All culture wars involve a clash of symbols. Symbols say a lot with a little. All it takes is a piece of cloth or an extraordinary object to transmit a world of ideas. They convey identity, impact and mood.
One sinister symbol, appearing in the riots and disturbances, is the guillotine. In picking this device, the rioters have chosen a symbol that energizes their militants, frightens their opponents and represents their uncompromising ideologies.
These revolutionaries adopt it willingly, enthusiastically and unapologetically. They know exactly what it means and use it to strike terror in the souls of those it targets.
The Guillotine Appears
The guillotine targets the American order. It is found on Portlands chaotic streets, even in its residential neighborhoods at night, as a warning of what can be expected from revolutionary mob justice. It has appeared before the house of Jeff Bezos near Washington, D.C. The militants at the CHAZ/CHOP experiment in Seattle referred to it. After the Republic National Convention, protesters outside the White House displayed a guillotine with an effigy of President Trump to be beheaded.
The guillotine was the instrument of death and terror by which tens of thousands were executed during the French Revolution. Its inventor was a French physician, Dr. Joseph-Ignace Guillotin. He had hoped to develop a machine that would behead the French Revolutions enemies painlessly and mechanically. Unfortunately, his name became almost synonymous with the wholesale slaughter that characterized the revolution that so destroyed French society.

the brownshirts/sa were too
Uh huh.
Building them now?
both French
lol.
ok.
I can weld and cut.
Not really kidding.
Beheading is a popular Islamic act of terror in today’s world, so it would seem there’s an underlying connection that needs to be investigated here.
Care to elaborate on that? Are you claiming that guillotines are mentioned in the Bible?
.............................................
I suspect his reference is to beheading, but the popular practice of Islamic terrorists is more apropos.
Because you do not enjoy the support and protection of the organs of State Security.
With all due respect, when will that time you speak of actually come? Has it not passed?
All these armed to the teeth, pro-2A people....where are they? When will they actually pick up arms? Our rights have been basically taken from us already and all I see is online pontificating from keyboard warriors.
Cities are burning. Small businesses decimated. The average person cannot buy food and essentials at their local store without a face diaper. Travel restrictions imposed.
What more will it take? When do we pick up our arms and destroy this cultural marxist movement that has seized hold of us?
4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
REVELATION 20:4
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
This is MY symbol of terror.
Hold them at bay for now. After the election is decided, it's go time.
Upon a Trump win, however, I do expect him to deploy true military to quash the riots once and for all.
Well you’ve been quoted the verse and chapter.
This is exactly the method the Son of Perdition will use to enact his Satanic World Government.
All who refuse will be hunted down and beheaded - publicly.
That’s exactly right.
My guess is when the SHTF the ANTIFA dead will be uncountable.
You know who they are probably - 90% of them are basement dwellers at grandma’s.
“The guillotine is not going away, folks.”
The media will tell you “It’s not a guillotine, it’s a vegetable slicer”.
Oh indeed
Once you take power you must get rid of the rowdies.....they might turn on you
A peaceful vegetable slicer at that....
While the “OK” hand signal strikes fear in social justice warriors whenever and wherever they see it.
It debilitates them almost as much as seeing TRUMP 2020 marked in chalk on sidewalks.
Someone sure keeps it painted real nice, even today.
Nice touch adding a roof so that the customers aren’t left sweltering in the hot sun.
