My favorite comment about the Verrus CEO fleeing after seeing a guillotine out the city council in Salem, OR.

@itwasntme223 *If you see a guillotine and immediately assume it’s for you, maybe you should reconsider some life choices.*

Exactly my first thought.

[kennergf@mas.to]

@itwasntme223 if you haven't done anything wrong you don't have anything to fear

[rozeboosje@masto.ai]

@ItWasntMe223 what was he afraid of?

[itwasntme223@social.epic-worlds.com]

@rozeboosje Pretty sure. Gotta watch out for cigars. They're bad for your health.

@itwasntme223
This is why I love the concept of psychological projection.
Its a public admission of someones bad behaviour but they don't actually realise they are giving out a warning about it to the wider world.

@itwasntme223 Honestly, my response is still going to be "what the fuck" rather than "that's cool," but I will not think Monsieur Jacques Ketch has my name on the list.

@itwasntme223 Who choses to company with a name so close to "virus"?

[simagick@freeradical.zone]

@kennergf @ItWasntMe223

That is typically a talking point used when discussing government overreach, and not typically around the display of performance art during a peaceful protest.

How does it apply here?

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@linuxandyarn @ItWasntMe223 Lol, I'm with you on this one. "Neat" is definitely not the first thing that springs to mind, but I definitely wouldn't assume it was for me either.

One certainly should live their life such that any guillotines being brought about are not for them.

@MonkeyPanic @ItWasntMe223 idk shades of if you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to fear.

[linuxandyarn@hachyderm.io]

@nazokiyoubinbou @itwasntme223 I do that pretty well. I'm much more afraid of seeing a bunch of assholes tumble out of moving trucks carrying guns and rope.

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@linuxandyarn @ItWasntMe223 *Exactly.* We have to worry about the bad people. They have to worry about the bad people *and* the good people.

[lritter@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@zebratale @MonkeyPanic @itwasntme223 it's a simple test. if you can fearlessly stand the presence of a guillotine for 60 seconds, you will be absolved of all sins. otherwise, no matter what you did, it chops for theeeee

@lritter @zebratale @MonkeyPanic @itwasntme223

If the cap fits... well, most likely your head fits as well.

[itwasntme223@social.epic-worlds.com]

@pq1r Probably subconciously. lol

[itwasntme223@social.epic-worlds.com]

@nazokiyoubinbou @linuxandyarn Most of my response to all of this has been a "huh. Here we are now" while looking at history and the obvious patterns we had once seen.

[itwasntme223@social.epic-worlds.com]

@raymierussell I can see that. It is like him and the rest of his type have a massive disconnect and no realization that they actually aren't liked.

[itwasntme223@social.epic-worlds.com]

@kennergf Until someone changes the definition of wrong.
