   @Hex @Radical_EgoCom That article is quite possibly the best thing I’ve ever read. It speaks directly to my soul.

     @Radical_EgoCom every time a CEO says something completely evil, everyone cries out for the #guilotine. But guillotines are only useful once you've already won. They're a tool of revenge.

     But what revenge is a quick death? I want these people to see the world they prevented. I want them to be utterly powerless in our utopia, like we have been completely powerless in theirs. I want the malignant narcissism that drives them to have to face the fact that they were never the brilliant people they thought they were. I want them to live in a world built for everyone by everyone, instead of a world built by them for them, and understand every day that it's fundamentally better.

     Everyone calls for guillotines, but there's no number of guillotines you can build that will get us closer to a better world. If you hate these people, build thing libraries, plant food forests, create shared pantries and free thing dispensaries. Channel that anger into building a world where guillotines are unnecessary.

     Guillotines don't make them afraid. Us building a world without them is what they really fear.
