I wonder if all the hipsters who saw V for Vendetta and wear the mask have any inkling who Guy Fawkes was and what he represented? Probably not. Also the mantra repeated over and over in the flick, “People shouldn’t fear the govt. Govt should fear the people.”, was used first by the anonymous author of the racist/militia tome, The Turner Diaries.

having not read the turner diaries I am unaware of that quote. However I am familar with this quote, which likely came out before the diaries...

"When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty." -Jefferson.
