    If you see a guillotine and immediately assume it’s for you, maybe you should reconsider some life choices. Because the vast majority of people would see a guillotine and go “oh that’s fucking cool” instead of assuming it was there specifically for them.

      They might also go “that’s concerning”. Most people aren’t great fans of violence, so the implication of a violent device might worry them.

      But they still wouldn’t go “they’re coming for me”, unless they have a persecution complex and genuinely think someone’s out to get them.

      Most of the latter group would be wrong.
