    I don’t think I understand. When things are good, there are dead little girls in coal mines?

        Ah, I’m unfortunately not familiar with that one. I only know the Guillotines from the French revolution, where they indicated the worst of times.

          no, they were the end of the worst of times. the fact that guillotines were a massive improvement is an indicator of how fucking monstrous the centuries of white terror had been.

            Ah, so it’s a matter of contrast? The guillotines are a sign of good times, relative to the even worse times before?
