Someone brought a guillotine to a city council meeting in Salem, Oregon on July 27, 2026. Not a sign shaped like one. Not a drawing. According to community accounts and social media posts, an actual guillotine structure appeared at the protest outside Loucks Auditorium, where hundreds of residents had gathered to oppose a proposed multi-billion-dollar AI data center. Company representatives reportedly assessed the scene and left, citing safety concerns — though that detail hasn’t appeared in formal news coverage or official minutes.
This is really shitty reporting.
It doesn’t mention anywhere that the guillotine was not functional. They make it sound like it could have been used. It was a prop.
Better that the shitheads think it’s operational. Let them lose sleep over what’s coming.
Maybe. I personally prefer accurate reporting. We don’t need more misinformation
I just looked at the social media post. It’s a tiny scale guillotine. It’d struggle to slice anything larger than a carrot. The blade probably isn’t even real, nor made to come down.
Sounds more like a shitty resistance. You can’t behead the overlords with a prop.
I think it’s funnier that they felt unsafe around a prop. Let the symbolism sink in.
But you could grab the overlords and put them in the prop and try?
It might even hurt more that way!
Death by a thousand bludgeons?
Not in favor of murder, but suffering is a whole different thing!
