Guy Fawkes Day is a British holiday celebrating Guy Fawkes, a man who is noteworthy only for failing to blow up the king of England. His relevance today stems primarily from 13_year_old_boy keen ability to co-opt V_for_vendetta images for their own bullshit chanology. As far as holidays go, america doesn't really give a shit about Guy Fawkes day.
But why?
In order for these internet armchair activists to feel any sense of self-worth, they must feel like they've done something so revolutionary that they will be hailed as e-saviors by not just the regulars (the media and their twitter e-pals,) but the world one day. Another factor of course, is to feel a sense of self-worth, and make themselves think that the government has given a fuck about them since '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 Topics,) and going out in public to commemorate the anniversary of a known religious extremist and terrorist bombing the Bastille.
