The Marxist thing to do is to tip based on the labor-time, rather than the menu price of the food.

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 12 points 10 hours ago

Alternate timeline: He successfully installs a Trotskyist government in the United States, solely on account of the tipping issue

[-] Tychoxii@hexbear.net 13 points 13 hours ago

They hated Trotski because he told them the truth.

Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?

[-] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 16 points 10 hours ago

Trotsky: Why can't we pick our own revolutionary names?

Lenin: No way, no way. Tried it once, it doesn't work. You get four guys all fighting over who's gonna be Man of Steel.

Trotsky as an "I don't tip and have an entire ideological justification prepared in advance" is chefs kiss delicious.

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 41 points 20 hours ago

Where Trotsky's food was intentionally not

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 98 points 22 hours ago

He's right but the restaurant is not the time or place for it.

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 80 points 22 hours ago

Good reminder that even when you have a point make sure you are aiming in the right direction.

In another incident, the restaurant staff conspired to serve him undercooked food that left him bedridden for several days with a severe case of diarrhea, giving rise to the name "the trots" as a popular euphemism for said malady [citation needed].

Love that he made this a microcosm of his entire belief system, rejecting material reality to grandstand in a way that just so happens to align with whatever benefits him personally.

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 48 points 20 hours ago

this is anticommunist. a communist tips well enough that the staff will conspire with you to fuck the owners

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 19 points 20 hours ago

Did Trotsky have a thing for the owners?

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 62 points 21 hours ago

He also asked the cashier to scan the candy bars individually to prevent electronic interference.

[-] ItalianMessiah@hexbear.net 56 points 21 hours ago

That's infetterance to you

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 34 points 21 hours ago

FUCK I typed it correctly but my stupid phone autocorrected. walter-shock

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 20 points 20 hours ago

Bruh, my old phone used to let me type the words I want, but my new phone (ALSO of the exact same brand and type, but a far newer model) will change correctly typed words into different words that it must've assumed I meant; i hate it so much (also it'll pick and choose when to capitalize a lone 'i').

Trotsky should have just been left on his armored train going around a loop in Siberia like it's snowpiercer

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 63 points 21 hours ago

Incidentally, a snowpiercer is what called him.

We may not have gotten a snowpiercer, but an ice piercer isn't too far off.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 24 points 21 hours ago

Snowtrotter

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 45 points 21 hours ago

This makes me more anti-Trot than anything else.

[-] Zoift@hexbear.net 53 points 22 hours ago

God, he was such an asshole.

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 52 points 22 hours ago

you're not wrong leon, you're just an asshole

[-] RedWizard@hexbear.net 37 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

God no wonder he got the pika-pickaxe

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 39 points 21 hours ago

This is one of those things you read and you just kinda roll your eyes and go "yep, that seems like something he would do."

[-] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 27 points 21 hours ago

I'm not gonna do any work to figure out if this is real. I think it's funny and I want it to be real.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 28 points 21 hours ago

as someone who worked for tips for 5 years, fuck that stiff

[-] borschtisgarbo@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 19 hours ago

Why would he try to persuade other customers? No wonder they splashed him with soup. Evil fucker

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 29 points 22 hours ago

Trotsky, in many ways, had it coming
