Read on Twitter
Joined Twitter in Jan. & has more than 26,000 followers from posting her nude photographs all over the internet & occasionally tweeting half-baked spicy anarchist takes. Her followers lap the whole hot left-wing gun girl brand up because leftism in the US is an aesthetic project
I& #39;m not calling her out personally but it irks me that so many tireless & disciplined journalists & activists are struggling to find a platform despite the seriousness of the subjects they focus on. If you really want to coast your way to the top the message is: sell your nudes

I didn& #39;t say she is an op nor that her goal was simply to sell nudes. But I& #39;m curious what message people think it sends to show women that if they want leftist men to listen to them on Twitter they better show some ass? https://twitter.com/NatSecReporter/status/1308149715981172740?s=19">https://twitter.com/NatSecRep...
Getting backlash over these tweets. Had a mutual reach out & ask me to delete them. I won& #39;t unless someone demonstrates they actually caused harm. The mutual asked me to expand on my position, so I will. I won& #39;t be defending myself against attacks I& #39;m an incel/women hater etc
First if Merrick has gotten any rude comments because of what I tweeted, I& #39;m sorry. I haven& #39;t seen that. But I think that a lot of men are angry at me because they like to use pornography to feel close (sexually) to a dollar store revolutionary aesthetic and I exposed that
I tried to make my critique about actions. The actions of Merrick& #39;s choosing and the consequences they have. And the actions of the left in relation to her, and those consequences. I perhaps failed in that but I never made any personal insults, and have received quite a few
Some women have also said I am "slut shaming." But I have never criticized anyone for having too much sex. What I have criticized is the use of porn to gain a platform on the left, and I have criticized the left even more harshly for creating a culture which enables that
Others have said "well, sex sell." As if that& #39;s news. And as if that makes it ok for the left to perpetuate the commodification of women& #39;s bodies.
More broadly I am critical of the term "sex work." I believe it is used to paper over the class differences between people who identify as "sex workers" & women who sell their body because of capitalism. Lumping these things together is harmful for women of the latter category
Everyone I have encountered in the real world who says they are a "sex worker" does not actually have (or have to have) sex for work. Very different lives from those I& #39;ve known who do. The left& #39;s mainstreaming of "sex work" is neither helpful to women nor for building socialism
