      I kind of agree with this type of objection. But note that the instrument of death is a guillotine. That hearkens back to a time of radical societal change, the French Revolution.

        Additionally guillotines were seen as a more humane method of execution than the hangings and manual beheading of pre-Enlightenment France.

      There’s an air of truth to that in that, I want them to be tortured first. Don’t build the wood pyres so high at the start. Make sure the fire slowly creeps up to their vital organs. We should also flash scenes of violence and poverty caused by their actions into their retinas as they boil into greedy little pools of charred carbon.

      To answer the question you’re thinking, like a baby, every night. Zero issues.

      The classic lemmy response:

      “its not about the murder it’s symbolic of revolution”

      “um it’s satire”

      “murder is good sometimes”

        I’m sure in a future thread we’ll get a comment saying something like:

        “No one on Lemmy is saying we should murder billionaires”
