NonCredibleDefense
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.

Yeah, there's pearls being clutched over this one, but they hit almost entirely actual targets. I have a feeling the civilian death toll in Palestine has already eclipsed this several times since it happened.
Yeah, those pesky human rights organisations, damn pearl clutchers, amirite fellas??? /S

I mean, Amnesty's whole purpose is to catalogue and condemn anything that leads to a violation of anyone's human rights. They don't see pesky things like practical reality or going after the big offenders first as their purview. I'm not sure I'd call that pearl clutching, exactly, but it can come across as whiny if like me you value being given an actual alternative.
Pretty much any military weapon has the potential to hit someone nearby - even the humble rifle generates stray bullets. Presumably, in their personal life they're not all absolute pacifists, so they're alright in principle with using guns anyway, to fight a sufficiently just war.
Acknowledgement of the elephant in the room that this isn't remotely a just war.
You're downplaying human rights organisations and indiscriminate bombings.
Comparing this to firearms is beyond ridiculous. You aim your "humble" rifle, each bullet.

At UNSC, UN rights chief says Israel’s attacks on Hezbollah devices violated international law and could be a war crime.
"Pearl clutching."
I'm not gonna start whatabouting, but I don't think you'd be that glib about dead 9-year-olds in real life.
Why do you pretend cowardly indiscriminate bombings with civilian objects, during daytime, weren't a violation of international law?
Do you happen to know the law? Oh no? You're just defending Israel by talking out of your ass against international humanitarian law experts? Yeah, guessed as much.

Take it to PM's. NCD isn't the place for this discourse.
Whoops, sorry. Replied before I saw this. Deleted; we'll see how well that federates.
Sounds a bit like youre clutching your pearls.
I mean, I can just ban you if you don't like my warnings lmao that was always an option
