The photo was taken by the Irish photographer Colman Doyle. The original caption: “A woman IRA volunteer on active service in West Belfast with an AR18 assault rifle”.
The IRA regularly conducted “show of arms” displays, showing off their modern and numerous weapons.

Fuck the British monarchy and its titles.

That's a different guy, in case you didn't know (the name is spelled different as well).

Oh good, I was hoping, but it's basically impossible to tell over text.

Fun fact: The El-Salvador prison refuses to imprison any women criminals.

For now.

People tend to get more upset when women are victimized, but if their husbands are already gone, they are less capable of resistance.

They won't be accepting women prisoners, Ever. Their words

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Man I got to ask do you usually just accept the words of a fascist? Upright honesty is something you expect from them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes, when it comes to oppressing people & the fact that they HAVE done it

[–] RedditRefugee69 9 points 2 months ago

So when they tell you "We promise to only oppress this group of people," you trust them not to oppress more?

Then it will just be in some other country. There's no shortage of authoritarians willing to suck up to the current US regime.

And hey, why would the people that run a death camp lie?

Women are too valuable to be warehoused. The young and pretty ones can be trafficked as "Comfort Girls," and the rest are useful as house slaves, cooking, cleaning, tending to the DNA Storage Units/ Organ Donors/ Human Shields, etc.

Men are considered inately useless & expendible. So their deaths not only do not matter to society, but it's also justified

Nothing anyone says matters anymore. We're in a fascist dictatorship and the public doesn't care. If they decided to start burning women for witchcraft in town squares again (I'm betting next month at the latest) the general population will be like "Can they do that?" "Isn't that illegal?"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Someone should press charges!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Someone should sue!

Have you ever gotten the urge to print 1000 stickers? Should I start a go fund me?

el salvador translates to "the saviour". this would be a fire album cover.

Nor will you be taking my family, my friends or my neighbors.

Then do something about the people that did, because when they come for you the memes won’t be much help.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

The number of leftists posting these kids of cool kid memes is significantly higher than the ones that are actual preppers/gun nuts. But if you need a cutting protest folk song, we're your guys.
