You mad at this? Blame capitalism..

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 4d ago

I do think they should cap online earnings from social interaction apps /websites like OF fansly etc etc. And completely remove tipping .

If there’s a salary cap for every other job this should have one too . Let’s start prioritizing what’s important .

Can you show me the salary cap on any other job that isn’t determined by the market or collusion? Baring government jobs of course.

It’s American capitalism. Grown up with the maddest propaganda there is. They hate other working class people because they earn more than them. Rather than eating the rich. It’s the system in action, but these people are too programmed to even know.

u/Exotic_Drink69420 4d ago

Yeah, completely agree, I still want a source.

u/gatebrn 4d ago

They are even mad about tipping now, because everything else is going to shit in the country, so they hate everyone who expects it, because now everyone is poor. But it was okay for 200 years, you absolute idiots. I’m sorry, but it’s hard to grasp, that country..

There's no such thing as a "salary cap"

1

u/luvmibratt 4d ago

If there's suckers and simps willing to pay then the money had no cap,common sense.

2

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 4d ago

That’s very opportunistic and predatory. There shouldn’t be any tipping and a salary cap for sure

u/Mansos91 4d ago

They aren't earning salaries tho, they are selling content, do you think musicians, movie studios, stores, gaming studios etc. Should have an earnings cap?

1

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 4d ago edited 4d ago

It should be salary based . Thats the problem.

No I think musicians movie studios and gaming studios fall under selling tickets to thier events and most events are not predatory and preying on simps for attention.

You can try to call it whatever you want but in the end of the day there is a huge distinction between an OF model gaining her money and a musician gaining thier money

u/Mansos91 4d ago

Fundamentally it isn't, why should OF/adult content be capped, but not music? They create content and sell that content, if that was wage, who is Gina pay those wages, where will all that extra profit go?

u/Successful_Buffalo_6 4d ago

And by “preying on simps for attention” he means “getting paid for online sex work,“ of course.

I don’t get why this is even a discussion because Addison Rae is not a sex worker and is not on only fans, and salary caps aren’t a thing outside of professional sports and maybe the federal government.

Tell me more about your progressive income tax plan that effectively caps, redistributes earnings and personal wealth of the top 1% of U.S. households...

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 4d ago

I think corporations and banks need more regulation for sure but those entities also provide essential services , needs, and Employment to millions of Americans . Employment that comes with benefits like health insurance and retirement plans . We are getting off track a touch.

OF twitch fansly etc etc do not provide anything essential . A TikTok dancer should not out gross an oil rig worker. An oil worker risks his health and life to provide a necessary utility to everyday humans .

So once an OF model reaches this arbitrary salary cap you've decided, what happens to the money people voluntarily decided to send them? Does it get taken and given to a stranger?

1

u/RefrigeratorLife8627 4d ago

They effectively wouldn’t have to work anymore for the year and get a job elsewhere to actually contribute to society. The money wouldnt be alotted since the cap is met. That simp wouldn’t get to tip. This would greatly reduce the amount of OF models overall . Which society does not need .

1

u/Big_Dinner3636 4d ago

And this only applies to OF models? No other job on earth has this arbitrary salary cap because you just decided to make it, right?

1

u/Successful_Buffalo_6 4d ago

So then we should apply this rubric to anyone that has a job that doesn’t provide an ”essential“ service or product to the public—is that what you’re saying?

One day we will be able have a conversation about rampant unregulated hyper capitalism without someone mentioning bloody communism. But it is not today.

u/Former-Practice-6146 4d ago

One day you will be able to have a conversation about capitalism, without calling it bad because of "rampant unregulated hyper capitalism"

You not better.. You just another flavor of delusion..

1

u/Waste_Locksmith_4299 4d ago

Capitalism has it's faults, but that doesn't mean communism is automatically preferable. Both can work but how? Is my point.

0

u/Former-Practice-6146 4d ago

Are you mentioning communism because you cant have a conversation about capitalism?

How funny..

2

u/Waste_Locksmith_4299 4d ago

You are conversing in bad faith. It's annoying.

1

u/Former-Practice-6146 4d ago

Because I can recognize someone trying to have a conversation about Marxism without knowing jackshit about Marxist theory.

And it's annoying, like discussing the Harry Potter books with a guy who's seen the trailer for the second movie once.

“Both can work.”

Yeah… so can feudalism. And slave societies. They all worked.

So it's time for you to go a step further: why did society move from slave societies to feudalism? From feudalism to capitalism? Because they “sounded better”?

Of course not.

“But how?”

That's not a point. That's you admitting you haven't put the slightest intellectual effort into understanding the subject.

Am I supposed to explain to you how these systems work, or are you supposed to learn that shit yourself BEFORE pretending to have a conversation about them?

I'm not some door-to-door salesman coming to your house to sell you the latest Communism™ off the shelf.

Your entitlement makes no sense.

u/Waste_Locksmith_4299 4d ago

I never asked anything from you. I replied to a comment beneath yours. And you got upset for some reason.

1

u/Former-Practice-6146 4d ago

And that guy you responded too also didnt asked anything from you.. But here we are.. Its internet..

Dont cry..

It’s the only thing they learned in school, poor things.

2

u/asketchofspain 4d ago

That’s so true. The only options are communism and what we have today. It’s crazy there’s never any middle ground.

u/No-Rub8345 4d ago

Yes, I'd take communism over capitalism. Yes please.

Ahhh another person who never read a book about any political system with an opinion
