happy guy fawkes day rule

he was trying to kill the king because the king was protestant and he wanted a king who'd force everyone to be catholic it's celebrating that he was stopped hung drawn and quartered L + rip bozo

Glad you pointed this out. The efforts of Guy Fawkes and his team were to restrict the rights of many. Although the character of V For Vendetta is cool, it's very, very loosely based on the actual Guy Fawkes (who gives me the impression of a bigot, from what we know of the gunpowder plot).
Common religious squabble L for everyone.
ummm no

who sought regime change in England after decades of religious persecution.

In 1604 Fawkes became involved with a small group [...] who planned to assassinate the Protestant King James and replace him with his daughter, third in the line of succession, Princess Elizabeth.
I always knew God was a Protestant🥰🙏
- The real religion is the one that ignores the text of its own holy book when one particular king really wants to

AKA the "I only know about Guy Fawkes Day because of V for Vendetta" crowd.

AKA Americans
- Or anyone outside of Britain.
  
  No one from Chile really cares, either.
  
  Western, white countries are all the center of their own universes
Tbf I only know about him cos of the shitty rhyme

At least I'll never forget the date

"The last man to enter parliament with honest intentions".

TBF it's a celebration that a plot to use terrorism to institute a Catholic theocracy failed.

IDK why people idolize the guy, he was a wannabe Catholic theocrat.

That shit Bloody Mary did, he wanted to do that but make it stick this time.

You mean before or after he's appropriated by Alan Moore as an anarchist symbol?

It's called Guy Fawkes night, not James 1st night or Cecil of Salisbury night. We mark it by setting off explosions and burning things, just like Guido wanted to do. Guido gets the cool character design, and big screen reimaginings where he's a badass counterculture dude. Guido failed in his plot, but he won the PR war.

To be fair, the government ~~at the time was~~ is an asshole.

The older I get, the more I sympathise with old Guido

"Come on, kids! Let's go door to door asking for help celebrating a guy burning to death!"

To be fair, burning to death is probably marginally less excruciating than crucifixion and people who claim to LIKE that Jezza guy can't get enough of celebrating THAT happening to him every spring 🤷
- Yeah, but this is celebrating the execution of a terrorist. It would be like if the U.S. had Bin Laden Day. It's tasteless if you think about it.
Not sure if your conflating Halloween or talking about the way we ~~nicked~~ asked if we could have any 8nused wood for the bonfire
- The latter. Although kids just used to ask for money.

don't blame me i was celebrating man getting hit in the groin with a football

It's both
