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.

Yah a fully expendable population makes for unlimited cannon fodder :(

Edit: Not saying Russians are expendable. Just saying that their previous dictatorships (and arguably the current!) considers them as such. I have nothing against Russians but I do against their governments.

It's mad to think this country has only had a democracy for a year or so in the 90s. Which began with the fall of the USSR and ended with Yeltsin's coup.

Russians aren't more expendable than any other human being. They're just being treated as such by their fascist regime. I know it's easy to start thinking badly of all of them because of the idiotic war, but they're human beings too. The ones outside of the kremlin at least.

Sorry, I didn't mean Russians are expendable of course! (Hence the sad smiley). In fact I was lamenting the way the Soviet and Tsarist governments treated their population. Sorry if this wasn't clear.

And I'm sure 90% of Russian soldiers are not happy to fight this war either. I'm sure they'd prefer being home with wife & kids rather than dodging bullets.
