In France, fish isn't usually considered "meat" (viande).

In my child's school, there are only three dietary choices for the kids who eat at the canteen:

* No pork / sans porc (for the muslim or jewish children)

* No meat / sans viande (but there's still fish!)

* Everything

But the film mentioned "if you didn't you eat everyone", it wasn't talking about meat.

There are tonnes of people like that in Marxism. The irony is that they claim to want to liberate the working class when they were never part of it. Guevara especially came from a wealthy background.

YV was born into a monied family and married into one. He also went to private school as a child. As far as I know he has spent most of his life in an ivory tower.

irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite

> they claim to want to liberate the working class when they were never part of it

that is not irony.

Do you believe only working class people can improve the situation for working class people? That seems counter-intuitive to me, as people outside the working class usually have more time and education to think about changes and advocate for them.

Yanis Varoufakis is a curious character, endlessly promoted across mainstream media including the BBC. His wife is said to be the basis of Pulp's song "Common People" about a rich girl at St. Martin's College trying to slum it. That's debatable, but her father was one of the biggest industrialists in Greece. Yanis Varoufakis went to a private school in Athens and has taught at Cambridge... Seems like he has a pretty elite background.

How is that relevant here? Did anyone claim anything to the contrary?

Off topic, but you have used imgur as your image hosting site, which cannot be viewed in the UK. If you want all readers to be able to see and understand your points, please could you use a more universally reachable host?

Which one could be used so everybody can read it? So many different autocratic systems to think about...

I think it's easier if you adapt and get a VPN or a new government.

All the same, I probably get as many calls from recruiters to fill Java positions as I do JS positions. I've never used the former, and explaining it is always awkward!

I would tell them they are wasting your time by not offering you fitting jobs. It's on them to know what they are looking for, not on you

That approach works more often than it doesn’t — outside of certain spiraling situations most people don’t became alcoholics and drug addicts.

Some however do, which is why drugs and alcohol are controlled to some degree.

Following your argument shouldn't anything that can induce addiction be controlled? Seems that is not the case e.g. looking at sugar.

Gatekeeping, or self-promotion? You don't get investors/patents/promotions/tenure by making your knowledge or results sound simple and understandable.

Is that really the case or are you just assuming so? Seems counter-intuitive to me.

You can get charged for murder in Germany when killing someone with a car.
master-lincoln · 12 days ago
How is this relevant? Is there any object which you can use to kill someone that will make sure you can not be charged with murder in Germany?

Part of me has also been thinking "let people drive their imported huge trucks but with the understanding that if they kill someone in an accident its not just an accident, its a murder charge for willingly driving such a dangerous vehicle on public roads".
master-lincoln · 12 days ago
You could argue this for any car as moving such a heavy object at such speeds close to people is inherently high risk.
