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.

This gets parroted by left wingers a lot, but I've literally never met an American Christian who will come out and say this.
Have you?
Yes I have. Quite a few weirdos. Btw, you are doing the "I have personally not seen this therefore it doesn't exist" mental acrobatic - because you can see everything everywhere at all times, and what other people have to say doesnt matter.

You've gone from "the Christian right only believes this because" to "quite a few weirdos I have met personally", and I'm the one doing mental acrobatics?
You're painting with the same broad brush right wingers do when they say all leftists are gay furry terrorists.
Do you want to understand your enemy, or just demonize them?
stop distorting the reality of the situation. you've had your head in the sand if you've never met christians who are accelerationists, who want the end times now. they're not an isolated one off.

I understand what I need to understand. My experiences with them IRL have led me to my current position.
Spoken like a true bigot. Good luck with that 👍
A predictive model is only as accurate as it's underlying assumptions. Leftists are floundering on the Palestine issue because they don't actually want to understand the opposing side. They're just chasing the dopamine rush of feeling like they're right, always - kind of like religious fundamentalists.
Have you ever met any Evangelical Christians?
I was raised Baptist and the rebuilding of Temple Mount/the Third Temple (destroying the dome of the rock in the process) is religious doctrine. They believe it has to happen for the messiah to return.
They eagerly await WWIII in the middle east as part of their end times prophecies. I've met dozens (easily) who'll get there in a conversation, but you have to talk to them as a believer.
