Why guillotine them, when we finally have the very real power to ostracize them, leave them without a livehood?

Much crueler, and something we can actually do and get away with.

We just refuse to work with them, and they are probably fucking dead.

Because the state, you know, cops&military, are in their side, and they will bomb you for not coming to work.
They’ve been stealing your dividends all this time.
A slaver only has one goal in mind. Don't give it to them.

There is no pacifism to slavery.
