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.

What about the Iraq invasion gave you the impression they were there to help to the people?

There are only villains in these proxy wars, no heroes, but the USA supposedly tried to fight against theocracies and extremist paramilitants. They always operated under the guise of rightous necessary intervention.

Sadly the results of their withdrawal from Afghanistan and release of 5000 taliban fighters, both Trump era decisions, shows the USA actually was holding back the tide of baddies in some cases.

You know, all the bombing and killing civilians. How else do you generously spread democracy?

It was trivial to buy a chicken on the local economy. You could get anything for 5 USD or less.

It's entirely possible he liberated it by buying it.

Like how my brother "rescued" a puppy by buying it from a pet store. (16 years ago, and yes I don't approve of puppy mills. Pup now lives with me and is a good grumpy old man dog)

Keep it civil. This whole comment chain is out of scope for NCD and the name calling isn't needed.

What if it's civil, but a war?

I hate sequels. The first was good enough. Why are writers so damn lazy?

Deadline based production. You know how it is, you've got to get the 2025 manuscript out the door but you're already behind and you're not even getting paid enough in the first place.
