Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Guillotines are far cheaper. There's a reason they're a fan favorite.

They're are quick and messy. And someone has to do it. This is way more entertaining and the problem takes care of itself.

This isn't and shouldn't be about entertainment. This should be about equality and fear.

That and you bet your ass, if someone rolls one in, there will be a crowd with waaaaaay too many people willing to pull the cord.

People are currently not eating. People are being bombed. People are freezing to death.

It's not enough

You're dead serious. I'm joking. It's not that I take the situation lightly, but it's a blessing to behave so lightly in such a situation.

No need for bets. I'm sure that's what will happen. The elites know it too and they're building secret bunkers to escape it. Currently they are stretching the divide and rule tactic as far as it can, by getting the ordinary men and women to fight each other. But they know that it won't work forever.

However, I must warn you. The results won't be as clean and just as you imagine it to be. Angry people yearn for vengeance, not justice. It won't stop until a lot of innocent blood is also spilt. That's what happened in the French Revolution too.

The same people won't seek other solutions until a tragedy is inevitable. Whenever I speak a solution that can recover our economy before it goes south, the same ordinary people scoff at me saying it's wishful thinking, ignoring the fact that it has been implemented successfully several times in the past as a measure of resistance.

Ropes are cheaper yet and work just fine. And they don't deserve better than the short drop.
