re: #152 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Pretty much. The whole idea of Guy Fawkes mask and regalia was to give him a sort of “superhero” appearance, plus the whole history behind the Gunpowder Plot. Yeah, Fawkes’ motives were not really the reason behind it all, but the symbolism of his act was part of the mythos.

So yeah, in short, they wanted to dress him up like Fawkes.

That’s the only way it fits. Since Fawkes was a devout Catholic, and not at all in favor of do-as-you-please.

But wouldn’t do-as-you-please tend more towards Ayn Rand’s Objectivism?
