S2. Chapter 18: We Got the Guillotine, You Better Run!

Lloyd Dobler takes on The Guillotine… not the execution device, but the song by The Coup, and uses it as a lens to expose how capitalism disguises violence as order, bureaucracy, and “public safety.”

Chapter 18 of the Tao of Lloyd is inspired by Chapter 18 of the Tao Te Ching:
Tao Te Ching:

When the Great Tao is forgotten,
goodness and piety appear.
When the body’s intelligence declines,
cleverness and knowledge step forth.
When there is no peace in the family,
filial piety begins.
When the country falls into chaos,
patriotism is born.
