National socialism is the inevitable end result of all socialism. Faced with the economic ruin that the cradle to grave policies of the Weimar republic inevitably ran into, the german people had a choice. Either give up their entitlements, or restrict those entitlements to a narrower subset of the population. Being a democracy, the majority decided to oppress the minority and 'fix' their budget shortfalls by expropriating the wealth of the minorities who had it, and exterminating the minorities who that wealth otherwise would have been redistributed to.

All democratic socialisms share the same fate, when people gang up to rob a smaller group. they don't intend to share those ill gotten gains with outsiders.

There used to be a qt /fit/ girl who volunteered at the same food bank I did and every time she came in, this morbidly obese black guy would come up to her and tell her that she was too skinny and that she wasn't eating right. Didn't matter how many times she or anyone else told him to knock it off, every single time she came in, he'd waddle on up to her to tell her to eat more. She stopped coming in after a few months.

You've been memed. French food is quite simple in general, if you're thinking of haute cuisine it's as if you were comparing driving a F1 and a fiat. They're both cars, but one is used everyday by all sorts of people, while the other is a niche keeping richfags entertained.

When we're making food it generally takes between 10 and 40 minutes, most of which is leaving shit getting cooked alone in the pan or the oven.

Why do americans obsess so much over french fries when belgian fries are infinitely better?

>> No.9078964

American's totally love and admire french food. Which is a tragedy because apart from LA, no other region has much French influence. American food culture is English, German and to a lesser extent Italian and Mexican (as understood through the lens of English and German cuisine, hence the emphasis on meat and cheese). But none of these cuisines are held in any regard compared to French. This is partly why the food culture in large swathes of the country sucks. The stuff people cook at home or even go out to eat on a regular basis has no connection to the food the admire. Which means most home and restaurant cooking is done with an inherent inferiority complex.
