Guy Fawkes, besides being romanticized by Alan Moore, was recuperated by Hollywood, and the GF-mask-market probably contributed its fair share to finance the struggle of the MPAA vs. the people to ensure that everyone is a pirate, everyone is a criminal, everyone is a terrorist.
In that sense, shifting from Guy Fawkes masks (TM) to Ed. Snowden masks would simply reaffirm the original intent of Alan Moore, and Anonymous, and re-appropriate the myth with our own memes, and not one imposed by marketing, and the very power machine that we are denouncing and opposing. Wearing a Guy Fawkes mask is like saying: I recognize myself as a bomber against a corrupted establishment, I support propaganda-by-the-fact, hence you are right to oppose violence to me; while wearing a Snowden mask is more akin to: you-in-a-power-position are telling me I'm a terrorist, a liar, a defector, a traitor, and you're treating me like a criminal. But I'm no criminal. I'm a citizen, a honest citizen. My only crime is telling the truth, and exposing your crimes. You're the criminal, you're the one who's using violence against the truthful force of my integrity. == hk -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Icedove - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJSJeUEAAoJEEgGw2P8GJg9TewP/RFQD55b1kh2Dk5Wtk+Anh7K X5yETXR/o8e39A3ICiF3gG/JeavnMuVtOSzIezl+JUyBS/+4Fyy7Ui7H5uwWAfaY aicZnScCc9hHHelmIN2Qy4CHR1UzeeZuwIqc6/UKCt65QeYjy4Z3AqJPZnxE2OrF 2TAbFx3u/Nwwow9++wa96ybghF6/wiPxNSv3P4HaAJSrH+oX5axSdO0r4qcpy39z KmH2GF9ng5dQWmYlzeOh7RZl5otKxbHyWIYfbd+A0XUPfLRWOwoADLw4aJ4kizzb oPQnJAvuQhtJiAdoYHtbYR2gl5PwhZmb3QURewhuizQawnVSEkIKxFSkUmDV5c5h 7Vg6SAj4ny5ggLpeWfjGrCdgVeRqmXFnwHFk1IJCnwt102ULp7csM1tWt79aLVJT nj/mEDFu/LHuv6CAEvQHlma9IkXwGpyQ9YyJkhJtjjhpp8z4lLKDf+1M5nLFrT7u iLJv5BRTWsub2q8bWevylWaQzve1mgm4aVwtmMPWDi3zCpNUWnKwUjQKZANdh8Pt mZwOU5v2sxEb3wFEwBOE+v3FxULt1y0GK1WKStEMeWOWxzfwqZ8M0p5RqHEiXMRf lHi+pCWj7Ef4nmZCtWE+Igw+MIVbgQuVytOuVMbKz3e5DKTKCGzoWkiOa58SZ5NM EvdpTsEHZLHDWGHdt4xF =j6Y6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liberationtech is a public list whose archives are searchable on Google.
