      Who cares about history? This is 2023. People in history would disagree with people today about slavery and marital rape too. Should we reconsider allowing those things?

          Okay, what does history have to teach us about feeding children? When does history say “don’t feed children?” Go for it.

            The wives and children of those arrested and executed were dealt with by the NKVD Order No. 00486. The women were sentenced to forced labour for 5 or 10 years.[77] Their minor children were put in orphanages. All possessions were confiscated. Extended families were purposely left with nothing to live on, which usually sealed their fate as well, affecting up to 200,000–250,000 people of Polish background depending on the size of their families.[77] The NKVD national operations were conducted on a quota system using album procedure. The officials were mandated to arrest and execute a specific number of so-called “counter-revolutionaries”, compiled by administration using various statistics but also telephone books with names sounding non-Russian.[78]

              Sorry… how is that an argument to not feed children? That sounds like a bad thing. Are you actually arguing that is good?

                If you recall, we were talking about warnings from history. These children were not being fed, their bourgeois parents were being evicted sent to gulags and exterminated for owning a typewriter or a horse or something.

                You said children were not bourgeois this is a lesson about the children of the “bourgeois”

                  That doesn’t make the children themselves bourgeois. They have no control over the money or the circumstances under which they were born.

                  And, again, let’s see your historical argument for not feeding children.

                    They don’t have one, they’re just a shitty little troll. They say the government shouldn’t be feeding people, then say they aren’t against free school lunches, because their only goal is to piss people off

                    I bet as they were being placed in to orphanages or starving with their mums they were thinking well this is very unfair we’re not the “bourgeoisie”

                    Has it happens neither with their debt but the state of the USSR didn’t seem to mind.

                    I can give you the example of present day where I live all children where I live get free school meals up to age 6. I don’t need them I can afford to buy my own kids meals as can all the other parents at my school more or less, but we have no choice. Does that sound sensible to you?

                    For the record I am in favor of feeding needy children as I have said before but perhaps not to you
