Jewish restaurants would traditionally be either meat or dairy based because kashrut (kosher dietary laws) forbid mixing meat and milk.

I like to imagine trotsky as a Bullworth eugenicsist "everybody gotta keep ducking everybody until we are all the same color"

I’m sorry if this is inappropriate to ask, but is Sean alright? I saw something in the cushvlog subreddit about a stroke, I don’t want to speculate and you can delete this comment if you want to. But thanks for all you guys do

IDK. Based on alot of the trots I have known, not tipping on principle seems pretty on the nose. also, imagine such Yankee Doodle Dandy from a modern leftist. Gum should not be banned, but it's production should be only supported on a hobbyist basis.

depends on which antipathy. much of it comes from stalin's liquidation of the left opposition and show trials against the old bolsheviks and trotsky https://www.marxists.org/archive/shachtma/1936/xx/trial.htm

Can someone point me towards a good source for explaining the antipathy towards Trotsky and Trotskyists?
