It is not, in much the same way as a blind person's labour of painting is not equal to the labour of a trained, talented renaissance artist. Labour theory of value does not discount the existence of natural talent nor learned abilities - the example of wearing panties is a typical reddit-tier right-wing "gotcha", but it just doesn't apply.
Not everyone is equally qualified to do every sort of labour, and it's not purely proficiency either. No matter how many years you spend perfecting your singing, if you're naturally tone-deaf, you'll never do better than a talented 12-year-old with minimal training and experience.

Nope, that was very much me! Are you still in the same place? I was nearby over the weekend (Pilsen) to go look at the fatasses in riot gear.

To be fair, if you follow the link posted nearby you will see that I explicitly mentioned SRDine-like behaviour, from the other side. Obviously I'm not suggesting that @Amadan is SRDine-like in his political outlook. Au contraire, I believe that he is a mirror image of an average SRDine, with SRDine-like behaviour and characteristic self-rightiousness, but with the opposite viewpoint.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Absolutely!
The explanation here is roughly the same as why a certain Argentinian dwarf can get more people willing to pay absurd amount of money just to look at him and will generate a larger worldwide audience interest than all the 18-year-old e-THOTs combined, without needing to sell his underwear whatsoever (though I'm sure if he wanted to, he would likely generate a higher price than his "competition").
The process for him acquiring this ability is slightly different than that of said attractive 18-year-olds, but not qualitatively so - it is based on people watching him do shit on their electronic devices, similarly to girls you mentioned. A 38-year-old South American male can easily generate a larger audience for anything, even cooking eggs, than the most attractive 18-year-old in history of humanity could possibly hope to.
Does that help?

No offence, but I'm pretty far from Impassionata, lol. It's slightly insulting that none of you guys remember me...
SRDine just means someone from SRD.

Would you like a good-faith Marxist explanation for the used panties market?
Not really. The superdog ICE mural is cool, I chuckled, but generally it is pretty boring. It's fascinating how right-wingers adopted the whole "Chicago is drowning in crime" thing uncritically, simply because their talking heads repeated it enough. Don't get me wrong - it's not exclusive to right wing, Eurolibs do it to an even greater extent, but I think that this just really solidifies the post-truth world. I'm completely certain most people on this site, for instance, are certain that Chicago is an extremely scary place and would be terrified of Pilsen...
PS. Holy shit this server sucks. Are you guys running it on ZX Spectrum or something? There can't be that much traffic here to justify 10-minute loading times...
