Sounds like glorifying political mass-murder to me. That seems in profoundly poor taste.
Every person who died under the blade of one of those guillotines was a human being, with hopes & fears, good & evil in his soul. The great number of them weren’t murderers, rapists or thieves: they were just people who had the unfortunate bad luck to be born into the wrong caste.
- Jotra7 8y agoWhat's the matter? You afraid of the same thing?
- icebraining 8y agoEh, it's more making fun of the people who get in a frenzy over the name. Maybe still in poor taste, but not really glorifying the deaths. In fact, many of the guillotined were Jacobins themselves.
