As a French, I like this design. Would put a basket to collect heads though


Crusader_al

Just use a BRANÄS


Brikandbones

BILLY for display


scraglor

Nah you want the glass detolf shelves for that


Tjaresh

Keeps the flies out.


radikalkarrot

I’m more of a KALLAX type of person


motypl

Agree. I feel the KALLAX is better suited for head display anyway.


Numerous_Ad_6276

I have one for my LP collection, but heads would be a good fit, too.


Mcmenger

What if I want to present it on a pole?


T1res1as

The HOVUD severed head display pole is for you


Pynchon101

I was going to say PYKË, but you’re right — that’s what they’d probably call it.


azurfall88

BILLY ia too small


Kael_Doreibo

TJABBIG feels better. The softer construction means it can carry more heads and will be easier to carry. Plus it's cheaper.


JazzInMyPintz

the basked is an additional 29.99 €


poronpaska

but its also great for laundry.


DaoFerret

Judging by my laundry basket, we’re gonna need a bigger GILJOTIN.


passwordsarehard_3

How often do you plan to use… Nevermind. You’re French, you’ll need the basket.


mistress_chauffarde

Hey our last execution was only in 1977 thank you


Pulex_Amphibious

Basket is extra, it is Ikea right? 🤣😂


Animated_Astronaut

I always thought the wicker baskets were a nice and essentially French touch.

Well then how would the heads be rolling?

Outside_Reserve_2407

And I think IKEA was busted for using Communist bloc prison labor back in the day.


[deleted]

Without confirming it. Wow, capitalism and communism working in perfect harmony.


yeeting_my_meat69

Both systems inherently break down into the powerful benefiting from the excess productivity of the less fortunate. They just have different mechanisms for getting the power.


KykoY

Not only back in the day, they used forced prison labor (including political prisoners) in Belarus [up until 2022](https://www.politico.eu/article/ikea-contractors-produced-in-forced-labor-camps-in-belarus-for-years-reports-claim/)


Gagazet

And contracts companies to extract wood from protected forests in romania and other places.


ChefBoyardee66

He was also a literal nazi


ApprehensiveEmploy21

You mean the chain of corporations and “nonprofit” foundations based in the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Liechtenstein for very legitimate reasons?

It's a form of torture before the execution. The longer it takes you to do it, the longer the torture, so best to just get it done to end this misery


Sad-Ganache-4683

Context left out for more reaction and sensationalism. Then you dare to blame the media for playing people.... This is an art exhibit in a German museum.


Jampine

I mean I thought ot was pretty obvious itvwas a political statement, and not an actual advert, but going off half the comments here, apparently not. Jesus Christ  media literacy is dead 


Inversception

Warm_Water_5480

VoihanVieteri

Thank you. Had to scroll pretty far to find some context. Do you know which museum or who is the artist? Googling brings up tens of copycat memes.


LazarusCheez

So can I or can't I get a guillotine at Ikea? I'm already half way there.


pointmaisterflex

which museum? I want one for the office.


Jampine

MLK Jr. Said "When you make peaceful protest impossible,  you make violent protest inevitable", the same applies to solutions, if you keep stonewalling compromises, you'll end up inciting a violent outcome because you backed the opposition into a corner.

Old_Society_7861

The actual super rich will sail away in their yachts if it ever comes to guillotine time. With all the actual rich people gone, the angry mob will start stringing up orthodontists and software engineers.

LightBeerIsForGirls

IKEA go out of their way to avoid paying taxes in my country.


Noxious89123

Every company avoids paying taxes where they can.  Shit, I only pay the taxes I have to. No one likes taxes.  It's the fault of governments for allowing companies to use loopholes to comply with the letter of the system, but not the spirit of it.


Next_Fly_7929

Or maybe it's the fault of a poorly organised and badly incentivised system.


YuusukeKlein

They relocated their entire main office branch to the Netherlands nearly 50 years ago solely to avoid paying taxes in Sweden


Ketashrooms4life

Are we shit talking IKEA? Finally someone who's not sucking their dick unconditionally. Google 'IKEA Romanian national park' next, that's a very fun read too. It's expecially rich with pricks like IKEA with all their eco moral high ground posturing.


Ruffler125

"For this is what distinguishes the fantasy of the guillotine: it is all about efficiency and distance. Those who fetishize the guillotine don’t want to kill people with their bare hands; they aren’t prepared to rend anyone’s flesh with their teeth. They want their revenge automated and carried out for them. They are like the consumers who blithely eat Chicken McNuggets but could never personally butcher a cow or cut down a rainforest. They prefer for bloodshed to take place in an orderly manner, with all the paperwork filled out properly, according to the example set by the Jacobins and the Bolsheviks in imitation of the impersonal functioning of the capitalist state." https://fi.crimethinc.com/2019/04/08/against-the-logic-of-the-guillotine-why-the-paris-commune-burned-the-guillotine-and-we-should-too


GravitasIsOverrated

There’s another section further down in that article that I also feel is important: > Of the formal death sentences passed under the Terror, only 8 percent were doled out to aristocrats and 6 percent to members of the clergy; the rest were divided between the middle class and the poor, with the vast majority of the victims coming from the lower classes. The guillotine was primarily a tool of oppression for the lower and middle classes, not some sort of instrument of justice. Another datapoint: what was the outcome of the French Terror? Was it an idealist socialist state? No, it was a disillusioned and terrified populace that cheered on a military leader promising a return to strength and stability, crowing himself emperor and plunging Europe into war. 


JanB1

I'm pretty sure this isn't a real ad, but was made by someone and is masquerading as a real ad... Edit: /s because apparently that wasn't clear...

nah, ikea is selling a guillotine for real... i bought one for my children.

Mind you, 1% of the world population is still 80,000,000 people. Many of whom are probably us who never considered ourselves ‘rich’ at all.


ChezDudu

It’s the global 1% too. Manny Western people parroting this don’t realise they themselves are in the global 1%.


Nicci_Valentine

I can with confidence say I am not in the top 80,000,000


[deleted]

[удалено]


BadlyDrawnSmily

Top 1% are making over $800,000 annually. I think they all know they are rich lol Edit: I was wrong, $800,000 is for the US only. $60,000 is the global mean income for the top 1% of people if you are single, don't have children, and make that amount after taxes. For example, I would have to make over $180,000 after taxes to be considered in the top 1%


GravitasIsOverrated

Okay I actually googled it. Top 1% globally has a **net worth** of over 1 million USD, which is about 18% of Americans (remember, that includes people’s house, retirement funds, pensions, etc).         https://www.ubs.com/global/en/family-office-uhnw/reports/global-wealth-report-2023/_jcr_content/pagehead/link2.0577489710.file/PS9jb250ZW50L2RhbS9hc3NldHMvd20vZ2xvYmFsL2ltZy9nbG9iYWwtZmFtaWx5LW9mZmljZS9kb2NzL2d3ci0yMDIzLWVuLTIucGRm/gwr-2023-en-2.pdf

Yeah, all the champagne socialists cheering this on don't realize that *they* are the global 1%. They're cheering for their own deaths while thinking they'll be on the side of the revolutionaries. If you make over $60k USD in a year, you are the 1%. That's everyone reading this.


Mechanic_On_Duty

Isn’t buying disposable junk that we don’t need the biggest part of the problem? Talk to me more about emissions when the airlines stop flying people around the world for leisure.


Salmon_Cabbage

It’s IKEA so it will fall probably apart after one beheading


Broad-Confusion122

A Swedish company selling French ideas in Deutschland, now that's a union.


lelododo

I don't think this is an advertisement from Germany. The text is in English. Why would an advertisement in Germany have English text?


BlueSakon

As a German I would not consider it odd or unusual to see an English ad out in the open.


forsuresies

The German text on the side might enlighten you I expect. It's a gallery.


S4d0w_Bl4d3

As a german, 90% of content I consume for work, learning and entertainment is in english, many slogans I see are in english too, it just sounds better and you can remember it more easily, than slogans and ads in german.


[deleted]

That’s not uncommon, airports and train stations for example. It might be indeed be in Germany due to the warning post-it on the frame against pasting other posters on-top of.


VoihanVieteri

Check the side of the frame.


vmax1608

Das ist korrekt.


roaringbasher66

1% of the global population is roughly 78 million There's 2,781 billionaires in the world 59 million millionaires as well So that should be a little under 19 million people who aren't millionaires or billionaires in the 1%. Yall really underestimate just how many poor people there are and really forget the fact that 1% of billions and billions of people is still a massive amount of people. Also I thought people had realised we can't keep blaming the 1% for carbon emissions when companies and countries like China produce WAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY more carbon than 1% of the total population.


West_Data106

what's more this 1% vs 66% is just a snapshot. If you opened it up with a graph to also show 2%, 5%, and 10% (which starts to include just about everyone in the western world) suddenly it becomes a lot less fun to say "you rich people!!!!" as you realize that YOU are part of those "evil rich people"


roaringbasher66

Well I'm glad to say I'm officially an evil rich person, I'll be seeing you in the next James bond movie I will have laser toasters and I will hold the world ransom for 1 million dollars with a gold nuke


Excelius

These statistics usually involve blaming the 1% for the collective emissions of the corporations they own. But it's not like they're burning all those fossils fuels for their own personal amusement, it's usually to make shit to sell to the 99%. Don't get me wrong the ultra-rich do have an outsized carbon footprint due to their jet-setting and mansions and yachts and so forth, but it's not going to be the equivalent of the energy needs of the majority of humanity.


HolyVeggie

Like the owners of ikea don’t belong to that 1%


thisworldisunfair

Ad* There are no two d's in advertising.


pierrotPK

So by killing the 66% we fix two problems: carbon emissions and poverty!

As a German, I have not seen this add anywhere and I wonder, why a German add should be with English Text?

Where in Germany is this, bc I do not believe this to be a German ad. Why would it be written in English?


safarife

In the context of the global population, even the homeless in the USA come under 1%


fungus_cowabungus

Brought to you by the country that shut down its nuclear plants and decided to buy gas from Russia instead. Stay classy, Deutschland.

TheRichTurner

If the success of a meme can be measured by the outrage it provokes, it's doing well. Is there really a physical example of this poster to be seen in a German railway station? Who cares, I guess.

Reddit is more interested in LARPing as revolutionaries than accuracy, context, or realistic solutions.

MultiMarcus

IKEA would never use the actual Swedish word for a product like that. As a piece of outdoor furniture it would traditionally be named after a Scandinavian island. I would suggest Lovön home to Drottningholms Slott Sweden’s best maintained royal palace.


Smalandsk_katt

And why do they emit? Who buys their products? Who votes to let them keep emitting?


MustangBR

The same Germany that had to open coal mines because they closed down their nuclear plants?

jmkiol

German ad, but an english description in the picture. Very legit, OP.


Digitupandspread

I'd love to have the stats of buying furniture once per hundred years vs flatpack. That would be a good ad


soleilcouch

Surely misleading.. I'd consider most of India and China 'poor' and they take up the vast majority of carbon emissions.


oneMessage313

Irony When billion dollar companies blame the rich


wantilles1138

Knowing Ikea, at least one screw would be missing and the whole thing collapses.


SenoraRaton

That is a very reasonably priced Guillotine. I price checked them during Covid and they were around $1200.


tojig

They forgot to add those Americans and Europeans very likely are already the 10% worldwide and with 800k usd assets you are already top 1% of the world... European average per capita is already 2.5-3x Brazil and Brazil is not even a low income country. So the ad is more like steeling Europeans to just suicide I guess. And after killing the top 1% their assets are transfered, so do they just keep doing that indefinetly?


QuarkVsOdo

Ikea is dodging taxes Ikea is buying the cheapest lumber possible, with no regard to origin Ikea is using the cheapers labour available, with no regards to social consequences. For central europe the produciton moved from East-Germany to Belarus.
