Every day is guillotine day if you're brave enough.
The best time to build a guillotine was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
If I ever ran for president, I'd run on the platform of building a permanent, working guillotine next to every capitol building in the US. Then I'd have a giant guillotine the size of the Statue of Liberty built of American steel, and have it sent to the people of France.
I'm not though. -_-
Or at the very least, I'm fully aware that any attempt I have the means to make would be nigh-guaranteed to yield nothing, and either get me killed or imprisoned. So... daydream time is over; back to the grind.
I don't know man, those J6 nutters did kinda demonstrate that it's surprisingly easy. No one expects the guillotine.
There's got to be a better way than sinking to their level.
Resorting to violence or even a full blown coup wouldn't come close to sinking to their level if it's actually justified. Doing that kind of thing because your team lost a vote or because you hate non-white/non-straight/non-Christian/non-male people would be stooping to MAGA's level. Decapitating a handful of supervillains who have their boot on humanity's neck is a gain for everyone except our oppressors.
Same, unfortunately.
Also, I'm not great at carpentry.
I love the symmetry of this. I bet the French would set it up near Versailles.
