friendly reminder that Guy Fawkes wanted to kill King James to restore a Catholic Monarchy, not because he was an anarchist, anti-capitalist or a working-class hero.
Yeah I think there are too many people who confuse the historical Guy Fawkes with the character of “V” from V for Vendetta, and imagine they had the same agenda, when in fact Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up Parliament because it was way too liberal for him.
DO not get me started on the V thing, either. People who believe in freedom do not kidnap and brainwash people.
It’s also nice how dudebro atheist m’lady talking americans took a british holiday event and turned it into oh just that completely fictional poem that 100% just came from V for Vendetta, ah m’aesthetic.
we could also maybe talk about how buying a bunch of masks and therefore giving a lot of money to warners brothers as its a trade marked design is not in any way anti-capitalist or anti-big corporations or any of the other things a lot of people using them claim to stand for
