here's another great historical photo of a revolutionary. the sources have more details about Marina's life, for those interested in Spanish Civil War history.
Marina Ginesta - photo by Hans Gutmann
source: rarehistoricalphotos.com
source2: Marina Ginestà, 94, the defiant militia girl with the gun

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.

- Pardon me, I believe you mean SIR Arthur Colman Doyle.
  
  The fact that no one thinks this is funny AND you've been downvoted means that folks be taking themselves WAY too seriously JEEZ. Have some more upvotes! 👍👍👍👍👍👍
  
  That's a different guy, in case you didn't know (the name is spelled different as well).
  
  Fuck the British monarchy and its titles.

Fun fact: The El-Salvador prison refuses to imprison any women criminals.
Source: They explicitly said that
- 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.
  
  They won't be accepting women prisoners, Ever. Their words
- Source: They explicitly said that
  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!
  
  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

Have you ever gotten the urge to print 1000 stickers? Should I start a go fund me?
- Badass!
  
  The resistance, ladies and gentlemen
  
  My man!

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

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

For those interested in this photo's suprisingly interesting history
- Try the archive or the source .
- Link busted?
  
  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.
- 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.

💪✊
