Shitposting about geopolitics, diplomacy, and current events for shits and giggles

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 bad diplomacy 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 elsewhere.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about international diplomacy. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or talk about military tactics or equipment. There are other places for that.

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. Please leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your 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.

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

NonCredibleDiplomacy 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 is incredibly disrespectful to the CIA's efforts to complete the Geneva Checklist.

This is also most modern media in a nutshell.

Which is why I generally avoid movies and TV and stick with video games. It has the same stupid plot, but at least I get some interaction...

Literally any Cohen Bros movie.

The two scenes with JK Simmons were the only things I liked in that movie.

Sorry it is reference to Czech film. This scene in particular. (First comment is translation to eng)

Uh, most conflict there post-WWII was foreign intervention due to resources

Perhaps a hot take, but to me that is Breaking Bad due to Walter's pride.

[–] CondensedPossum@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

see when it's pride you call it a Tragedy

[–] TastyWheat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I've also seen Prometheus

I'm pretty sure this was the entire premise of dumb and Dumber.

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I feel called out here...
