“There is a group of catholic terrorists who have come to blow up the white house and kill the president.”
If you saw these words what would you thing or say? Well what if they caught the leader of this group and killed him by burning at the stake? What if that guy is actually called Guy Fawkes? What if this is actually a true story but in the time period of the 1600’s?
It actually is… there once was a guy named Guy Fawkes, his father was catholic, and he converted to Catholicism and fought in the eighty years war. He actually is the guy who tried to blow up the house of Parliament. He is the face of the man in the mask from the movie V for vendetta and he was the face on many of the Occupy Wall Street protesters masks. I really hope they know what he represents. Before the movie V for vendetta he represented all traitors to their country and now he represents someone who fights against fascism as V said in the movie “We shouldn’t burn the chap every 5 [of] November but celebrate his attempt to blow up Parliament!”
Now that symbol of the mask is taken for occupy protests and it represents rebellion against the government. Whether it is economic, political, or just regional rebellion, Guy Fawkes is the new face of rebellion just like how the hammer and sickle was for Russia back when they were still revolting.
