No, I really wouldn't. Knowing that my extra pay came from life alteringly horrible things would make me find other employment. Even if it meant some shitty job for shit wages.
Because "Rape is fine so long as I get more money" isn't really an argument worth fighting for.
How much more money is worth it? Only a few rapes, or are we rationalizing that it doesn't matter, fuck 'em all. They're getting raped anyway, so fuck 'em, I got paid?
Basically, what is the money to rape ratio that is acceptable in this scenario?
...Actually y'know what, I don't want the answer. This isn't a conversation I ever wanted to have. I'm going to bow out here.
I went unemployed for awhile. I had to sell almost everything I owned and sleep on a towel on the floor for awhile. I know how it can be.
I'm just perplexed that someone named ihatewhores would be okay whoring themself out like this, knowing that getting a different job would in fact not make them a whore, even if they made significantly less. You might not be fucking them, but you're sure as heck okay with it.
I took a job at mcdonalds from 2004 to 2008. We all sometimes have to make tough choices. That's where my name is from. Not like you asked, but I figured I'd share some of my background with you, ihatewhores.
But again, this whole conversation is really strange. You're okay with suffering as long as if makes your life better.
I know the whole there really isn't any ethical consumption under capitalism on account of someone is getting a shitty deal no matter what, and it's hard to justify any purchase because of that.
But when you know something is wrong, and you're justifying it with as long as it's not me, and I can make my life easier it's okay ... that's kinda fucked up. That's the crux of my argument. But I'm really gonna bow out here. I don't want to do this no more.
Just maybe hope that one day someone like me is at the other end, and can stop something horrible from happening to you just by speaking up and getting fucked over instead.
There’s a difference between doing things you personally disagree with and doing things you KNOW to be morally reprehensible. Your argument is flawed and demonstrates a stunted worldview.
