I don't know if I know any far-right people, but going through college I've lost count of the number of kids who'd casually joke about guillotines and mean it.

- Kednicma 6y agoLike, how did they mean it? Did they build guillotines? Did they kidnap members of the ruling class and subject them to public sham-trials before executing them? It's important to examine this claim carefully, when compared with the existence of for-profit prisons, prison labor, concentration camps; also when compared with gun-toting culture, like concealed carrying, brandishing, gun salutes, standing one's ground, shooting to kill, bringing guns to school... To be blasé and use your phrasing, going through high school, I happenh to know exactly [0] how many kids were lost because of gun and prison culture. Meanwhile I've yet to see kids using guillotines for anything beyond novelty-slicing melons.

- gnusty_gnurc 6y agoIf you use “guillotines” talk as an indicator of ideological fervor that culminates in something like CHOP where kids are getting murdered under the guise of social justice revolution, idk yea there’s extremism there.
