        Yea like i get that but then in that context it’s like, he’s going to pay to fuck war? I don’t know what that means??? I guess the idea that war is attractive to young men, in general, and there isn’t more to it than that? It just seems like a confused message when people use sex workers and their bodies, but in the context of war it’s the young soldiers whose bodies are used up, by the bourgeoisie

          It’s a misogynistic framing of sex workers as wicked seductresses leading innocent boys astray. It’s saying that dumbass euro leaders are thinking with their war boners but framing it as a naive folly rather than a deliberate choice.

            Liberals were asked if they want the total war experience.

            A wise liberal asked “How much will it cost me?”

            “Only your future prosperity and some of your freedoms” said the removed of the plutocrats. “But the people you’ll pay to kill for you are really evil.”

            “Then fuck yeah! Total war!!!”

          It could just as well have set “love hotel” or whatever. Its just set dressing.

              Im taking a stab at it and guessing that war was super romanticized back then, and romanticizing something is a facsimile of real love, like a prostitute

      A furnished room is one where the landlord provides the furniture, implying less permanency than a room where the tenant brings their own. It’s probably also a SRO or single room occupancy with shared bathroom. So a bed, a chair, a dresser that’s it.

      It’s not a hotel room or a flophouse but it’s making a class commentary on the sex worker that is perhaps lost on us in 2026, that is she is an established professional (can afford her own place to host Johns) but still living on the fringes with probably only what she can carry in a couple of large bags.

          Also like a women renting her own room is scandalous at that time too. She should have a husband or be with family.
