They hated Trotski because he told them the truth.

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

Where Trotsky's food was intentionally not

[–] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 45 points 9 hours ago

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.

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

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 19 points 9 hours ago

Did Trotsky have a thing for the owners?

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 95 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 78 points 11 hours ago

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

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

[–] ItalianMessiah@hexbear.net 53 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's infetterance to you

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

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 20 points 9 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').

[–] ManFreakBeast@hexbear.net 45 points 10 hours ago

This makes me more anti-Trot than anything else.

[–] Rod_Blagojevic@hexbear.net 28 points 9 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.

God no wonder he got the pika-pickaxe

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 56 points 11 hours ago (3 children)

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

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 61 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (2 children)

Incidentally, a snowpiercer is what killed him.

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

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 22 points 10 hours ago

Snowtrotter

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 37 points 10 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."

[–] borschtisgarbo@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 8 hours ago

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

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 52 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

God, he was such an asshole.

[–] coeliacmccarthy@hexbear.net 48 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Des@hexbear.net 29 points 10 hours ago

[–] CantaloupeAss@hexbear.net 30 points 11 hours ago

Trotsky, in many ways, had it coming
