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.

I mean props to him seemed like he was “wow yeah, fair enough”. In “other” countries that protester would have been beaten into a coma.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's the "i'm not paid enough to cause a civil war" expression. Dude just put his hands up like a roller coaster about to take a plunge, he know who his real enemy are but still have to make it look tough.

[–] CTDummy@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah feels that way. The hand up feels more like he’s with a sparring partner than “enemy of the state”. He’s got a rifle slung and doesn’t feel like he even thinks the protester will go for it. Pretty level headed by all involved including the guy conducting the ol’ spineroo.

[–] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Serious props to that dudes form. Clean grab, followed up by a good secure with the freed second hand, just enough force behind the spin and push to send the message without making himself a direct threat.

That's solid form, all around.

Don't forget holding his phone in the other hand the whole time

i mean military just showed up, did absolute minimum just so that they can't be prosecuted for refusing orders, and when parliament voted martial law away some of them left (before being ordered so) then the rest left anyway. they knew what was going on and didn't want part in this

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, conscription sucks etc etc, but this is why you want it. You *try* to make it so that the average citizen is represented throughout the military so that it's not just one group of gung ho violent dickheads that self select for abuse of power.

Also, it means the guy in the crowd can also put up against that kind of bullshit as a civillian.

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 years ago

political power grows out of barrel of a gun like they say few borders north. it does make sense to make everyone participate, but it's always a tradeoff

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Conscription is slavery.

What you want is to revitalize the concept of the citizen-soldier.

The problem with that as applied to a modern society instead of like, ancient Mediterranean cultures is that we just don't need that many soldiers anymore.

Yet...

we just don't need that many soldiers anymore.

I know we're being noncredible but damn

The classical republics expected literally every male citizen to train regularly and purchase at least some of their own arms and equipment as part of it, with wealthier citizens supplying more expensive material for everyone, aka, the well regulated militia.

Non-crediblenessousity aside I don't think America needs 175 million soldiers.

You can argue that "citizens" wasn't as inclusive then as we expect it to mean now but that's still a hell of people unless a cool war starts again.

Not America, no. But I see the benefit of conscription with turds like North Korea on your border.

America needs 175 million soldiers

I came violently upon seeing these words and wasn't able to read the surrounding text.

I don’t understand why they tried to grab the phone in the first place?

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Probably so they could snap a selfie together

[–] AresUII@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Bro distracted a whole ass country from Johnny Somali.

I see a static image seems I'm losing some higlights from the SK coup attempt?
