Non-credible Inspiration: https://www.theverge.com/policy/798491/frog-portland-trump-national-guard (Archive version)

When Donald Trump’s administration issued orders to send the National Guard into Portland, Oregon, a person in a frog balloon suit showed up at the city’s ICE facility, where protesters had gathered. After the frog humped the air in front of a throng of federal law enforcement — many dressed in head-to-toe camo with military-grade helmets, gas masks, and riot shields — the feds slowly began to retreat. What else could they do? A soldier knows what to do when they encounter another soldier. But an air-humping frog?

I love how Kristi Noem doesn't have a page, but the Air-Humping Frog does.

I was going to say she doesn't meet the notability criteria, but her quality of "not able" is through the roof...

Wake up babe, new military intel just dropped...

can someone explain what "aura farming" means?

It's just another way to say cultivating an image. You want to give off a certain impression to others, so you project certain traits and moods that resonate with people. Often with the goal of looking like a badass by being "extra" about it.

Sounds like something you might do at the crystal convention. Probably RFK’s brainworm uses it to make important health care decisions.

Don't underestimate the tactical power of humping the air while dressed weird. So many modern leaders ignore the sheer stopping power of "being weird AF bro"

Once in college, armed with assorted mismatched costume equipment, a bunch of bananas hanging from the front of my belt, and socks with sandals, my sensual thrusts nearly caused the enemy supply chain to take out their own forces (a pizza delivery car saw me shakin what the manic episode gave me and almost swerved up onto the opposite busy sidewalk).

Although the Frog seems to be in earnest, the effect of this interview is ridiculous. A serious television reporter is holding up a microphone to a big smiley cartoon balloon frog person with googly eyes. The effect is even more pronounced when you hear the Frog’s slightly squeaky voice. It is one of the most incredible rejoinders to the militarized repression of the Trump regime, and should be understood as the peak representation of how political speech in America operates today.

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.
