A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo 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.

I know this image isn't cyberpunk, but it is indeed some kind of punk aesthetic, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Dieselpunk might be more accurate.

[–] Throbbing_Banjo@midwest.social 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Knowing nothing about military hardware, I think this image meets the theme of "high tech, low life" pretty well.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 4 points 6 days ago (2 children)

A Russian T60 is not high tech, wtf are you talking about lol

[–] knightly@pawb.social 6 points 6 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

It was when it was first produced.

The street finding its own uses for outdated military hardware is extremely on-theme for the cyberpunk genre.

This image might better fit the aesthetics of the cyberpunk derivative "Dieselpunk", but only aesthetically. As a genre of literature, Dieselpunk themes break down into two categories, "Piecraftian Dieselpunk" where culture has ceased to evolve due to the ongoing existential threat of global war and "Ottensian Dieselpunk" that tries to project the utopian visions of the 20's foward despite or instead of the Great Recession and World War 2. Neither of these themes fit the image, as they're both retrocausal and can't envision a world where converting a useless old tank into a fruit stand would make sense. It'd either be recycled in the Piecraftian mode or would never fall out of the military's hands in the Ottensian.

But the cyberpunk themes are dead-on. The existence of this image implies a person who might as well be a character trope for the genre, a shopkeeper in the margins of a dystopian society where discarded military surplus is cheaper than real estate.
