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.

Also average World of Tanks player 👌

Can't wait for the release of Solar System of Drones, the World of Tanks killer.

Ngl I’ve seen NCD on Reddit and it’s on here as well but I never got what the gist of it was. Is this community sponsored by Raytheon? I see a lot of Israel and Ukraine cocksucking on here

[–] corq@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, however you might be taking it more seriously than intended. It's somewhat satirical; like many meme communities, it embraces the absurdity as self-parody.

[–] manapropos@lemmy.basedcount.com -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I hoped as such. I really had no context coming in. And I have faith people here are posting to bring awareness to war-mongering as opposed to glorifying IRL map-painting

(serious-posting)

Just so we're clear, being pro-Ukraine is not war mongering. And I'm being 100% serious and not satirical in saying that.

Russia turning from the second best army in the world to the second best army in Ukraine is hilarious and the most noncredible of journeys and so we're going to joke about it. The Russian military has become noncredible.

2nd best army in some bits of Russia not controlled by Chechens, Muslims or Wagner.

I've heard super posters get their own Phalanx CIWS

[–] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you saying that as a Russian cocksucker?

[–] manapropos@lemmy.basedcount.com -5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The world’s not black and white. Not wanting my country to get involved in wars across the globe isn’t sucking anyone’s cock

Not wanting my country to get involved in wars across the globe

You're right, wars in space are so much cooler

Based and Federation pilled

Please, stop doubling down. You can have a clean slate. Voila. Clean Slate Wizard. Try "Hello, how are you, I'm a tank/plane/ship/drone enjoyer, although I think war.. " Maybe fill in. Go from there.

If ukraine loses it will obviously affect us, did you know that Ruzzia’s often fantasized about taking back Alaska and directing its legions of keyboard warriors to spread the lie that their sale of it to us was supposed to be temporary? In that case, RIP indigenous villages and gays in Anchorage

[–] manapropos@lemmy.basedcount.com -4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Alaska is a US state. They try anything funny there and the wrath of a million suns will come down upon them. Ukraine is some backwater Eastern European shithole

[–] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

Even though Ukraine isn't the most wealthy of countries, the last thing I want to see is precidant for invading other countries like what they did to Moldova or Georgia. There has to be a line somewhere. Ukraine truly wants to stop Russia right now and the US benefits from removing a strategic competitor, acquireing new tactics and knowledge. Believe me, there's a lot worse that the US and European governments can spend money on (and absolutely do)

I have a moral argument too, but that's for some other time. I get that it's hard to sympathize with a country half a world away though.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Russians don't seem to think so, they think Ukraine has multiple deep water ports capable of launching military fleets, as well as a key land bridge to western Europe. It is also a massive source of wheat and other crops, although the Russians have done their best to fuck that up with mines, traps and unexploded ordnance. What about the above says backwater shithole to you? Personally, I would like to go back to the days of polite Russians and cheap wheat. I hope you can convince them that they're batshit crazy to invade their neighbors, because no one else has been able to do so in the last century or two.

“Polite russians and cheap wheat” Amen to that, I’m incredibly sick of those ruzzian nationalists on social media going on and on about how their country owns everything and everyone and about how my country America is the most depraved and evil place there is because 2 of our men who love each other can officially marry, live normal lives, and be themselves with a far lower risk of alienation from family and community here, and I’ve even had one so obsessed with me he subscribed to me on YouTube just so he can throw the usual predictable, childish tantrums over 2 colors in my profile picture there and spam the emoji “🇷🇺” and/or “something something ukronazisTM”, “Alaska was supposed to be a temporary lease!!” or “something something US imperialism something something DA GEYYYYYYYZ” in response to unrelated comments of mine that don’t even mention his precious war.

There are even some who celebrated the war crimes their regime’s fellow terrorists (tbc I mean Hamas, not the Palestinian people and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise) recently committed against civilians in Israel in the hopes that it killed those Russian Jews who “betrayed ze mazarland” by bolting for the country last year, knowing more than any other group that nothing good will or historically has come to their kind from life under another racist, expansionistic and extremely far-right dictator who outlaws pretty much everything.

Hey, we're diversified, we lick boots too. Just not Putin's. Or Kadyrov's. Or your mom's.
