I think I literally quoted Farquad in real time as he said this.
Unless he's done it more than once, which is sadly possible.

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.

that often happens in war
War, like the thing that congress has to declare before you go attacking places willy-nilly?
It's not a war, it's just a special operation, like the one Russia did against Ukraine in Feb 2022!
It's seriously looking like both Cold War powers will be caught in a terminal forever war, that they refuse to call a war, at the same time but for different reasons.
I almost forgot this is the joke timeline for a moment there.
It's a Schrödingconflict - it exists simultaneously as a war and non-war
I am genuinely shocked that the US aren't referring to it as a "special military operation".
Trump has apparently settled on 'an excursion'.
We've pretty much literally hit 1984 levels of linguistic fuckery / hyperreality.
Hyper-what?
HyperReality.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreality
Largely (entirely?) from Baudrillard.
Related to HyperNormalisation, but not quite the same thing.
Curtis, in his documentary, essentially derived HyperNormalisation from HyperReality... he cites Baudrillard a lot, uses it as a framework to describe HyperNormalisation, to refine the ideas, make them more specific, expand upon the foundation laid by Baudrillard.
Huh, TIL. Interesting, thanks!
Ahem.
Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Matrix is.
You have to see it for yourself.
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
No.
I'm telling you that when you're ready...
... it won't matter, because 'dodge' and 'bullets' will mean entirely different things, to people living in different parts of the hyperreality.
Underneath the pond scum, at the bottle, lies all the duck shit.
Traitor?
whale shit?
And my parents eat this with a spoon and lick the bowl.
