That’s because it IS inspirational.
They didn't succeed, though. We had to wait, suffering her existence, until she perished by herself of old age and decrepitude...
we're still lucky she's gone
Since the world has taken an economic and ecological downturn since Reagan's election, and he based his economic and ecological policies on Thatcher's lies, we can squarely blame the poor luck of the IRA for our accelerated demise.
I wonder how the other timelines are doing, where the coin tosses went another way?
edit: I see, this is addressed in a popular tv show.
it's somewhat less inspirational since they didn't succeed
In For All Mankind, one of the arbitrary changes they made to the timeline, that has no impact on the story what-so-ever, is that the IRA successfully assassinated Margret Thatcher.
They are trying to portray the correct timeline, obviously.
IRA succeeded and Mark Chapman didn't. That's the right way around.
First time I heard it was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, always thought that was the source. That vampire was sired by Spike, so my head cannon is that Spike is the author of the quote back when he was living in the UK, and IRA copied it (or he was IRA... Could be just for fun)
Lmao. I remember in my country (Australia) about some protestors saying their 18th amendment rights were being violated. Wut. People are so fucking stupid
Their right to be prohibited alcohol?
I don’t remember the exact amendment, as I don’t really know most American amendments. Plus it was a few years ago. But it was referring to an American amendment. Crazy shit
That is laughable, but how is it related to the original post?
That people are stupid?
Yes we know that, but what does that have to do with the meme?
Maragert Thatcher in a Dacia coming at cha! Tadej Pogačar racing Cleopatra.
I gotta know where this is from.
"Waves crashing"
I don't think it's an IRA original quote, but apparently they made it famous.
