I believe if everyone who was against the current oligarchy started placing guillotine stickers everywhere, like you might for a favorite band, people would feel less isolated in their distaste for the current system.

And in an ideal world those who the guillotines are for might realize just how much they are in the minority.

    I’m confused about why people think the guillotine is cool. Feeling entitled to lynch people who you see as the enemy is the symbol of being a psychopath, not a symbol of social justice.

      Most peoples’ first step isn’t lynching. This serves as a symbol for what is to come if they don’t stop their incessant greed. They should be afraid.

      It's afraid.

      Anyone else notice a sudden uptick in guillotine related content over the past week or so?

        It’s been steadily growing for a while now, seems like resistance in general is high in the zeitgeist lately.

          People are getting angrier every day because no one is holding real criminals who harm millions, accountable.

          In fact it’s being enabled by all levels of government.

          We are angry because regular citizens are being called terrorist because they attend protest or try to defend themselves against out-of-control cops and ice “agents”.

          We are angry that data centers have more protection and rights than a regular human citizen.

          We are angry our neighbors, friends, family are being dragged out of the homes, cars, or just off the street. Beaten. Held in gulags and starved and tortured for months , illegally. And no one is stopping it.

          We are angry our taxes are being used to murder innocent people in other countries in some of the most inhumane and horrendous ways. Children burned alive. Men and women beaten and raped. And raped by dogs in israel prisons.

          That’s our money doing those things instead of being used to care for our citizens.

          Not even getting into bombing schools and hospital of innocent people. Whoes only crime is being on land with a resource our president and his buddies want.

          We are angry about those things and so many more.

          The people responsible should be grateful it’s a guillotine and not a chainsaw.

          Guillotine is fast clean death. They don’t deserve that.
