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.

This is just like that jesus movie Mel Gibson made - I don't know why it starts or how it ends. Got any spoilers?

I think he paints half his face and talks in a scottish accient about slaves. Pretty sure Jesus was a Scottish slave.

Stupid Liberal.

Jesus was a successful real-estate developer, just like his only begotten-son, blessed be his name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Okay so Jesus was definitely a successful real estate developer but I personally don’t believe that was his intention. Judging intentionality is impossible of course, but that’s why I said “I believe”.

Counterpoint is probably to look at real estate prices on Mlk Jr Blvd’s? Idk.

Now the brits have to give free the name Messerschmidt and Augsburg can produce beautiful Messerschmidts again!

I mean the Tornado was built (among others) by Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (now Airbus) if that helps

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Wait Airbus is the former Messerschmidt? My research concluded that they merged with another company in the 1998 and them went bankrupt in the 2000s, and the now owner of the copyright to the name "Messerschmidt" is some british company

November 1968 -> Merger of Bölkow GmbH and Messerschmitt AG to Messerschmitt-Bölkow GmbH

May 1969 -> Buyout of Hamburger Flugzeugbau GmbH through which the Blohm Family became a major shareholder, thus the name change to Messerschmitt-Bölkow-Blohm (MBB)

1989 -> Daimler-Benz daughter DASA ate the MBB

2000 -> DASA merged with the french Aérospatiale-Matra and the spanish CASA to form the EADS – European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (today known as Airbus Group).

So I guess Airbus could start producing under the Messerschmitt Label, in theory at least

Airbus Helicopters, formerly known as Eurocopter, is building on the heritage of MBB (among other helicopter manufacturers merged into the company). The H135 has been developed out of the MBB Bo105 and the H145 is the successor of the MBB/Kawasaki BK117.
