    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.

      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?”

      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.

          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).

          Yeah, memes such as this are propaganda, they build morale and inspire people towards a side

          They have their place, if it weren’t for stuff like that, you’d feel more alone with your thoughts

          (And for the record, propaganda is a dirty word these days, but the literal definition of it is something that should be done, so long as it isn’t rooted in lies. After all, the allies in WW2 did plenty of propaganda as well, and chances are you wouldn’t call that a bad thing now)

            Well, there isn’t much either side did in WWII that I call good. But humans will be humans. In this case, regular people (in theory) sharing memes isn’t really propaganda if they believe in the cause. Even if they aren’t willing to act.
