If that's the purpose of the masks, fine, I guess. But they certainly won't win hearts and minds, I should think. I can't figure out why this movement wants to identify itself with a Catholic extremist who tried to blow up the British Parliament. I suppose it's the anti-government thing. Who the hell knows.

All I can say is: the masks are scary and off-putting; the message is unclear and intimidating.

"the masks are scary and off-putting; the message is unclear and intimidating."

Your lack of clarity and your intimidation is merely inferred. As many others perceive a much different message than you seem to.

...who supported political assassination to foment a religiously-based coup?

Delightful.

(nb I think it says something that I have no recollection of the "first" Million Mask March)

Anti-mask laws were passed to prevent the KKK from marching hooded.
