There’s no emotional sensitivity, they’re just afraid of the guillotine.

I feel like rich people are more brazen than ever before. It's a long time before we see any guillotines for the rich in my country at least (the US). We regularly put people down who have pennies to their name though or just average Joes living their lives. Death by cop and death by violence in a broken penal system. Also completely unavoidable health issues that increasingly only the wealthy end can afford to rectify.

Yeah it is a different country for the wealthy here in the US. Pretty sure that is everywhere though.

Look I get the frustration but I feel like trying to guillotine an entire damn car is more trouble than the catharsis would be worth
