Just a reminder that in France, it was people like him that were deciding who went to the guillotine. The French Revolution was a win for the bourgiousie against the aristocracy. People constantly refer to it when talking about rich people. But it was a capitalist coup.
Think “modern US Republican Party” and you’ll understand the dynamics of the French Revolution. Wealthy businessmen whipping up the common man to be their front-line. Was capitalism better than aristocracy? Sure. But the situation is different now.
IMO, we really need to find a better point of reference than guillotines

Well the trash can it would fall into would be fine

Also it was called the Reign of Terror for a reason, but 17 year-old edgelords never actually finished the chapter on the French Revolution.
Violent coups always are. They create a power vacuum, and it is NEVER filled with people who want to do nothing but give you free things.
I don’t support capitalism, but thinking guillotines for the rich (even figuratively) are the answer is short-sighted.
