I don't get it. Why not just get shot to the back of the head, quick and simple? It's always been the most humanitarian and simple solution for fascists, and I feel like it's probably not a bad way to go for myself.

My honest reaction to that information:

But for real there's a surprising amount of room for error with guns. Guillotine is incredibly reliable as far as executions go

There is a lot of room for error, but I'd still rather take the 5% chance of a botched death by a shot to the back of the head than the much more stress inducing process of being put into a guillotine.

5% is quite high. And maybe I'm just an oddball but I think I'd take some solace from being guillotine'd since it's got such interesting cultural context

yeah honestly firing squad seems fine. Or maybe we stop executing people outside of exigent/extreme circumstances, idk
