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. 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.

Yup the US has done some nasty shit. Now what does that have to do with the current situation in Ukraine? Do you have a point or are you just being a dink?
Oh, wow, a tankie
There were a lot of them in the early days of the Lemmyverse, proportionately speaking. They're in the process of being diluted away by Rexxiters but there's still an unusual concentration in some parts.
There is a conflict going on with war crimes RIGHT NOW and your best response is but America Bad. Wow!
Go blow your top somewhere else.
First off, please look at a calendar and check what century we are in. If you can't recognize current atrocities, then you have no business in discussing past injustices.
You are comparing a US state, US Territory works on voting on statehood, and a US detention center that is state of the art compared to current Russian Filtration/Concentration camps.
Nothing you mentioned compares to this stuff at the moment. We can differ and that is that. I'm not going to downplay the current atrocities, so you feel better about having bad politics that don't acknowledge human suffering.
Enjoy your whataboutism & but America Bad insanity with someone else.

Where are you when the CCP commit atrocities?, Where were you when the NK abuses human right?, Where were you when the soviet union send tank to hungary?, Where were you when the holodomor happend?, When were you when....
It's could go on and on and on.
So america bad when it's do shit, but if russia, china, and other do it. It's ok because it's america fault?.
You could critize US for it's imperialism but don't ignore when other countries do it too.
Bro Hawaii voted to become a state. The pro state movement was native opposition to the plantation owners who didn't want pesky US laws protecting the natives. Read a book.
What aboutism is such a lazy argument
Thank you? Don't see how that's relevant here.
Now do USSR
