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.

Here me out on this:

  1. Join the war on the US side
  2. Be really bad at your job, causing tons of friendly fire accidents
  3. Defect to Canada before they catch you
  4. Enjoy some well earned pancakes with authentic maple syrup

If you go to Canada right away, there's no way you're getting the maple syrup rations as a foreigner.

Only doing this if I get a moose steak with those pancakes.

Moose aren't like a sacred animal in Canada right?

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 15 hours ago

You'll have to fight the Mounties for them:

Moose are revered and they are to be respected!! They can stomp your face effortlessly.

I believe Aboriginal cultures have many deep ties with the moose. I think some people hunt and eat them, but it's not really a thing on a menu where I am (urban west coast), and is moreso a maritime/Newfoundland menu thing.

Regardless, we build many statues to them: (I have only seen one of these in person [top right, Deer Lake Newfoundland].)

Image transcription: Five moose statues from around Canada. Moose are 2m or ~~8~~ 6.5-7 feet tall (at the shoulder), so these are some bigass sculptures. One, which was a memorial for a man who died of cancer, is now covered in bras for breast cancer awareness/fundraising.

Edit: converting metres to feet is hard to do in my head.

Once trump cuts off all government funding from the blue states as he keeps threatening to do, maybe they could join Canada as provinces. It should be win-win considering the blue states contribute more to the federal govt. than they receive from it; while red states receive more than they contribute. So they would make Canada stronger and Trumpistan weaker. Trump wants to expand US lands to impress his idol putin and be like him, but instead he would lose territory.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago

The only meaningful argument against secession is that individual states would be weaker against invaders.

Except it didn't work. We were invaded over the internet and lost. What are we protecting ourselves against? Being invaded by a world power that gives its people health care? Losing the democracy we just lost despite never having it to begin with?

The USA is bad for everyone now... Even Americans.

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

It’s a nice idea, but they should be independent.

California has a larger population (and also GDP, I believe) than Canada.

It makes no sense that Canada would want to more than double its population overnight.

[–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Create a Union. Let Europe help - we're VERY interested in a strong and democratic North American continent, and perhaps we can teach one or two things about democratic resiliency to the so-called "land of the free".

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

It's interesting to think about. If the blue states, which are not contiguous, seceded and joined together as a nation, they'd be scattered groups of states and easily defeated. But if they formed a union with Canada (the NAU?), then at least the territory of the NAU would be contiguous because most of the blue clumps are adjacent to Canada: the NE states, west coast states, Minnesota, probably Michigan, and then Illinois, which might be isolated depending on how Wisconsin would go. Colorado and New Mexico would still be isolated. Maybe they could defeat Arizona and be linked up with the west coast.

Then there'd be the issue of the US capital being D.C which along with its surroundings is overwhelmingly blue, so it would just have to be taken as part of the NE section, and Trumpistan would have to have its capital elsewhere.

In the rust belt? Or Florida?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

It would be good to have an established federal government. Knowing america, though, we would fuck that up real quick.

We burned your White House down once, we'll do it again!

[–] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

Serious hat for a moment, but the idea that Canadians burnt the White House is a misconception. It was British soldiers from units raised outside of Canada, which had been sent over for the war which did that.

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 24 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, the white house can burn down twice in a four year period.

[–] activ8r@sh.itjust.works 9 points 14 hours ago

British here:

[–] Dhar@lemmy.ca 5 points 15 hours ago

Thank you for the serious-hat correction!

[–] kreskin@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago

More than half of the US will literally be throwing flowers at your feet as you march toward the capital to burn it. Its about the only thing both parties agree on. Well, that and taking AIPAC bribes to fund a genocide,both parties are down with that too. And guns now I guess. And closing the border.

I follow the proud American tradition my grandfather had of fighting fascism.

If the government of the states decides to be fascist, well...

I've always wondered, which movie was this frame from?

[–] fprawn@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Pretty sure its Hot Fuzz

[–] tfkgmjfy@lemmy.world 1 points 19 minutes ago

Hot Fuzz, the middle movie of the cornetto trilogy!

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 9 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

The usa thought the insurgency was bad in Afghanistan, wait until they see the combo of the largest undefended boarder, a people with a very similar look and culture (at least for language) and oh yeah a unpopular occupation of the country that has had more entries added into the Geneva conventions then any other nation.

Yeah, and about those nukes in shared sites on Canadian land, all isolated and infamously under defended......

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 27 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you for your future service.

We pay in healthcare and not giving a damn if you smoke up.

Y'all's about to see a Canadian's real war face... On their homeland.

[–] erin@social.sidh.bzh 15 points 21 hours ago (7 children)

well on one side Canada has Wali and can resurrect Leo Major with their secret maple syrup potion, on the other side they would loose access to their F-35 fleet. So I don't know if Canada has a chance or not.

If Canada find a way to clone Leo Major and send one Leo Major on each American city, it's an easy win for Canada. Can Mapple Syrup clone people?

[–] nuke@sh.itjust.works 18 points 21 hours ago

Do not underestimate the power of maple syrup.
