So if it's not guillotines and instead massed autonomous attack drones that would be an acceptable way to discuss violence?

Just want to make sure I understand you fully.

Please don't, in one comment, call me “naive and childish” then try this kind of switcheroo the next. The topic of “guillotines” relates to performative violence against fellow citizens over political/economic disagreement. National defense is a different topic. They're both important topics and if they’re going to be discussed they deserve to be discussed earnestly. Glorification of violence has never been within the guidelines or norms on HN.
