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

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.

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.

Fuck the British monarchy and its titles.

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

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.

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?"

Someone should press charges!

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Someone should buy one more gun

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Someone should sue!

[–] MITM0@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

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

[–] RedditRefugee69@lemmynsfw.com 19 points 4 days ago (10 children)

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.

That's okay the USA isn't sending criminals, they're sending legal immigrants and people who post things online that are oppositional to Trump and or fascism.

Fixed it. Should be good now.

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 7 points 4 days 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.
