    Why would he assume it was for him? Unless he knows he has done something to warrant it.

    When I see a gullotine, it doesn’t make me nervous. Cause I know it’s not for me.

    His reaction is admission of guilt.

      To be fair if you have read anything about the guillotine you may realize that it doesn’t necessarily matter if it’s for you. Once people start using that thing it seems to be like a bag of lays chips.

        People do usually get a bit carried away once they start executing during revolutions.

        I am aware that happened for the French one.

        Weird that so many Nazis were spared though. Only a fraction of them faced any consequences.

        But I do recall that the after Germany was defeated , a lot of women sex workers were beaten and abused by their neighbors and called traitors when these women likely had very little say in turning down Nazi clients.

        (In occupied countries)

        Likewise the business owners in collaboration with Nazis should have been targeted more but instead people went after sex workers.

        Beat them. Shaved their heads. Spit on them.

        Easier targets.

      That assumes he thinks the people are right that his actions warrant consequences. He can be aware it’s about him but also think they are wrong about his actions being a problem.

        People shoulosd never come down to such threats, say the guys who totally ignore non-violent opposition.

      Understanding that people are mad at you isn’t the same as accepting guilt, what are you talking about? Like I’m not saying he isn’t guilty as sin, but I highly doubt he has that level of self awareness.

        For example, everyone knew the gallows were for Mike pence, but that doesn’t mean that Mike pence was doing the wrong thing… In that occasion…

        That’s fair.

        Surely he knows people don’t want these data centers. And is fully aware that he’s using underhanded unethical tactics to get it approved despite this.

        But maybe I’m giving these people more credit than they deserve.

        Most people with no ethics actually believe that what they do is fine and not wrong.

          Honestly, I don’t think these people really think in terms of morality at all. They never even consider what they should or shouldn’t do, only what they can do.

      This is the 4th time I’ve seen a post about this the past week with a top comment saying exactly the same (just with different words). It feels like being back on the latter years of reddit. And please don’t misunderstand me, I don’t disagree with you or the other three top comments about this at all, it’s just a new experience here on lemmy that mirrors what I’ve seen on reddit and other places before that which weirdly worries me. It’s this feeling of “this place has gotten too big or too divided to a point where the same thread happens over and over within a very short amount of time”.
      But I’m gonna be clear about thinking it’s very possibly just my brain doing the weird shit it does and it not actually being a bad sign or the state of lemmy.

        Lemmy is very left leaning. You are likely to hear many leftist view points repeated.

        Reddit used to be mostly left but due to censorship in the last 2 years it’s mostly overran by bots and sock puppet accounts.

        It wasn’t the leftist that ruined reddit. Quite the opposite.

    If you see a guillotine and immediately assume it’s for you, maybe you should reconsider some life choices. Because the vast majority of people would see a guillotine and go “oh that’s fucking cool” instead of assuming it was there specifically for them.

      They might also go “that’s concerning”. Most people aren’t great fans of violence, so the implication of a violent device might worry them.

      But they still wouldn’t go “they’re coming for me”, unless they have a persecution complex and genuinely think someone’s out to get them.

      Most of the latter group would be wrong.

    “Suffer not the CEO to live” Exodus 22:18

    Something like that, according to LLM translation from the original text. Who am I to question the machine spirit.
