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.

hostile reminder that government != people of a given country
there is some opposition, not much, and you won't hear from them a lot because communications out of the country are tightly controlled and iranian security apparatus is on the more hostile end of scale, but there is something. iranian emigrants tend to be pretty liberal
I've worked with a few Iranians during college and grad school and they were all awesome people. I just with the government if their home country wasn't evil and create the need for them to escape
Ah you mean the Iran that was doing perfectly well and was a beacon of progressiveness until the United States overthrew their democratically elected government in the 50s?
It is not the argument if they were evil before the US intervened
You can not change the past and currently they are a oppresive religious dictatorship
The Shah had his secret police making people disappear and using torture. He was not a beacon of anything.
Shah was a piece of shit, but i'm pretty sure lotrorc is about removal of prime minister Mossadegh from power. That definitely didn't make things better
and by the way, i'm of opinion that it's one of several times in history when rabid mccarthyism of CIA came around to bite them in their ass later, because if shah's CIA handlers weren't laser-focused on destruction of Tudeh party, then Khomeini would have to compete with them for audience and islamic revolution might have never happened. but it's a talk for another day
I don't think they are talking about the Islamic revolution of the 70s. I believe they are referring to the coup of the Prime Minister in 53'.
The 50s were not the same time period as the Islamic revolution
Ahhh, yes, let's dig up events from 70 years ago as justification for their current behavior!
You don't think that the US putting in an extremist faction that has run the country since has anything to do with them being extremist now?
And funnily enough they've shown more restraint than Israel this entire time
I'm with you on that.
The US' support for Israel is disgusting but...this is not an example of it. Can't even imagine what would follow if all their bombs landed but I know it wouldn't be good for the world even if Israel deserves it.
Israel deserves innocent civilians to be killed?
The attacks were aimed at military targets, at least by what I last read
Obviously I'm not talking about the civilians. Israel bombed Iran first...they "deserved" retaliation.
This meme transcends races. There are many Black Israelite political groups in the US and they don't like Israel, either, in fact, they want to move in on/annex territory from whoever lives there, because they think they're the true inheritors. It will never be sorted out for anyone, so let's meme instead. Detente through superior visual jokes.
