I've suggested guillotine as a solution to various problems in the past, and facetiously replied to many an argument with a link to the Wikipedia page for the guillotine.

But this article. This stopped me. Made me think. Hex is right. If you can use a guillotine, you've already won, and are just enacting violence.

This article is worth a read.

The Nuremberg Trials resulted in the execution of many evil men. Back when humans lived in tribes, they killed sociopaths. We promote and elect them to the highest positions of power.

If you jail them, they continue to rally supporters, eg Bolsonaro.
