 You don’t think any message would be effectively sent with 1000 heads in baskets?

Come on mate. Show me the incentive I’ll show you the outcomes. 

1000 heads in baskets is a fucking powerful incentive.

I agree with your second half. I’m not saying that is problem solved. I’m saying if people of the West want a new class of parasites that only comes after the fear of god is put into the current class.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking we have to just chop heads of the bad ones. Every head that rolls adds to the fear and self-selects for better politicians that don’t want to lose their own.

They’ve killed and ruined enough innocents that I’ll feel nothing when they rightly cop the other end of the stick.

This is about moving Overton windows in different directions and I have zero opposition to moving the window against the current crop to resignation or head in basket. 

Let’s see how they react. Not like we’re losing anything with career politicians on the block. 
 I completely agree with 1000 heads! 
I thought you were talking on an individual level. One head does nothing. Even a handful sends a weak message quickly forgotten and passed off as fringe extremeism.

The parasites act out of self interest. They should be fearful.

 1000 is a start.

I’d take that as a compromise from Covid apologists who think we needed lockdowns but maybe they went too far.

Then I’d take the next 20,000 and not ask any questions.

I might ask questions at 100,000 but no reason to before then.

They can all go.

The rest of us only gain. 
 Time for another flood.
"Now the earth was corrupt in God’s sight and was full of violence. God saw how corrupt the earth had become, for all the people on earth had corrupted their ways. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them." "
