Bannon isn't calling for their literal decapitation either. "Head on a pike" is an euphemism for getting fired. Another way to say this is "heads should roll" which also does not mean decapitation. Also, when someone "eviscerates" someone, that doesn't mean literal disembowelment, just so we're clear. Nor does "raking over coals" or "drawing and quartering" mean literal torture. But people here just pretend to be obtuse and feign outrage instead. Zuck chooses not to do that because he's an adult. Kudos to Zuck.
- nemothekid 6y agoThe next thing Bannon said he would like to return to Tudor England. Was “head on a pike” a euphemism in 14th century British politics? Then Jack goes into a quip about how people used to hang traitors. Did you not hear the rest of the conversation? You are bending so far incredibly backwards for a guy with an incredibly poor moral compass that’s slinging death threats at a public servant who already has to hire body guards.
