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

[-] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 90 points 10 months ago

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

[-] JustSo@hexbear.net 79 points 10 months ago

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

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 49 points 10 months ago

Where Trotsky's food was intentionally not

[-] GoodGuyWithACat@hexbear.net 77 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ItalianMessiah@hexbear.net 66 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 25 points 10 months 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').

God, he was such an asshole.

[-] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 59 points 10 months ago

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

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].

[-] kristina@hexbear.net 59 points 10 months ago

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

[-] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 24 points 10 months ago

Did Trotsky have a thing for the owners?

[-] newacctidk@hexbear.net 57 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 55 points 10 months ago

This makes me more anti-Trot than anything else.

God no wonder he got the pika-pickaxe

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 44 points 10 months 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."

[-] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 36 points 10 months ago

Trotsky, in many ways, had it coming

[-] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 35 points 10 months 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 35 points 10 months ago

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

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 16 points 10 months 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 10 months ago

They hated Trotski because he told them the truth.

[-] borschtisgarbo@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 10 months ago

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

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago

Why do I have to be Mr. Pink?

[-] WeedReference420@hexbear.net 20 points 10 months 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.

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago

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