Vegemite. Totally Australian necessity.
Is this subreddit just like US military hate or what's the point of it. All I usually see is memes about how US bad or Lockheed this.
And why do we hate the US? Is it because of the orange man?
I'll be serious for a sec to dispell any misconceptions here about our community. NCD is not anti US military. We're sad that lockmart is suffering because of shitty policy, but we're excited for the rise of European, Japanese, Australian MICs.
No worries. Yea probably past that point in my life where I want to continue to read about stressful or controversial topics. I'll just go ahead and bow out as these really are not conversations I'm interested in. That and I haven't exactly received warm welcomes from many of the Lemmy communities.
"why do we hate the US"
brother where do we start
Sub has always been pro democracy through power. Seeing as there's now a monarch in the White House, the US Royal Army needs to be resisted
Lol
I'm Canadian they threatened our sovereignty. Also orange man bad
What's that bottle in the top left?
Vegemite
Banned internationally under the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention.
Trump might unironically be the best thing to ever happen to Australia.
Seeing how he's cutting off support for right wing cookers at the knees, best thing to happen to western democracy.
Yeah I know the current admin is being total tools but I'm glad the EU and AU are finally thinking of defense without guarantees of US help.
Many US mil leaders have said that they want their allies to be ready to handle themselves because the US could find itself focusing on a different area of the globe
The deadliest continent builds the deadliest stuff, we're emerging from the Mandela effect multiverse and realigning with a fun one!
Australia actually has a fairly robust naval shipbuilding industry in Adelaide, and an established armoured vehicle industry in the east, building bushmasters and Hawkies.
A fair amount of drones and counter-drone systems too.
I understand our defence industry revolves mostly around producing totally not US requirement under licence to get around ITAR.
pleasepleaseplease let them all get unique camo patterns again i know 50 shades of multicam is effective and cheap but holy shit guys would someone think of the drip?!??
A fractal opera house camo would be fucking amazing
Vegemite?
Couldn't we just go for nuclear tipped ICBMs like civilized people?
We're not animals.
NonCredibleDefense
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.
