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.

All joking aside I want to immolate whoever came up with this war on Christmas shit. Christmas is an ever growing abomination of a holiday that just grows and grows, and frankly speaking I would prefer not to have consumerist embodiment of the fucking Tyranids expand into August.
The war on Christmas will continue until it ends its illegal occupation of November.
I enjoy Christmas and Halloween cultures equally though I know that can be a perilous position to hold these days.
Now look I understand the view of Whole November supporters but that ship has sailed after the Black Friday Accord was signed. That is the decision and rules all sides agreed to live by. That said the Thanksgiving Parallel CANNOT be crossed without decisive response.
But don't even get me started on the Solstice-Equinox Purists
I'm inclined to push Christmas out of November entirely in response to hearing Mariah Carey in stores in October. Concessions only embolden them.
Gonna get credible for a minute, all made the fuck up
There are two Christmasses in my eyes. "Corporate Christmas", with ever expanding Black Friday sales and Mariah Carey hitting FM radio before Halloween is even over (no really it was a thing in my area one year). Widely seen as a big cash grab, companies are seeing what they can get away with. It's super annoying but people can't really do a lot about it other than saying it's too soon and vote with their wallet, but it takes time to change things that way.
Then there is the more traditional "Jesus Christmas" which has been about the same over the years but has recieved some pushback from secular people. You can put Santa everywhere to represent Christmas but not a nativity scene because it's considered religious. It has legal precedent so it's easier to do something about it but it doesn't stop Corporate Christmas people.
And that pisses traditional people off because depite disliking Corporate Christmas more than most they get targeted anyway. So they say there's a war on Christmas and people respond with "what are you talking about (Corporate) Christmas is as big as it's ever been" and they're both right
