There is no ethical consumption under capitalism bro, everything is equally bad

I won’t stop buying slaves until the state compels me not to, until then to each their own and let’s agree to disagree and I’ll have you know my family needs their labor

It’s great that you can live without slaves though, keep being an anti-slavery activist it’s awesome!

You’re the best!

Do we have to have trillionaires before we get to vote with our guillotines?

Historical usage of the guillotine mostly targeted nobles who were in the way of the bourgeoisie, leftist revolutionaries, and proletarian criminals.

As much as we romanticize the guillotine, strikes, sabotages, and bricks are the tools of the working class. They have a pretty good track record.

Although I can't lie, I always smile when protesters bring out a mini guillotine and the ruling class media starts panicking :)

Guillotine is just a humorous reference. I am not imagining seriously toppling western oligarchy by rolling a guillotine on wall street.
