 @095e5c5b I get that Mao had a good take on landlords, but I don't think it's good to spread any memes that portray him in any kind of positive light. 
 @429bb265 Everyone loves a good guillotine joke. 

I think if leftist didn't sometimes crack guillotine jokes, we'd all go mad.

I think we should make the term "guillotine joke" trend as a catch-all phrase for joking about murdering bad people. 

Like when we say "eat the rich" we're not talking about a toe or a pinky finger. We're talking about a full blown bar-b-q with slaw and mashed potatoes and Elon Musk's  skull with a lit candle on top of it on the red checked picnic tabecloth.

"Eat the rich" and Mao landlord memes are guillotine jokes, basically 
 @095e5c5b I have nothing against guillotine jokes and memes, but it would be much better to make those jokes and memes without using the image of a mass murdering dictator, unless the joke/meme is about guillotining Mao. 
 @429bb265 @095e5c5b Mao was right about exactly one thing: line the landlords up against the wall. And yes, that means your friend's dad, or your uncle, or whoever.

But yeah, the rest of his shit? Fuck that noise. Take the nugget of diamond, discard the mountain of dirt.
