NonCredibleDiplomacy
Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles
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 bad diplomacy 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 elsewhere.
3. Content must be relevant
Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.
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. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.
6. No seriousposting
We don't want your 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.
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
NonCredibleDiplomacy 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.

Abe had some sort of fixation with having children. He didn't do anything illegal in this regard as far as I know, but it was a bit weird.
Source? Without more context that sounds like a very human sentiment. Most people in history have wanted to have children. It's why we're still here. It's a foundational premise in a lot of classic media, and it has even had a significant impact on many historical events and time periods.
Insinuating that he's a pedophile with a harem of children that he regularly breeds, and only backing up your claim with "he's fixated on having children," if fucking WILD; and since you tried tying it to his Japanese identity, more than a little racist.
I don't know Japanese domestic politics well enough to say when it started, but Abe asking people to have children is a bit of a meme.
How did you get that from 'He didn't do anything illegal in this regard as far as I know, but it was a bit weird.'
Oh, my bad. I thought you were the original commenter who said this:
Followed by the explanation that it was Abe who made it weird.
Which is a completely different thing from a Prime Minister encouraging the nation's citizens to have more children, especially as a response to an impending population crisis.
