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.

Communication? Lebanon has a right to defend itself. It's like questioning why Biden has a line to the Israel Prime Minister.
Hezbollah is a right wing religious militia, not the government of Lebanon
they're not the government but they are a political party with 15 seats in the parliament.
And most political parties don't sit on a stash of rockets and other military weapons.
Most political parties aren't born out of resistance to Israeli Settler Colonialism
Irrelevant. Either they're a political party or an armed militia.
Things are not that simple. Not all of Hezbollah are militants, there are many social workers and politicians
If the existence of good cops does not disprove that all cops are bastards, since policing as a concept is a corrupt institution and if they were really good cops, they would quit, how can we not say the same about social workers who align themselves with a terrorist organization?
Israel does magnitudes more terrorism. Do you consider all the social workers in Israel in the same light?
Equating a health care worker within Hezbollah to a 'good cop' within the Police Department doesn't make much sense. Nor does it use any materialist analysis of the situation to understand the context of their existence.
Hezbollah only exists because of Israel's Settler Colonialism, deliberate targeting of civilians (Dahiya Doctrine), and Ethnic Cleansing. There is plenty about them I don't agree with but that doesn't change the fact that they are a resistance movement.
Ah, so if they're sufficiently oppressed they get a free pass to do whatever they want.
Did the Jewish people in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising? (1) (2) (3)
People have a right to resist occupation and fight colonialism
I should've blocked you when I read your username.
Actually, it's not irrelevant and they're both!
There are more of them that do than there are that don't. A militia wing is very common outside the western world.
Really? What happens if they get a plurality or even a majority, would there be a significant risk of a coup?
Generally speaking, you don't want to mix your militias and political parties.
In some places yes. In others they're already more concerned with an ongoing conflict. There are some that just organize their military that way and wouldn't think of it. Heck that's the original way of organizing a military.
