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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.
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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

I don't have a license nor a car so it might be more suspicious in the first place. I also don't want to murder anybody. But seeing how our society considers deaths cause by cars as normal and unavoidable "accidents", I'll probably still have more chances of getting away with it.
Like, sorry, I didn't see them, I'm just learning, it was an accident. The person just jumped in front of the car, in dark clothing, with no reflective gear.

Deaths caused by cars are horribly normalized.
Go ahead try it. You've linked an opinion piece and a paper on news headlines. You didn't just Google those and then linked then before fully understanding in order to try and win an Internet agreement did you? You also ignore that the overall clearance rate for murder starts under 50% and convictions below 30 right, but you expect that to be a higher clearance for bikes?
No, I linked those because I have had this argument for years now and it's tiresome. People driving cars can clearly get away with much more than if they were not in a car.
The last incident I just read about was a cyclist that was killed by someone in a car. He was in a group of 10 and the driver claims she didn't see him. No charges, it was "obviously" an accident. Someone is dead, killed by someone driving a car, and it's no biggie. It's just an "accident".
So, whatever the clearance, either it's a huge pickup or a sedan, it doesn't really matter if the driver can see people in front of them or not, they can just say they didn't see them, it's an "accident".
There are indeed statistics on how clearance and the height of a vehicle can be more deadly, but again, it doesn't really matter because nobody cares about deaths caused by cars.
