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. Random twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Low Hanging Fruit thread.

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 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. These include Social media screenshots with a title punchline / no punchline, recent (after the start of the Ukraine War) reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Low effort thread 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.

When they kick down your door, how you gonna come?

With you hands on your head, or on 175 lbs of tannerine and wood screws?

Does a booby-trap that only responds to lethal force technically pass the Katko test?

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What is the katko test.... I'm afraid to look it up? 14 watch lists is plenty

[–] prayer@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago (2 children)

A famous legal case defining what is and isn't allowed for defense of property, specifically about lethal booby traps to stop trespassing. It basically says that you can't use lethal force to defend property using booby traps as they are indiscriminate and therefore cannot determine if certain criteria (i.e. reasonable fear for your life) are met.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

... because Katko used a mousetrap and a shotgun shell to blow a dude's leg off. Over some antique jars.

It's one of those cases where the jury immediately knows a line has been crossed and just needs to hash out how far back.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, some folks are pretty passionate about collecting jars. Thanks for a credible reply.

[–] xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

He just got sick of those vase-slaying MCs

[–] ReplicantBatty@lemmy.one 5 points 1 week ago

I mean, Link kinda had it coming at that point

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the context, I thought the "Katko test" might be a funni/memey reference. TIL! Happy Cake Day!

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

On reflection, the real question is whether you're home at the time, since that makes it the castle doctrine instead of "defense of property." At which point you're free to go full Home Alone a la Last Crusade. The penitent doorkicker kneels! bzzZZZzzzt

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Yesh. When do I get to shlap my shon for blashphemy? Sho exshited aboit my shcenes.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 week ago

What'd the five fingers say to the face? SHLAP!

What'd Boris's face say to those five fingers? Achoo.

[–] Rafael@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

At which point you're free to go full Home Alone a la Last Crusade.

Stop stop I can only get so erect

i think the technicality here is that it would be akin to negligent manslaughter at best. Since self defense wouldn't really apply.

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

Boris is going to get you killed.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

aside from the fact that this would probably completely total your home, and kill your neighbors dog through an act of god.

This is a great idea.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 week ago

User name checks out, there is a significant chance Boris will kill time itself.

[–] YourPrivatHater@ani.social 17 points 1 week ago

Boris the undefeated!

[–] remotedev@lemmy.ca 12 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Wouldn't this put those thin blue line boys they love in danger?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They only love the thin blue line when it’s kneeling on a black guy’s neck.

Plenty of Christian domestic terrorists want to kill cops who want to take their guns away. Weaver, Koresh, McVeigh, Bundy, etc.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I want it on record, stenographers please take this down...I am anti-Ted Bundy. I don't care what charming, yet down to earth actor played him in the biopic. Glorifying a serial killer through entertainment is wrong. I haven't seen it, I do not intend to do so, now or ever, thank you, good night.

[–] darvocet@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It sounds like you may support Ted Bundy….

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 week ago

I deny it, categorically. The allegations that I played golf with a pro-Bundy lobbyist are absolutely false and slanderous. I had no idea anyone else was on the course on the time, as I was focused on the nation's business and correcting my slice.

[–] rocketpoweredredneck@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The people who make these memes aren't the same people who like the cops. There are some very confused people who think 'no step on snek' and prostrating themselves before the ones who'd be doing the stepping makes some kind of sense, but they're also the same people who think climate change isn't real and vaccines kill people. Their opinion is irrelevant.

Fuck the police

[–] upto60percentoff@kbin.run 4 points 1 week ago

Snakes wriggle around desperately on their bellies all the time it fits perfectly

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

You're confusing two groups of people with very little overlap

[–] Delphia@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No they love the cops when the cops are policing them and keeping them in line. The thin blue line between US and THEM.

When its their property and their rights, the governent must be stopped from tyrany.

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Once again, you're confusing two groups of people with very little overlap.

The person who would make Boris is a libertarian not a conservative. Americans have a wildly warped view on politics.

[–] verity_kindle@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Everyone here is being tendentious and obfuscatious! :::Confused screaming:::

[–] Vendetta9076@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Whatcha mean?

[–] psmgx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Still won't stop them from shooting your dog

Rowdy is also filled with Tannerite and wood screws.

[–] yuri@pawb.social 2 points 6 days ago

Rowdy is actually tannerite, a mason jar of gasoline, and the full contents of one (1) stolen sharps disposal bin.
