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.

Are you saying they're depressed?

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 33 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

Yeah kinda but then half of you idiots elected a pedophile and half of you decided not to vote so you are all idiots.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 49 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

you gotta understand, the alternative was to vote for a woman.

[–] MrKoyun@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

AND she's brown!

[–] Eternal192@anarchist.nexus 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Would it really be worse than four years with Trump?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de -3 points 3 weeks ago

It's really a toss up, when you think about it

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

She literally campaigned on bombing Iran

[–] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Was that listed in her platform?

[–] Objection@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

She specifically said that she would "never hesitate to take whatever action necessary to protect US interests from Iran," in addition to promising to ensure the US has "the most lethal military in the world."

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

and continuing the Gaza genocide.

I know, she was another neoliberal tool, better than trump, but we're comparing shit, v toxic shit

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

So what's with the bullshit about it being because she's a woman? Her campaign was horrible, at least trump lied about not starting new wars lol

Americans were starting ww3 regardless of what side they voted for so I kind of understand those who obstained

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I've had this conversation so many times. didn't feel like tying the same things over and over,

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

There's nothing to be gained from it

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Yeah there's nothing to be gained by claiming sexism when it wasn't the reason she lost

Maga rallies behind tons of women

let's face it, it's both.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Trumplethinskin didn't, but still did

[–] rabber@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah and americans are stupid fucks for the most part who believed him. Harris had an easy win and fucked it up for everyone

[–] FlexibleToast@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

The funny part is, this can work for both Harris and Hillary.

[–] Hueristic_Autistic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I was going to vote for Cornel West but ultimately voted for the cackling one. If Cornel West ran again, I would vote for him.

[–] Omnipitaph@reddthat.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Almost everyone I know voted for Kamala. I know its popular to shit on the US, but general sweeping statements, especially insults, make you out as an ass. Secondly, your statement fulfills the original definition of 'idiocy' by making incorrect political statements with confidence :/

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 weeks ago

OHMYGAWD THOSE TWO ARE CUTTING THE PAINT.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 13 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

We used to be a proper country (for the most part).

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

We used to be a proper country (for the most part).

a colony that through genocide and then slavery became a "country" to later fuck up the rest of the world through wars or conspiracies

still today bombing a country on the other side of the world and threatening to invade at least 2 neighbors

not to forget that the same country, populated by the grand children of the colonizers, are imprisoning the newcomers and their children too

We used to be a proper country (for the most part).

when exactly?

[–] Cris_Citrus@piefed.zip 13 points 3 weeks ago

Someone posted this recently and I appreciated someone in the comments pointing out the guy riding his bike/unicycle into the pool lol

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm from the area, then/now/20 years ago you would NEVER walk in that pool. Its been full of goose shit as long as I can remember.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 26 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I have bad news about every single body of open water.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 23 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

I've heard fish fuck in it.

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)
[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That's why I only drink water

[–] DeltaWingDragon@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water or rainwater? And only pure grain alcohol?

[–] raman_klogius@ani.social 1 points 1 week ago

fish don't fuck in the water. they bukkake in it.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)
[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

To play the devil's advocate: the comment says 20 years ago. Your source is a movie that's 3 decades old and the scene takes place quite a few decades earlier

[–] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 weeks ago

And now it's the domain of the Swamp Thing. Swamp Thing 2026

This is making fun of a Mossad/CIA theme of posts on reddit that hit the frontpage many times over the past years. The format is

  • Picture of young beautiful woman from an affluent household
  • Preferably in her pyjamas or in a bikini
  • Caption "Before the revolution Iran was a very Westernized country"

The point was to manufacture consent for war. Yankee incels in the comments would then thirst for liberating Iranian women and fantasize about getting a piece.

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 10 points 3 weeks ago

No spoilers for upcoming political events please. Just wait and see

[–] Ulvain@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Not sure what op means... Maybe the jan 6 coup? Which technically was more successful than we give it credit for (after all, they're all pardoned, and their guy is in power and unchecked, so...)?

[–] DonGirses@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Probably a play on the Iranian revolution meme

[–] DrDickHandler@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

The one where the AI Surveillance State takes over.
