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.

Why do they all look like stroke victims??

Also, what are the medals for? Least credible answer gets a prize

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

North Korean medals are for years of service without being sent to labor camps by dear leader. They’re like Xbox achievements and get progressively harder as time goes on.

Is it tradition to create medals that look like a child designed and stamped them out?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 hours ago

They're just foil from chocolate coins. Kim ate all the chocolate, of course

These men all look like pieces of fruit left out in a hot, dry climate.

Each officer is required to wear 15 pieces of flair minimum.

The north Koreans are so poor all the medals are probably steel.

What could these awards really be for though?

[–] [email protected] 41 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

In North Korea, it is tradition to wear your father's and grandfather's honors in addition to your own. This means someone whose familty has had a long military tradition would accumulate quite the display.

Oh wow that's interesting, I'm radically ambivalent on this one

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 hours ago (3 children)

I can never tell if people are telling the truth or bullshitting...

It would make sense, since eastern asia has the focus more on family vs. individual.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

In fairness, that's the same thing I've heard since the mid 2000s. So if it's bullshit, it's long-running bullshit. Like the eating spiders in your sleep thing

Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

In NCD, does it matter?

Immortan Joe had less swag on his armor than these guys! Do they worry that they'll get too many and not be able to wear them all, and disrespect Dear Leader?

Or can use them as pellets against enemies thus saving some ammunitions for the country.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Or collapse under the shear weight of them?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 hours ago

Unless they are all plastic...
