I think there’s a correlation between direct action and voting. There’s people who go outside and do something, anything. And then there’s people who sit inside and complain about every effort to make the world a better place.
To be fair, I support guillotines. But I don’t consider them a viable tactic of serious politics in our current social climate. Guillotines are great for after the revolution, and we’ve got a long way to go before then. We need to form mutual aid networks that can mobilise into militias to take over the government. And we need to buy time for the revolution by voting against fascism, because otherwise our freedom fighters will be put in concentration camps.

The people calling for guillotines arent voting or protesting or calling their reps or going to town hall or anything.
Id be highly surprised if they werent all just glowies with too much time on their pensions

Guillotines after the revolution are for revenge fantasy losers. Once you have won, you do not need to kill people.
Guillotines are for during the revolution when you cannot guarantee you can keep them from getting back power.
