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.

Especially since it was WW1. I wouldn't feel so bad if it was WW2 and Nazis were being unalived, but nobody deserved to die in WW1.
Eh.
Wilhelm II kind of deserved to get executed. The deeper you look into that guy the worse he gets. Obviously there were bastards all around but that shit was genuinely his fault.
Didn't happen, obviously, because consequences are for peasants.
In WWI, Neither sets of soldiers wanted to be there. Neither wanted to fights, and neither had been conditioned to see the enemy as subhuman.
This led to numerous examples of comaradary. The most famous example being the Christmas football match.
WWII was the first example of industrialised propaganda. The Nazis were conditioned to believe they were truly better, and so capable of doing the horrifying war crimes we now know happen.
WWI, the command was fairly evil on both sides, but the grunts weren't involved.
WWII, 1 sides command was particularly evil, and the grunts were convinced to agree with them.
Yep. WWI poetry is just so heartbreaking.
WWI - yes, not necessarily specifically bcs of Nazis (one solder is just a human, exactly like the enemy solder), but because WWI was much more contained in fixed fronts, soldiers vs soldiers. Back then they still avoided civilians (but then tech advanced).
