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!"

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.

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 months ago

Someone should buy one more gun

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Someone should sue!

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

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

[–] InvertedParallax@lemm.ee -1 points 3 months ago

That's not the point.

The point is men tend to start revolutions when given hard times, so it's best to march them into a meat grinder before they get the chance.

That's one reason Russia is OK with their losses, those are mostly minorities from less loyal districts, not True Russians (ie Moscovites).

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

Fixed it. Should be good now.

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