I find nothing wrong with this statement.
Most politicians are whores in one way or another.
Pretty much, it's why they both should get replaced with AI /s
I'd be ok with replacing Biden with Tay.
It's time we started seeing politicians, prostitutes, the press, and actors all in the same way again. They are on the same level.
Freudian slip or a pun going over my head?
fact check: true
where's the lie?
Public political commentary serves a necessary function: people who make political decisions have to know about political issues, which in a democracy means people have to be free to tell the general public about political issues without the establishment having a veto.
The right to free speech does not require a justification or utilitarian argument. It' a foundational principle. You have the right to communicate how you want, even if someone else classifies your speech as pornographic or political.
If you willingly rationalize free speech, next you'll have to rationalize your right to self defense, and your right to property and on and on, and ultimately you'll find yourself on the wrong end of Hume's Guillotine.
Free political discourse is necessary, a class of paid professional
grifterscommentators isn't. As far as morality goes, I think it's fair to say that Jack Posobiec and Jenna Jameson are on the same level.We watch politics to see how we're screwed. We watch porn because we wish we were.
I fully support banning children from public political discussion.
There's a reason a common nickname is "presstitutes".
I dunno, when you begin to see the funding structure behind the Daily Wire and other operations then I understand the sentiment here.
On the other hand, there is utterly nothing redeeming about porn, but political interlocution should be respected to a certain extent. So I'm not sure what to think.
I saw the rest of that clip, and the panel argues that porn can be healthier than politics. They are dead wrong. Yes, some politics can be harmful (i.e., Leftism) and some political commentary that leads to bad policies (i..e, open borders, no fault divorce, etc.,) are very bad indeed.
However, rooted politics in moral foundations designed to build societal infrastructure (i.e., how first world nations came to be) are extremely healthy, and it's how all those whores are able to sit there and spew their nonsense about porn being better than politics. Because without those political foundations for first world nations (which were actually, usually, rooted in religious foundations), there would be no society.
Porn, however, has no positive outcome. There is no societal growth. There is no productivity upswing because it produces nothing; it only degenerates. That is its end goal. There is no flip-side to porn where a healthy, burgeoning society can emerge. It literally rots the gray matter of your brain, and eventually causes irreparable neurological damage due to how it creates skewed development and functionality of the substantia nigra's role in how you seek risks/rewards, and malforms the ventral tegmental and the way you process those rewards. It creates addictive responses in how people seek dopamine hits, identical to drug addicts.
I really wish Charlie would have asked them, "Is there such a thing as a healthy heroin addict?" because most of them would have said "No", and then he could have replied, "So if porn does to your brain what heroin does to your brain, why do you think that's healthy for you in the long run?"
I would have been curious to see what their response would have been.
