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.

Yep, that's a real tweet. What a world.

[–] ZMonster@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, that gives me hope. That if we ever get our shit together, the world might be a better place despite our worst efforts.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 24 points 3 days ago (1 children)

It says to me that whoever runs Iran's twitter is a smartass.

[–] Comment105@lemm.ee 29 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, doesn't Iran also directly fund some of the most irredeemable kinds of terrorists? They definitely kill their own protesting students without remorse. Like Trump intends to.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but didn't you know, it doesn't matter the kinds of atrocities they are responsible for, if they don't like the US they are the good guys.

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Honestly, when judging the actions of large organization such as governments it is best not to rely on simplistic "good guy"/ "bad guy" narratives. It might be best to judge each action on its own merit since it might be entirely different parts of the organization performing each action or making each statement.

Hell, the whole "good guy"/"bad guy" thing barely works on individuals.

[–] Jiggle_Physics@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I can make it easy, there are no good guys

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe, but more importantly there are no people or organizations so good that everything they do is good by association nor any people or organizations so bad that everything they do is bad by association.

I agree to a point. However there are groups that are all bad, and everyone associated is bad. They are cultural cancer. Also, a lot of countries, organizations, ideological groupings, etc. may not be all bad, the mundanity of evil and all, but their bad actions are such that any good they did was nullified.

We are not picky, as long as there's any pressure against this insanity.

[–] skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 days ago

yeah but that's probably just some dude on twitter

Heartbreaking: Country you hate just supported the right cause

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 days ago

Hey, you got your Clickhole in my NCD!

What? You got your NCD in my Clickhole!

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I just love the people that think "people you hate do X" is an argument.

Did you know the Nazis breathed air! Every single one of them!

[–] taladar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

I hear some of them even consumed food & water.

Perun has taught me that uranium supplies does not mean nuclear weapons.

[–] evidences@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I think that's more about Iran wanting uranium and not so much Canada's nuclear weapons program.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Perun taught me they don’t have the industry to support nukes

[–] Forester@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

What? It only takes time and effort and a few hundred million dollars of non-tampered machinery.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

You need a reasonably capable semiconductor industry or partnership with somebody that has one.

I do think Iran has both of those, but I'm not an expert. Anyway, they had a major setback once because they were relying on electronics trafficked from Germany.

[–] Forester@pawb.social 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

That's not how stuxnet works. I'm not a tanky by any means. I'm an American and we had to hire a swedish operative to infiltrate their closed Gap systems and insert a rubber ducky. The problem wasn't that the machinery came from Germany. The problem was we paid off a swedish guy to rape the software.

Do you think Chinese military ADCs are vulnerable to Windows 0-day attacks?

People would have a much harder time if Iran had a proper sourcing of their equipment.

You realize there are several root escalation zero day exploits for all versions of the Linux kernal from that time period right?

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Tell that to the government when you go and buy a small centrifuge.
