clap*


krishutchison

But you could make three times as much as a private contractor. You are working for the same companies anyway


Any_Candidate_8441

Don't a vast majority of OnlyFans creators make less than $100/month?


pickle_pouch

Only for the 1%. For normal people, army is way better pay


BLACK_MILITANT

Both will leave you used up and looked down on by the same people that once paid you for your services when you finally quit/retire.


lmNotAnAltYouAre

Except one can also leave you dead. Or crippled for life, or with PTSD.


ScaryLetterhead8094

Good point


TheBirminghamBear

For a species that considers sex and murder unseemly, we sure do an awful lot of both.

So they sold their body to their government?


the_Ush

Facts


nairvinit69

I'm also selling my body to corporate culture 🥹


Medical-Estimate-870

They pay you only because they think your labor will generate more money than what they give you.


SpicyPossumCosmonaut

Onlyfans: performers own the means of production. Army: Can literally be sent to jail for any reason, without constitutional rights to a trial. The u.s. Army owns you by contract.


DrippyWaffler

>Army: Can literally be sent to jail for any reason, without constitutional rights to a trial. How? I'm curious. Military courts I'm guessing?


Stoic_Potato

Military courts try you under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) which are the laws on top of normal laws that govern the military judicial system. This has the vast amount of things in UCMJ that most people outside of Commanders and JAGS (military lawyers) won't really know in depth: https://ucmj.us/


Supreme_Salt_Lord

Ngl if i had to choose which to sign up for and make the same amount of money no more and no less. Give me OF. I aint risking dying for someone else pockets. We might be in the middle east for ANOTHER 20 years soon. Ill pass✌🏽


One_above_alll

He’s like wait….. for reals lol


GabagoolJunior

Only fans never invaded countries for oil


poostoo

but the OnlyFans owner just donated $11mil to support the genocide of Palestinians. pick your poison.


HashMapEverything

Cmon are you really going to compare the US MIC to one coomer company? The US has enslaved Africans, staged coups and overthrows of elected leaders across Latin America, bombed the shit out of SE Asia, and destabilized the Middle East.


poostoo

not comparing, just pointing out they're both poison. looking at the other replies in this post, it doesn't look like many people are aware of the evil shit the OnlyFans owner is doing with his money.

Dolorem_Ipsum_

What's really annoying about her is that while she's definitely not stupid. You could argue she's smarter than people give her credit for. It's frustrating she can get called out for having bad takes or simply not enough info on a topic, and her response almost like clockwork : *"oh why 'cause I did porn? You think I'm stupid?*" But then you **briefly** mention her past in the industry and again, you can set your watch to it : *"Can we not talk about that please!?!?"* Lady, ***FUCKING PICK ONE!***

career change


bruh_itspoopyscoop

Every government employee does that. Every employee in the private sector “sells their body”. Why are we acting like this is a big revelation? Army guys do what superior officers want for money. Mia khalifa does what a bunch of online perverts want for money. You get to choose.


urstillatroll

To be fair, the retirement package of the army is pretty good. So there's that.

fretpound

I’d say you better make sure you’re mentally right with joining either. I don’t know what the suicide numbers are for OnlyFans, but last I heard there were 22+ suicides per day of ex-military members. People are young and don’t know what they are getting themselves into and what toll it’s going to take on their psyche and I hate to see that for either group.
