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.

We almost made it to 2%. Why is it so hard for the liberal government to tax the rich more to get there and properly support our soldiers and Ukraine.

I just spent two and a half weeks in Alberta and I don’t know how many times people just randomly brought up Canada wasting money in Ukraine, and when asked about it they had nothing to say past ‘we should spend money on people that need it!’.

Fuck I hate that province.

I live in AB and the only person I've heard w/ that take was a Russian expat

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It was a sentiment brought up randomly by about 5 of my younger brothers friends, who all grew up in the Sylvan Lake area.

Your younger brother has some dumb friends.

You should intervene and make sure he's not listening to Ben Shapiro.

I take it you’ve never been to rural Alberta?

I guess the Ukraine population is going to be turned against conservatism even if they may agree to it. Family is more important to them than the culture war nonsense.

Because our country is like 3 monopolies in a trench coat..

And none of them are military industrial complex. Shame.

Do you really want a Motomaster tank?

Money laundering/tax scheme in disguise..

Our MIC died with avro

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

We have plans to triple our budget in the next 5 or so years to... 1.7% we have really dropped the ball. Our forces are a joke. I'm still not sure the f-35s we bought can even operate in our artic, where we need them the most.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 2 points 7 months ago

To be fair, given what happens when Canadians get violent it's probably better for the rest of the world if we don't spend more on our military. They're dangerous enough already.

And I say this as someone who's married to one of them.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Since you added "liberal", do you think the Conservatives are going to increase taxes to the rich?

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Bruh, you know NDP voters exist, right?

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I do, I’m in NDP and Green country.

But in my experience they are much less likely to take any opportunity to jab with “liberal” or “Trudeau” every time it fits in a sentence. Unlike Poilievre who uses it like the high schooler they all act like.
