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.

Agreed. On the other hand, I've never seen a war where I wanted both parties to lose so badly.

Sometimes I think the world should just let them kill each other until they simply can't anymore.

Honestly not necessarily the worst idea. I don't know about Iran, but I have family in Israel. The general consensus (backed by recent polls) is that Bibi is just keeping war going so he can stay in power. The average Israeli is not as genocidal as their leaders. They just have to choose between mandatory military service where they will likely just patrol a border and not let aid through but probably not die or directly kill anybody, or commit a major crime by dodging military service and risk their lives. At 18 years old I don't know if I'd have the courage to take that risk. But Iran is different, they can actually cause risk to "important" (read: wealthy/powerful) civilians. Could sour the public on Bibi enough to oust him. Maybe.

I'm honestly worried mango Mussolini might try the same thing in 2028. Maybe he'll get food poisoning from eating a Danish, call it an assassination attempt and declare war on Denmark. "We can't have an election right now, we're in the middle of the GREATEST war we ever fought against the MEANEST nation in the world. We're gonna WIN. MGAA (make Greenland America again)!"
