White Abolitionist: the relentless dismantler, tearing down whiteness at its roots & reshaping institutions so it cannot claw its way back. No compromise, no half-hearted reforms. Just the complete & permanent undoing of the system.
One person anywhere, no matter how insignificant, who refuses to think as they have been ordered to think acts as a goad to the tiny people of authoritarian government.
The present and the future are always in YOUR hands.

Remember, remember! Even with Fascism Decision 2024 going on! #VforVendetta #GuyFawkesDay
Mistodon: It's AdeptApril's turn to urge us to #RememberRememberTheFifthOfNovember for #GuyFawkesDay, with an #ANSIart arrangement of his mask, as widely seen in the 2005 film adaptation of Adam Moore's #VForVendetta comic (where this specific design was the handiwork of illustrator David Lloyd) ... or every day, for members of #Anonymous.
Vamos de história, afinal hoje é 5 de novembro!
Lembrai, lembrai do cinco de novembro
A pólvora, a traição, o ardil
Por isso não vejo como esquecer
Uma traição de pólvora tão vil
"Remember, remember, the 5th of November,
Gunpowder, treason and plot."
In the past 20-30 years or so this poem has gotten connected to the masterpiece V FOR VENDETTA by Alan Moore and David Lloyd - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED READ
Remember, remember...
The idea is not to burn Guy Fawkes on a bonfire but to become him.
Pick a side.
Getting ready to read this tomorrow while watching the election results trickle in.
Remember, remember! The fifth of November.

When #VForVendetta came out in 2005, the storyline (deliberately) echoed the "9/11 was an inside job" conspiracy. And an extreme #Conservative Religious Right Party was behind it. A mirror of the times.
It has new significance today with the rise of a #Fascist #Cult that vilifies gays, etc. Elects a #Hitler-like #dictator, and a government that resembled "1984" (it's why John Hurt from "1984" wanted the role of President.)

Moore's massive tome is more ambitious and awe-striking than even his previous works, an expansive and gritty examination of humanity and faith, dimension and destiny.

So…re-watched #VforVendetta (2005) after almost 20 yrs & let's just say the Wachowski sisters-McTeigue adaptation of a Thatcher-era comic, swims in a sick miasma of #DejaVu, bolding how our current fascism was previewed by progressive/POC critics of Reagan, Thatcher, Bush(es). Set post-fascist takeover, w/a choleric Hitlerian dictator enriched by corruption & profit off a plague released to scapegoat "outsiders" & spread fear.

Evey sets off the tube train full of explosives to blow up the Houses of Parliment and Big Ben and overthrow the tyrannical British government.
