The Treasonous History Thread

Welcome to this week’s History Thread! Remember, remember how today is the 414th anniversary of Guy Fawkes’ arrest for his involvement in the Gunpowder Plot to destroy Parliament and restore England to a Catholic theocracy. Try to remember that before you romanticize him and put on your stupid mask to protest The Man, because you’d be acting about as revolutionary as dressing up as Pinochet for Halloween.
