Fun fact, the people who put the Bastille commander's head on a pike took power, and immediately took power to dol the same or worse as their predecessors.
They then invented the guillotine as a swift way to industrialize killing their opponents.
The guillotine is often thought of as a tool of French revolution, but it's actually quite the opposite; It should instead be a symbol of tyranny and narcissism.
Edit: I guess it did remove torture from the equation though, which is nice.
