      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.

        But also note that 99% of the victims of the guillotine during the French revolution were innocent commoners, most of the nobility escaped abroad long before the reign of terror started, and the final victim of the terror was the guy who had been in charge of it.

        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”
