Not an American, but I just noticed that the election day is on the 5th of November. Given the similarities between Trump and the chancellor, it seems like a good opportunity to remind people what is coming if they vote for Trump.
For those who haven’t watched V for Vendetta, do it, the reference will make sense.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason
Why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Most people in America have no idea who Guy Fawkes was.
Most people don’t period. He was a Catholic that wanted a theocracy. Just because V for Vendetta promoted the guy doesn’t mean he should have been promoted.
He was also the idiot who got caught… The whole gunpowder conspiracy went up in smoke (bad joke very much intended) when he gave up all his co-conspirators… He was not alone in being a dumb-ass, others did make mistakes, like writing their friends to not go to parlanent that day.
Its no suprise England mocks him every year on his “holiday”.
“Look, 4chan is here!”
V for Vendetta was very popular when it came out and I think most of us would recognize the mask.
When I see it, the first thing I think of is Anonymous, not Guy Fawkes or V for Vendetta.
It didn’t make the Top Ten grossing movies the year it came out [2006]
If 25% of the population knows it that means 75% doesn’t.
