That's fine with me, I don't have any interest in "let's just kill a bunch of people" as an ideology. It's objectively wrong.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 28 points 8 months ago

That's not the ideology though, guillotine memes are essentially just pushing for revolutionary restructuring of the state and economy. Nobody simply thinks "kill rich" and stops thinking there.

Nobody simply thinks "kill rich" and stops thinking there.

That's news to me, I always got the impression that "????" Was the next step after "kill rich"

More accurately, revolutionary restructuring of society is the first step towards a better future.

Believe it or not, they are. Only humans are capable of such cruelty.

This is silly. Billionaires are people, otherwise guillotines wouldn't be effective.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 3 points 8 months ago

The guillotines aren't necessary if the rich would strive for a better society.

The thing is that they would never agree to that, so then we need the guillotine.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

The path to a better society is elimination of Capitalism, so Capitalists aren't really going to agree to that, no matter how nice it would make things.

In this case it would be self-defense. The only reason anyone thinks otherwise is because the danger posed by a billionaire money hoarder is far more abstract than what most people are accustomed to.
