EAT THE RICH
Apparently I can’t post a picture of a guillotine. Thanks mods /s
Inatimate objects are threats of violence. That's what I learned.
I wonder if ASCII art counts.
Can we still use words?
I'm thinking we find ourselves some solid contextual clues to use.
“Remember the French”!
"A little off the top!?"
Too clean.
Cerebral bore?

Turok 2 for you youngins' 🤪That sound will always be seared in my memory. It is the scariest sound ever.
And yet it's end result is so satisfying. Nostalgia hitting harder than usual today, and I'm all for it.
I used to play multi-player with friends. Nothing is scarier than hearing that thing coming for you. Turok 2 and Perfect Dark were my favorite shooter games back in the day.
Agreed
I think you are being too traditional in its application.
Start at one end, with a 1mm cutting depth and repeat until the job is done. Thinly sliced and ready for sandwiches.
Oh I like you.
I am told I am a lot of fun at parties.
You know, I have bloody-minded thoughts about these scumbags too, the kind of things that might earn me a visit from law enforcement if I spelled them out, but then I think about the negative impact actually doing those things would have on anyone’s psyche. Instead, we should take their money and sentence them to work on an organic farm for the rest of their lives.
Some days I have such thoughts as well, in the end I put that down to skipping over the revolutionary part: If the transition goes cleanly, sure, no need. We can adorn the former rich with gold chains a la More's Utopia. But in revolutionary times, the reactionary armies will still be in full force. In such times, the logistics behind the guillotine are much simpler than running a prison system for capitalists and their crony politicians.
Fair, I was more replying to the idea a guillotine is “too clean” which implies that some sort of torturous death is preferred. I agree that in the process of any revolution a guillotine (or a bullet) may be necessary.
I just want to get on with life and rebuilding America into something that doesn't suck. I say a bullet would do the job just fine, far as clearing out the Epstein and ICE classes go. They aren't the kind of people you want as neighbors, and honestly, would waste a lot of resources to house them in prisons for life.
Those resources should go towards universal healthcare, parental leave, and so forth.
haha actually I meant to say: the guillotine looks too clean, I'd rather see much-used, bloodied guillotines :)
This.
