Explanation: “We should bring back the guillotine” or similar is a common internet quip in response to billionaires doing billionaire things, when in reality the guillotine was invented to provide equal and humane deaths to people of all classes, and from there it was always a tool of the state rather than the people. Not the best euphemism for “we should depose the bourgeoisie.” In fact plenty of Revolutionary justice folks were themselves offed by the guillotine during the Terror.
So the argument is that’s its ok to be reductive about your point, as long as it’s in favor of your point.
Thank you for clearing that up.
Edit: I will be continuing this discussion with various emotionally charged grunts.
