      Some people will jump on a comment about guillotines and say that’s it’s a call to violence.

      But in practice, you’re never going to get a billionaire into a guillotine by strongarming them with a mob. They’re usually too well protected or reclusive.

      The guillotine is more of a reminder of the historical context of how the common people express their dissatisfaction with the ruling class.

      It’s not okay to kill people. But they are killing us. It might not look like a direct effect because they’re not walking through the streets shooting people. They’re just “steering us headlong into apocalyptic climate disaster.” This way they can kill far more people than by walking through the streets shooting people. And while that might not necessarily be their intention, it is the effect they’re having on the world.
