And Sergeant Colon once again knew a secret about bravery. It was arguably a kind of enhanced cowardice — the knowledge that while death may await you if you advance it will be a picnic compared to the certain living hell that awaits should you retreat.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 21, Jingo (1988)

not sure taking advice of a #woman with #guilotine as earrings is super smart but it's at least interesting to listen to and you the #citizen is informed = #informedcitizen can make #InformedDecision

#GuilotineWoman giving advice 3.5% of population in general strike would bring down the government?

let's consult #Wikipedia:

"In 1886, the North #American #labormovement called for a #generalstrike on May 1 to enforce the eight-hour day. The strike was bloodily suppressed.... General strikes are extremely effective because of their comprehensive interruption of everyday life" https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalstreik https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2025/01/hitler-germany-constitution-authoritarianism/681233/
