A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

The Germans have specifically ruled out doing East Prussia again, for the same reason a recovering alcoholic won’t touch a drop of wine. Which leaves two options: Králiveč, the Czech exclave with a beer pipeline to the mainland*, or the more mundane option of partitioning it somehow between Poland and Lithuania.

* which should probably be named in honour of Immanuel Kant, a famous local reputed to have been a real pissant who was very rarely stable

Germans are still suffering from having to integrate another failed quasi-soviet state more than 30 years later, so you couldn't pay them enough for taking Königsberg back.

Though having instantly given citizenship to thousands of Russians on the grounds that their ancestors around the time of Catherine the Great were German, and ending up with a monolingually Russophone voting bloc that gets its news from Russian state TV, did them no favours either. Jus sanguinis: not even once.

Wait, we germans take königsberg back and throw the russians out and just make it a nice patch of land for bavarians. We gain a beautiful countryside in mainland germany and könich maggus can have königsberg to make average bavarian things

When has Germany ethnically cleansing Slavs ever gone wrong?

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 months ago

Interesting. I wonder how long you have to live in the former USSR to qualify.

As a german, I heartily agree. Poland and or Czechia, you are welcome to any or all parts of it. Just don't fight over it :)

However, it would be somewhat entertaining to see the AfD melting down over getting it back. On the one hand, you have some of the old territory back, but on the other hand, there's so many foreigners getting your nationality now…

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 10 points 2 months ago

Given that AfD are Putinists and a significant proportion of the foreigners are Russian military personnel, I suspect they wouldn’t have a huge problem with it.

Heidegger was a boozy beggar and he could think him under the table. Should've been named for him.
