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.

"WHOAAAAA look at how WRONG this fella is!"

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Retreaux@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

WHOOOOOSH

[-] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

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

Fuck the British monarchy and its titles.

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

Source: They explicitly said that

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 1 week ago

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.

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world -1 points 1 week ago

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

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

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

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago

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

[-] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 1 week 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.

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?"

[-] MITM0@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

But I guess society will end that fascist if it ever did happen

[-] KMAMURI@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Someone should press charges!

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.

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

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

[-] FMT99@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

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.

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