    I get the vague impression that this is meant to subtly influence western society into believing that the masses aren’t truly people

    Tinfoil hat theory would be that the evil leaders of real life (the ceos, the billionaires, etc) are planting the seeds so that if their plans fail and a revolution comes, they won’t be summarily executed

      What of they don’t have to intentionally plant seeds? They just cancel anything that makes their power fantasy uncomfortable? :3

      Could you imagine?

      “For the crimes of economy-scale larceny, murder, environmental collapse, bribery, tax evasion, and, uhh, sexual battery of a pack of golden retrievers, how do you plea?”

      “C’mon, I’m just a little guy!”

      “D’aww”

        sexual battery of a pack of golden retrievers,

        He isn’t even going to get the chance to plea for his life. That’s a summary execution right there, I should think. Gag him and insert the burning electric wire 1 in./min, starting at the toes.

        I’m not an expert, but I’m like five-nines certain a guillotine does not make a “D’aww” sound when activated.
