My personal "favourite" comment

Just wanted to add, its ok to mourn the loss of a strong woman, even if the firm she represented and the work she did was wrong in so many ways. Rarely is any single person all good or all bad. She was a bad ass during WWII, doing work “girls” didn’t do up till then. She led a very disciplined life and worked tirelessly at her role. Unfortunately, the work she did, and so much of what she represented was painfully awful. Just goes to remind us that being a strong female is not enough if the way you live causes harm. My wish is that in her next go round at life she learns to take her strength and apply it for the good of other people.

Sitting at +133 upvotes lmao such revolutionaries on there.

      I mean it was before apartheid (still segregation back then) and was just British imperialism, it's not like the Brits were trying to liberate South Africa by killing the boers, and the whole reason the British even put black Africans in camps was because they thought that they would help the boers instead of them. (No idea why the British thought that, the biggest reason for the boers doing the great trek in the first place was the outlawing of slavery... Obviously the boers treated black Africans extremely poorly given that context)
