Building a 20ft Guillotine

Building a 20ft Guillotine

A man constructs an enormous wooden guillotine in his backyard, fitting it with a heavy blade, wheels, ropes, and a lemon-filled loading tray. The contraption eventually chops the lemons, while the increasingly dramatic narration turns a frivolous DIY project into an absurd manifesto about social collapse, enslavement, and fraudulent authorities. The joke is the extreme mismatch between the harmless lemon experiment and the grandiose conspiratorial justification for building a guillotine.

I can already see a major problem with this setup. It allows for a lot of wiggle room between these railings, and that could easily cause a derailment, which is the last thing that you want with a guillotine blade. So for safety reasons, I'm gonna have to go with the backup plan. Maybe this is all a terrible idea. Socially unacceptable nonsense. Just a frivolous little project irrelevant to the hearts and minds of anyone. But I don't believe that. Why am I building this? because it needs to be built. Better to have one and not need it than need one and not have one. Because there's an unspoken understanding that everyone is beginning to feel in their core. A growing awakening to the reality of our circumstance. Every day, the divide grows wider and we've all fallen into enslavement under fraudulent authorities. Those who claim to serve our best interests who continuously pulls the rug from beneath our feet the second we feel secure enough to stand up.
