I kind of have a rant lined up because I see people on Facebook and Tumblr posting "Remember remember the 5th of november... et cetera". It really gets at me because clearly some people don't understand what Guy Fawkes was. I know V for Vendetta popularised the mask but the whole reference was that V blows up the parliament building in London.
Why are people remembering a terrorist Catholic plot to assasinate a protestant king. I'm an atheist but it makes you look like retards. V wore a Guy Fawkes mask because he was fighting against the government like Guy Fawkes. V blows up the parliament. If you want to represent terrorism and killing people. Then great, creds to you but maybe you should sit the fuck down, stop being children and stop idolizing anarchy and violence. Like seriously get to grips with what you're endorsing. Also, Occupy movement, ditch the masks as well or tell Anonymous get lost, when you buy those masks you're fueling the "evil" capitalist machine that you're protesting, you're plastic mask was made by some underpaid worker who's mistreated and forced to work in dreadful conditions. Take a deeper look at what you're actually representing and endorsing and make sure you're not contradicting yourself. And it just annoys me that something which represents an attempted murder, a lot of people would've died and that bothers me, especially as someone who tries to practice ahimsa or non-harm, this extends to my veganism but that's another argument. Especially since Anonymous protest people who are religious, namely scientologists without realising the irony of their situations, they're wearing a mask of someone who attempted to kill people for his religion. And I really can't stand Anonymous, they're chaos and destruction and burning hatred of society and order masquerading as freedom fighters or a force of good, yeah I agree with them on some things but the way they treat normal people disgusts me. It's a leaderless movement full of idiots.
V for Vendetta is one of my favourite graphic novels and films but I don't view V as the hero. And it doesn't make you cool it makes you look like you're part of a flock of black sheep.
