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.

American here. I'm legit sad that we aren't represented among our brothers, we lost the right due to our behavior

It feels like we called Grandma a bitch at Thanksgiving dinner and the cousins just threw us out

Edit for clarity: I'm not suggesting the US is part of the EU, instead highlighting that we are distantly APART from Europe now (because of our current behavior) and that sucks.

Final edit: this was either poorly worded or poorly received. This was an American speaking to a generally western, freedom loving shitposting group of planefuckers, where I was lamenting the state of American relations with Europe, and that a group of former allies feels the legitimate need to band together in a time of American fuckery.

I'm sorry some took this as butting in or assuming to be a member of the EU or something. It wasn't. It was an acknowledgement of a low in relations, and this American's sadness in that.

Canards are sexy.

America is neither geographically part of Europe nor a member state of the EU, and given the current administration, it's best that more countries isolate themselves from the US.

Which is why I said I was sad, I'm acknowledging the moment that we deserve isolation when we should be brothers with the eu/Europe

Edited original for clarity

Edit you think I thought North America was part of Europe, or that the US was a member nation of the EU? Why would that possibly be my point?

I expect Trump to pull out of NATO by end of his term

Hopefully the next American president can set things right again but it will be more difficult from now on :\

You've got positions in power talking about annexing Denmark's land...

Russia fought for the Allies and EU in WW2 too. Funny how it all turns out.

I'm not denying any of that but this community and others had much more friendly us eu relations just a year ago (edit compared to closer relationships with Russia...ever?) I'm just sad about that, not calling it uncalled for or something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Aye. The US flag should be up there, but sadly times they are a-changin'. Russia's unlocked some achievements with that.
