Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do American kids rely on the school cafeteria than bringing their own food?English
11·1 month agoThe lunch arrangements will vary greatly by age/grade level. A high school is more likely to have the canteen style while an elementary school is more likely to have the cafeteria style. In either case, bringing a lunch from home is also reasonably common.
No matter how well you understand the passage of time in the abstract it’s a shock the first time you meet a full grown adult, with their own keys and everything, but you can remember what you were doing in the year they were born.

1·1 month agoI’m saying that the bombing, etc. of Nazi Germany was a justifiable level of force under the circumstances. I’m splitting hairs and making a big deal over the difference between “force” and “violence”. I think it’s important to know exactly where that line is so as to avoid stepping over it, so I’m not just being intransigent and clinging to a minor point here.
The guillotine symbolizes to me a clear stepping over of the line from justified force to mob violence. And I think we would be better off if everyone shared my opinion.

1·1 month agoIt looks like you ninja-edited in the second part of your comment. I was responding to the original that only had quotes of prior comments and nothing else. That would have been a low-effort comment not really worth responding to.
was it a mistake to bomb, kill, and invade nazi Germany?
No. But it would be a mistake to start bombing political rallies today, for example.

But a guillotine is not a weapon of war. It’s not even something that the powerless can use against the powerful. Quite the opposite, actually.
Which makes the guillotine is a terrible symbol for a revolution. Not only is the symbolism ahistorical, but the actual history directly contradicts the supposed symbolism. The modern people who invoke the guillotine as a symbol of revolution are making the exact same mistake that the French Revolutionaries made.
