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.

Last I checked the LDS have actual industrial arms manufacturering capacity.

This is the real answer, there are soooo many Mormon gun companies and defense contractors it's fucking wild.

A not insignificant one at that.

You must have your years supply of food and ammo just like the prophet told us…

The Amish might be more self reliant for the long haul. Keep growing veggies and chickens and you can outlast the Mormons during an insurgency.

And a fair amount of them own an AR-15

And we all know how well it went the last time a massive industrialized army took on a bunch of peasants on bikes.

Lots of Mormons in the Secret Service, FBI, etc. Their jingoistic fervor is highly sought after.

some recruiters call this "low-risk behavior", apparently cult takeover was not one of these risks

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah their adherence to the Mormon faith means they live largely without indulging in vices so they are harder to compromise/extort (allegedly)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

yeah they might be harder to compromise with booze but they are already compromised by cult thinking, best deal in history lol

i heard that CIA recruits from mormons

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That can't be real because everyone knows

THERE IS NO CIA

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I think it even says that in the CIA fact book, which means it is in fact a fact

Wait how did you get access to our handbook?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

we learned how to print hello world in COBOL

it's the NSA that doesn't exist

Politicians, sure. Not what I was talking about though.
