    How odd that he immediately knew it was for him. As if he knows full well what he is doing is evil and that he was there to ruin the citizens of Salem and then escape to his new yacht in the Bahamas.

      Oh, they’re all very aware. That’s why they’re building bunkers, and buying islands, and building bunkers on islands.

        Once they lock themselves into their bunkers, we just pour a few tons of concrete over the bunker entrance and call it a day.

        Future archaeologists will marvel at the elaborate tombs our kings built for themselves.

            But, really – who cares? Let them live out their pathetic lives in their sealed-off bunkers. As long as they never come out, who cares what they do in there? Let them live for decades in their coward-hole. Give them plenty of time to think about the decisions that led to this. Until, finally, their food runs out, their servants murder them, or they run into a medical issue that they don’t have supplies to fix. And then the bunker becomes their tomb. And nobody will notice or care when they die, because to the rest of the world, they’re already dead.

      If another revolution were to happen in France, the railway unions, who have mobile sausage grill trolleys that roll along tram tracks to feed protest marchers, would presumably be entrusted with guillotine logistics

          I was referring to the utility of railway tracks for transporting bulky objects when one has the means to use them. And if grills, then why not guillotines?

          Were the revolution to take the idea of eating the rich literally, one could attach a woodchipper behind the guillotine in place of the traditional basket. Though eating unpopular rulers may be more a Dutch tradition than a French one.

    A device like this can be used to cut delicious, cold watermelon, pineapples, and other fruits for serving to protesters, on hot summer days. We’re getting more hot summer days recently, as it happens.

    A fully functional one can be built by a handyman using basic tools in a garage workshop in a day. Everything you need can be found at your local homecenter store.

    Here’s a video of such a fruit cutter in action: https://youtu.be/CJvIzsxmnBY

      Bringing a guillotine to a protest merely to show it off and make a statement is a great way to have blackshirts (also known as the police) harassing you about making “terroristic threats”.

      Cutting fruit with it sends the same message, while also demonstrating that the device actually works and is not for show. And you have a legitimate reason for having it. What, officer? I’m not threatening anyone with this. This is a watermelon-cutting machine.

      There’s a limit to what I’d want to witness. Holding a head up is right on the line. Dropping a living person in to a woodchipper? No thank you.

      Seriously though, I’d rather see them rot in prison. Death is the easy way out.

        Nah. Cut them down where they stand.

        Prison for people like this would necessitate an overhaul of the justice system. And “capital punishment” is something the state should never have the power to exact.

        They deserve to be put down in the streets, extrajudicially, by citizens who give a shit about their country.

    And he has the perfect head for it too. Like, its the perfect shape and everything.

    A human sized dickhead going into a giant vagina with a meat cleaver in it…It’s like they were meant for each other.

    And a mobile guillotine hauled by a bicycle is the greenest shit ever.

    So when are we going to start popping these big juicy white heads? I’m starving.

          It’s 2026.

          I think we can strap some 1850s to some wood and a kitchen knife to make a portable, electric-powered guillotine that’s safe and easy to carry in a milk crate zip tied to a rear rack
