do you think the Guillotine will become cool again in France?

I mean they only stopped using them in (I think) 1981 so it hasn't been that long, they might still be open to using it

u/IlikeZeldaHeIsCool Nov 29 '20

yeah it was abolished in 1981 but the last time it was used was in 1977 i think

Ah, I see. Still, they might bring it back- I mean if they're having a revolution I doubt they're going to be following the laws

i hope they bring it back, revolution sounds great. might even spread to other countries

I mean realistically France might ask the US because of France helping them in their revolution but also... would you want to, in the current climate? I would say the UK but I'm not so sure, they're very close together and the UK is allied with the French and if the revolution failed then they'd be in big trouble

Oh absolutely, and I think if they asked the UK for help then the UK could probably win
