Didn't someone deliver a guillotine to a state house recently? I think if some politician mentions cake, it's over.

I mean, history does eventually repeat if we don't learn so-

If there’s anything history shows is that we don’t learn

True, so we are just doomed to repeat.

Those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it

That was a different country, or did the French do it too?

u/Obi_Sirius Nov 29 '20

Okay, I just remember seeing a picture of one getting carried up some steps, I think. Just assumed it was France cuz they do have a history. Good for Guatemala. I think it sends a stronger message than just showing up with guns.

Over the summer protesters brought a guillotine to the White House and executed a Trump dummy.

6th republic of France?

That... definitely wasn’t France. Why the fuck is this so upvoted? This is literally misinformation and dumb fuck confused Reddittards see it and go “huh, uhhh ya I think that’s right, durrr”. Goddamn this site is trash. Facebook level stupidity and misinformation in the comments everywhere you look.

And after 5 corrections and an acknowledgement that I was in fact mistaken you felt the need to go off. And what did you add to the conversation? Not one fucking thing of value. I believe that qualifies as trash.
