'''Guy Fawkes Day''' | [[File:GayFawkesProtesters BasementDwellers.jpg|245px|right]] | ||
'''Guy Fawkes Day''' aka '''Gay Fawkes Day''' is a [[Dental_Plan|British]] holiday celebrating Guy Fawkes, a man who is noteworthy only for [[fail|failing]] to blow up the king of England. His relevance today stems primarily from [[13_year_old_boy|Anonymous']] keen ability to co-opt [[V_for_vendetta|pop cultural]] images for their own [[bullshit|meaningful]] [[chanology|causes]]. As far as holidays go, [[America|the rest of the world]] doesn't really give a shit about Guy Fawkes day. | |||
On that day each year, the oh-so-edgy "members" of moralfag hacktivist "collective" Anonymous don their fedoras and [[9fag]] masks and leave their houses for the [[basement dweller|first time in months]] in order to protest the Government, among other things. Despite the '''[[fact]]''' that protests haven't done shit since the 1960s, (and even for the '60s it's arguable,) every November 5th, they try to organize outside protest gatherings/parties in order to get the world/[[old Media|the media]]'s attention, and miserably fail each time. | |||

Another factor of course, is to feel [[USI|a sense of self-worth]], and make themselves think that the government has given a fuck about them since [[2007|'07]]. As such, they feel the need to try to fulfill these motivations by dressing up in cheap $5 Guy Fawkes masks, (purchased from their local [[Hot Topic]]s,) and going out in public to commemorate the anniversary of a known [[religious]] extremist and [[ISIS|terrorist]] who tried bombing buildings as well as attempting to assassinate folks. | ||
