Pedro Castillo was arrested by his own security detail, it’s kinda hard to beat this. Hotdog man didn’t even get within 200km of Moscow. You only get successful coups in Africa these days

Evgeny Prigozhin started his career selling hotdogs, then become a caterer, then became a chef of Putin, then he founded PMC Wagner, tried to do a coup for dumbest reasons imaginable, then got killed by bomb attached to his private jet

you’re on ncd, you should know that

They should really respect European time zones! Most of the time I only see the first half, even if I stay up late.

Biggest argument in favor of compulsory military service I’ve ever seen. The everyday citizen soldiers didn’t give a fuck about the coup, and weren’t willing to risk confrontation with their military trained fellow citizens for a wannabe dictator. It was a beautiful thing.

You don’t need conscripts. This is just, quite literally, one of the foundations of (small r) republican thought.

When your coup hardly lasts longer than a video about how to coup a country.

This is like the 2016 Erdogan coup.

I mean, at least that one had some kind of military support and an iota of planning. Seems like Yoon just had a bit of a breakdown, doesn’t seem like people in his own party even knew anything was happening.

South Korea may be a bit more conservative than other western democracies, but the people definitely aren’t afraid to hit the streets and fucking riot if needed. None but a few fucking weirdo new right people really want anything to do with dictatorships anymore.

Honestly people hitting the streets and the almost universal backlash against it in S Korean society was really encouraging to see. There clearly seems to be consensus that these kinds of tactics don’t belong in the modern day for them.

Yoon had military backing, it just turns out that those officers were clowns.

Idk there was at least some shooting going on. That blacked out attack helo fucked up some loyalist policemen in Ankara.

This was the epitome of “I’m doing just enough to not catch a court martial, but not enough to do anything”

NonCredibleDefense

!noncredibledefense@sh.itjust.works

Create post

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.
