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.
What if they are the enemy? You know, sometimes other people ARE your enemy. Typically when they support harming you or ones you love. Harm can include physical harm, like masked agents shooting people in the face or beating and maiming protestors. It can include removing rights, like human rights over your own body or your right to privacy, or your right to due process. Harm can include representatives they elect withholding aid to states that didn’t support them. Harm can include removing or crippling social services that have been proven to save many, many lives on an annual basis.
These are all things that are actually happening. Sooooooo…
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.
So you’re OK with someone putting a guillotine on your lawn if they disagree with you?
Because that’s what you’re advocating.
Again, tell me how you’ve never read a word about the French Revolution.
We aren’t talking about people that don’t like the same flavor of ice cream we do. We’re talking about people activing seeking to harm us or the people we love in various ways. And who are currently succeeding in doing so.
You’re arguing in bad faith by painting with a mega broad brush.
I mean, if I was murdering innocent people, poisoning others, preventing people from accessing medicine for easily treatable diseases, and raping children with the express backing of the government, I’d hope for the love of God somebody put a guillotine on my lawn with full intent to use it.
To answer your question succinctly: Yes.
Spoiler alert: The correct answer to the paradox of tolerance is specifically NOT unlimited tolerance.

It’s not a disagreement, they are killing and raping children, starving people, killing millions in wars, destroying the habitability of the planet, etc.
They will not stop until they are arrested or dead, and I’ve never seen them get arrested.
Edit: the to they
It’s this ☝️
We literally saw two American citizens executed by ICE and there has been zero accountability.
They shot Alex Pretti in the back of the head for protecting an American citizen and no one is in jail.
People on here complaining about guillotine stickers are detached from the current reality.
Yup. We are being warned that there will be no accountability, even for the most villainous of acts, unless we FORCE there to be.
Our system of checks and balances has definitively failed. Now what?
i think people exaggerate. i don’t think they really want political violence, but i could be wrong.
edit: i mean, if they really mean it then we have a lot more progress to cover as far as becoming the utopia that most people want. please don’t misconstrue my point. we should want to go forward not backward as it sometimes seems.
There is already a ton of political violence occurring.
Of course there is. But we must do our parts to try and end it. Idk how though, I am new to politics but I know enough to know what’s right and wrong, imo.
The correct answer to someone who will not stop violence is to violently end them.
No, it’s not pretty. No, it’s not comfortable. No, it’s not easy to do so while retaining the optics of the moral high ground. Yet that is the only answer that actually works.
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.
