This conception is based in white supremacy
It is a black and/or foreign man, who kidnaps little white girls and sells their innocence against their will with violence
So I wanna start with a disclaimer:
I do *not* fuck with pimps.
I do not like pimps.
I think that they are generally scum.
But they probably don’t operate like how you imagine.
I feel like so many people don\u2019t know what a pimp actually is, like, in the real world, and that lack of understanding is often harmful to sex workers.

Would anyone be interested in an educational thread based on my and other ppls experiences?

I need you to delete this from your brain because this caricature of white supremacist fear of physically and sexually aggressive black men does not exist
There’s a reason anti-SW orgs push the imagery of evil non-white men as pimps
I can’t say it never ever ever ever could happen, but, the VAST majority of the time, it is not that
It was so normal in the clubs I worked at that it was weird that I didn’t have a pimp, and most of the women I spoke to tried to convince me I was missing out on money.
There are actually plenty of reasons, most of which are financial or pertain to survival.
A pimp can give you a condo to live in and a car for mobility, and then allow you to pay them back.
A pimp can make sure a client doesn’t scam you out of money or assault you.
Therefore, most pimps are not going to beat the women that work for them to get money out of them. The sex worker, in a lot of cases, wants to work with the pimp.
I’ve met a lot of sex workers who feel like they “owe” their pimps. Their pimps will buy them gifts, take them out to dinner, have sex with them in a romantic context.
You don’t need to hit anyone when people will work for you and give you money out of guilt or fabricated emotional closeness
(Which is why you can’t be too friendly with everyone when you’re working at a club)
I also know there are pimps who do lock women in hotel rooms.
But it is not the majority of cases.
Yes, your boyfriend can be your pimp. If your boyfriend or partner forces you to work and takes your money, they’re a pimp.
These are managers, agencies, and brothel owners

global health policy in 2020 has centered around NPI's (non-pharmaceutical interventions) like distancing, masks, school closures
these have been sold as a way to stop infection as though this were science.
this was never true and that fact was known and knowable.
let's look.
above is the plot of social restriction and NPI vs total death per million. there is 0 R2. this means that the variables play no role in explaining one another.
we can see this same relationship between NPI and all cause deaths.
this is devastating to the case for NPI.
clearly, correlation is not proof of causality, but a total lack of correlation IS proof that there was no material causality.
barring massive and implausible coincidence, it's essentially impossible to cause something and not correlate to it, especially 51 times.
this would seem to pose some very serious questions for those claiming that lockdowns work, those basing policy upon them, and those claiming this is the side of science.
there is no science here nor any data. this is the febrile imaginings of discredited modelers.
this has been clear and obvious from all over the world since the beginning and had been proven so clearly by may that it's hard to imagine anyone who is actually conversant with the data still believing in these responses.
everyone got the same R

this methodology is a little complex, so let me explain what i did.

a few EU countries provide real day of death data. this lets us plot meaningful curves to show rate of disease change.
what struck me is how similar all the curves were.

1/OK, data mystery time.
This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE
That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.
Let's check this number.
2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".
The report is available here:
3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.
The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.
4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.
Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A
It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.
That estimate is from 2012.
5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.
I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

Patriotism is an interesting concept in that it’s excepted to mean something positive to all of us and certainly seen as a morally marketable trait that can fit into any definition you want for it.+
Tolstoy, found it both stupid and immoral. It is stupid because every patriot holds his own country to be the best, which obviously negates all other countries.+
It is immoral because it enjoins us to promote our country’s interests at the expense of all other countries, employing any means, including war. It is thus at odds with the most basic rule of morality, which tells us not to do to others what we would not want them to do to us+
My sincere belief is that patriotism of a personal nature, which does not impede on personal and physical liberties of any other, is not only welcome but perhaps somewhat needed.
But isn’t adherence to a more humane code of life much better than nationalistic patriotism?+
Göring said, “people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”+
