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 β€˜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.

I've been following a base defence plan:

  1. Watch every UFO invasion movie
  2. Don't live in the cities that are shown being destroyed.

Especially, don't be anywhere near the statue of liberty.

You'll be fine, thank me later.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

Also don’t live anywhere requiring a bridge crossing or an island. That said I live on Long Island within eyeshot of Statue of Liberty. I’ve accepted my fate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I think I have been nuked. Oh wait this might be heartburn, sorry.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I used my microwave that counts right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

No that's just hot pocket levels of micro radiation. Maybe if you put spicy rocks in it first.

[–] prime_number_314159 2 points 12 hours ago

My Geiger counter is beeping occasionally, even though I'm hiding in my basement. Is... Is this the end?

[–] finitebanjo 1 points 11 hours ago

Technically ATACMS also includes the "short-ranged" balistic missile category.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 23 hours ago

Well that's why I woke up in a smoking crater. God dammit.

Admin from lemmy.ml basically summed up in a comic, definitely check out his profile for sequels

https://midwest.social/post/19339660/13589968 Under replies

The one reply he says US is Balkanizing Russia is hilarious, the stretch these Russian bot farms make

[–] JWayn596 98 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This guy is a literal moron, you cannot frame the world from a settler-colonist mindset and tell me with a straight face that "Russia Good", "China Good".

Thats not anti-facism, socialism, or anti-imperialism, thats just anti-US.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

Thats not anti-facism, socialism, or anti-imperialism, thats just anti-US.

Their entire thing in a nutshell. It's flat Earth theory with geopolitics, they believe the opposite of what everyone else does for the sake of it; the communist stuff is just decoration.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 18 hours ago

It's only imperialism if it comes from anglophone regions that don't pretend to be socialist. Otherwise, it's just sparkling hegemonic expansionism.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

that's campism

[–] horse_battery_staple 44 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I called him a tankie and sit at 5/5...

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Link for anyone curious: midwest.social | lemmy.world | sh.itjust.works | discuss.tchncs.de

Apparently he didn't like being called a tankie

Its like the 6th comment down on your profile m8

Job ain't done till they instance ban you lmfao

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

One of his recent replies (under 1h ago):

You’d think the West would have taken it seriously after Crimea was annexed. But even after losing most of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson, there are still imperial core labor aristocrat clowns like you, still failing to read the room.

His handler needs to tell him to tone it down. It's just too unbelievable

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

He's basically taking advantage of his position in the only instance where a Lemmy dev is present as admin (who probably isn't aware of what this admin has been up to, maybe), to spread propaganda, it goes from Chinese propaganda narratives to Russian propaganda, his profile is full of it and he replies quite often, I wonder how he has so much time..

[–] NOT_RICK 34 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I see you’re new. The two main lemmy devs are tankies themselves

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Whew, thats disappointing.. I didn't know, thanks for the heads up!

[–] NOT_RICK 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sure is! I’ve heard some are working on a compatible fork to get away from the platform being dependent upon them; not sure where that stands though.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The drop in replacement is Sublinks, though it hasn't gotten any commits since augest, so it might be a while.

The most promising potential replacement is Piefed, which is already operational. It's ahead of Lemmy in some ways, and rougher in others, but the Dev is a chill dude :)

Aristocrat clown rides into the ring in a Rolls Royce Silver Shadow, 100 clowns pile outta that beast. You're in good company here. I want to be Hobo Clown With the latest iPhone.

wait, then in this case who gets to bomb ~~Belgrad~~ ~~Belgorod~~ Moscow

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

If Russia drops a bomb, then NATO immediately deploys conventional bombs with their own air force on all Russian forces in Ukraine, and China/India both sanction Russia (which basically means the whole world is sanctioning Russia, since nobody will want to piss off the USA and EU and China and India - even NK might sanction Russia).

In other words, if Moscow drops a nuke then their military and their economy both disintegrate.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

If Russia drops a single nuke, everybody.

That's the thing, no one wants to break the ice at this party.

[–] _bcron_ 52 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Not nuked yet but if I gotta choose between being nuked for standing behind some pretty reasonable principles, or living and allowing some strong arm bully to do whatever the fuck they want under that threat, I guess I've found the hill I'm willing to be nuked on

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 day ago (5 children)

βœ‹

But I got better. It was really just a little nuking.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago

It turned me into a newt!

[–] ChicoSuave 13 points 1 day ago

That's called a microwave

[–] Valmond 7 points 1 day ago

Got nuked this morning once, and three times this afternoon!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

You got nuked or you got newted?

[–] Maggoty 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're supposed to wait for the microwave to turn off before you grab the burrito out.

[–] blazeknave 2 points 16 hours ago

Couldn't get the front panel back in c tiktok

[–] shalafi 19 points 1 day ago

Damn it! Author missed a perfect opportunity to spell it "materiel".

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

Not sure what I ate but I just nuked my toilet. Does it count?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

I haven't been nuked and woke up to go to work. Where are your warheads when I urgently need them?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 day ago

Literally on fire right now. πŸ”₯
