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.

Mate how old is this meme, that's ex-president Shinzo Abe and he's been dead for 4 years.

He’s been pretending to be dead for four years to avoid talking to Donald.

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Faked getting doohickey'd just so he wouldn't have to talk to that bag of shit.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Turns out we are all dead inside, and the call was coming from inside the house.

And the real journey was the awkward silences we had along the way

[–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 12 points 1 day ago

Probably first term. This has first term vibes.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 25 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nah man, it’s brand new. See Shinzo Abe wanted so very little to talk to Trump he escaped to a whole different plane of existence.

My Next Life as a Reincarnated President in Another World Where I Don't Have to Talk to Trump Vol. 1

The final episode is Trump dying and being reincarnated into Abes world.

... as his rival in a magical academy where rank is determined by monthly spellcasting tournaments

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Trump always "wins" because his stupid rambling keeps messing up others' spells and their concentration. When he falls asleep mid-fight and loses, he whines around until he "wins"

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

I think part of it too is because by some weird loophole, his sharts actually count as spells, and it tends to knock his opponents out immediately...

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

With slimes. And catgirl assassins.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

And all the 15yos he can impregnate while saying "this is normal for them you see"

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why'd you have to make it weird?

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Shinzo Abe and the entirety of Japanese pop culture but most especially isekai trash made it weird.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like you're making a lot of sweeping generalizations

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sounds like you don't know shit about Shinzo Abe or anime.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did he have a breeder kink? Was he a nonce? Do you have any sources to back up these claims you're making or is it just slander?

Also, you apparently don't know much about anime if you think you can lump the whole genre into one gross generalization the way you're doing.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Abe had some sort of fixation with having children. He didn't do anything illegal in this regard as far as I know, but it was a bit weird.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Source? Without more context that sounds like a very human sentiment. Most people in history have wanted to have children. It's why we're still here. It's a foundational premise in a lot of classic media, and it has even had a significant impact on many historical events and time periods.

Insinuating that he's a pedophile with a harem of children that he regularly breeds, and only backing up your claim with "he's fixated on having children," if fucking WILD; and since you tried tying it to his Japanese identity, more than a little racist.

[–] emergencyfood@sh.itjust.works 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

I don't know Japanese domestic politics well enough to say when it started, but Abe asking people to have children is a bit of a meme.

Insinuating that he's a pedophile with a harem of children that he regularly breeds, and only backing up your claim with "he's fixated on having children,"

How did you get that from 'He didn't do anything illegal in this regard as far as I know, but it was a bit weird.'

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

Oh, my bad. I thought you were the original commenter who said this:

And all the 15yos he can impregnate while saying "this is normal for them you see"

Followed by the explanation that it was Abe who made it weird.

Which is a completely different thing from a Prime Minister encouraging the nation's citizens to have more children, especially as a response to an impending population crisis.
