Chatting with Wellness Industry Workers

[ham]

People often try to apply the "libertarian" label whenever they mean to say "I can do any damn thing I want."  They have no idea what the term means nor do they understand the underlying economic or social philosophies.  (Not picking on anyone here, just saying.)

While there have been a number of authors defined as quintessential, there is no canon when it comes to any socio-political philosophy. I discussed once with a formerly prominent Austrian socialist, and he was as opposed to immigration as you can be: cheap labor and its puppeteers sabotage the proletarians' collective struggle. So it depends on who you ask.
I guess all the fuss about prostitution depends on misinterpreted religious values...since the big book here cannot conceive a woman could be willingly work in the sex trade, they make up all fantasy cases of exploitation: it must be that way...PFFT!
And of course, when prostitutes are caught working illegally, what are they going to say? That a panzerdivision SS rolled into town, rounded them up and forced them at oven-point into prostitution...much as the serial murderer who invariably had a bad childhood...
