 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.
