Guy Fawkes specifically

This Guy Fawkes.

What? You mean the terrorist who was arrested for trying to blow up a house of parliament? What's problematic about that?

Do you know why he wanted to do it?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He was a papist (i.e. a Catholic theocrat) who was fighting against the Protestant theocracy in England. He wanted to replace a Protestant theocracy with a Catholic theocracy.

That's about all I know. I'm not an expert or anything.

you’re confusing the actual Guy Fawkes with the symbol of Guy Fawkes….
it means something quite different now

[–] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone -1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

quite different

More like quite cringe tbh

[–] xor@infosec.pub 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

yeah ok, “steve from myspace”….
i’ll take your advice on what’s “cringe” or not….
honestly every time people use the word cringe in that way, i actually have the physical reaction of cringing….
cringe

You’re entitled to feel however you want 🤷‍♂️

Just take note that you are commenting on a post that has the word “cringe” in the title…
