    it’s somewhat less inspirational since they didn’t succeed

      In For All Mankind, one of the arbitrary changes they made to the timeline, that has no impact on the story what-so-ever, is that the IRA successfully assassinated Margret Thatcher.

        They are trying to portray the correct timeline, obviously.
        IRA succeeded and Mark Chapman didn’t. That’s the right way around.

      They didn’t succeed, though. We had to wait, suffering her existence, until she perished by herself of old age and decrepitude…

        Since the world has taken an economic and ecological downturn since Reagan’s election, and he based his economic and ecological policies on Thatcher’s lies, we can squarely blame the poor luck of the IRA for our accelerated demise.

        I wonder how the other timelines are doing, where the coin tosses went another way?

        edit: I see, this is addressed in a popular tv show.

        I don’t remember the exact amendment, as I don’t really know most American amendments. Plus it was a few years ago. But it was referring to an American amendment. Crazy shit

          That is laughable, but how is it related to the original post?

              Yes we know that, but what does that have to do with the meme?

    First time I heard it was on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, always thought that was the source. That vampire was sired by Spike, so my head cannon is that Spike is the author of the quote back when he was living in the UK, and IRA copied it (or he was IRA… Could be just for fun)

    I don’t think it’s an IRA original quote, but apparently they made it famous.
