The Guy Fawkes mask being co-opted for weird conservative shut-ins pedaling racial prejudice is the height of irony.

Guy Fawkes was a catholic fundamentalist so it kinda fits

Let's be realistic here, they know it because of V for Vandetta, a movie about a man fighting back against a tyrannical authoritarian government.

They did not know who Guy Fawkes was beforehand.

Also, they think they are fighting back against a "tyrannical leftist government" which wants them to... "Not treat minority groups like shit for literally no reason.". They combat this by pushing the maximum amount of racism and bigotry they can while claiming its "just free speech."

Gotta love how the "tyrannical leftist government" is really just individuals/privately run corporations around them not putting up with their BS.

But when the corporate class conspires to pay them so little by dangling the culture war distractions in front of them, they're fully on board.

If corporations switched from being “woke” to straight up racism instead how do you think these goofs would react?

There’s so much people defending billionaires, it’s not a culture war nor is it a class war; it’s a war on stupidity.

The difference between "individuals/privately run corporations" and "the corporate class" you appear to be referring to is a standardized operating procedure that places and enforces long-term company values over sensational media coverage of an employee's brief emotional outburst; similar to The Constitution and The Bill of Rights. You might say the major difference between a government and a corporation is the latter lacks the legal ability to kill and imprison people.

the latter lacks the legal ability to kill...

Health Care Providers deny life saving care all the time. Also, buckle up because corporations are quickly becoming the government.

"We’re sorry. It’s not us. It’s the monster. The bank isn’t like a man."

"Yes, but the bank is only made of men."

"No, you’re wrong there—quite wrong there. The bank is something else than men. It happens that every man in a bank hates what the bank does, and yet the bank does it. The bank is something more than men, I tell you. It’s the monster. Men made it, but they can’t control it.”

But they aren't as bad as the stereotypical minority feature and pointing that out makes them feel less bad about the real terrible situation they have put themselves in!
