NonCredibleDefense
A community for your defence shitposting needs
Rules
1. Be nice
Do 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.

Not to justify any bigotry, but the key point here is whether or not it's systemic, which the UN reported on one of the links I presented. The UN report stated there are prejudices on individual basis, which they do not nor anyone should condone, but there is no Ukrainian state-sponsored discrimination on Russian-speakers.
You're just really trying to shoe-horn obvious Kremlin propaganda.
We're not in 1950s American and pretty sure there isn't one. And since you insist there is one at present and brought it up, you should present it. The burden of proof is on you.
I'm making the point the racism exists without it being explicitly written out. Theres even minorities who uphold laws that cause racist outcomes.
Does that mean a black police officer can't be racist?
And how many black Americans are calling to secede? How many black Americans do not call themselves Americans and want to join another country? Are there many of them?
And for the argument sake that there are black Americans who took up arms to secede, by your logic do you believe Russia should intervene in the United States? Should France and UK have intervened on the side of the Confederacy? Should the Republic of Ireland have invaded Northern Ireland despite the Irish Catholics being discriminated? Should the entire Cyprus be invaded by the Turks after already invading the northern part?
Let me educate you on international law and geopolitics because it is illegal to invade another country unless there is sufficient evidence of wanton violation of basic human rights. That's why the United Nation General Assembly voted that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is illegal and hardly any-- even China-- is fully on-board with the Russian invasion. There is no evidence of limiting the rights of Russian-speakers and there are many of them fighting for Ukraine. Russia is obviously fomenting dissent in Ukraine. Consider that there are Russian-minorities in the NATO-memeber Baltic states; how come only in Georgia and Ukraine-- both are non-NATO members-- somehow have supposed Russian seccesionists? That should give you a hint; or otherwise you're being a useful idiot.
