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.

What’s wrong with Canada and Chilie?

Racism against indigenous populations for one. Might not be as bad as the US, and certainly there better on the scale of imperialism, but it’s still problematic

And no eastern countries have this issue?

They do, I’d say most countries do to varying extents

So now you understand my confusion when the top comment points to this being a western issue, as if one half of the world somehow has no problems.

I was just responding to the ask of what’s wrong with Canada and Chile Edit: I also do think the US bears more responsibility (as do other recent western colonial powers, even if they have already waned). The imperialism of the west has been a major driver of actions against indigenous populations and land reform that was having political success at home. But that threatens shareholder value, so we’ll coup that administration, install a new right wing dictator, sure it’ll be uncomfortable a few decades later when it’s reported how death squads gunned down workers at a bottling plant trying to unionize, but it’ll be time to move on by then to heal, don’t want to make the middle class Americans too sad, and anyways, media will have largely consolidated into billionaire owned conglomerates by then and we can spin the narrative however we want

Were on a post explicitly referencing the US army if you missed the context

Look one comment up and read carefully and then my comment should make sense if you have both halves of your brain. Which was also a hint.

Oh, I see. You think it's ambiguous when people call the only country with America in its name, that people frequently call America, America.

Do you likewise think it was a good idea to rename the gulf? It is, after all, much more the gulf of America than the Gulf of Mexico, right?
Although, considering it's mostly bordered by the United States of America, and the United Mexican States I suppose it would also make sense to call it the Gulf of the United States.

Or you could just recognize that it's normal to shorten a name to the most distinctive word if the name is long.

Your comment had six words, and none of the significant ones seemed particularly related to the comment you referenced. You'll have to forgive people if they can't sus out you meaning from six words.

Is it that you think Canada and Chile do live a more authentic human experience? Ooh, as a twist do you think they do manage to be poor, unsuccessful, and also morally worse than Americans?
That'd be an interesting twist compared to the asinine pedantry that hinges on being weird about one or two words im looking forward to.

So please, maybe make it a bakers dozen, and have some of the words actually reference the subject or object of your ire.

Or I'll just take you literally. "Not fond of the province layout", "Hudson Bay is hard to get to", "bad aspect ratio", and "entirely consisting of mountains makes a cohesive transportation network of any type really hard". That's what's really wrong with Canada and Chile.

So I got to “and none of,” before I stopped. Just want you to know I didn’t get the rest of your message, but it’s definitely received. Have a great rest of your life.

Shame. I thought the Hudson Bay and Chilean aspect ratio bit was pretty good.
