Give a man a truth and he will think for a day
Give a man a reason and he will think for a lifetime
An Anonymous mask is a type of mask typically worn by members of the Internet group "Anonymous" during public protests and demonstrations. It is basically a Guy Fawkes mask, and has been adopted by the group based primarily on its use in the comic book and film V for Vendetta. Though this mask was initially associated with the actions of Guy Fawkes, its adoption by members of Anonymous has come to associate it more recently with their activities.
The meaning behind an Anonymous mask is somewhat complex, but it should be understood in terms that are separate from the history of the mask itself. Basically, an Anonymous mask is the same in appearance to a Guy Fawkes mask. Guy Fawkes was a Catholic in the late 16th century who was one of several conspirators involved in an attempt to destroy the House of Lords and assassinate the king of England. This conspiracy failed, and Guy Fawkes was executed for his part in the attempt; his image has been burned in effigy in England ever since, in commemoration of his failing.
The corrupt fear us
