Talking bollocks thread #3

Anyone interested in any other forum I will give a quick rundown based on experience with tips and guidelines

Space battle forum: Left wing forum, like Space X, Pro-US forum. Politics section can result in ban, really strict as in you can't crack Kardashian jokes on a Armenia thread. And me just stating criticism on Space X also gave me infraction points and ban from going to thread(not forum) while the other user that is pro-Space X didnt receive any infraction points..

AR15.com: Right wing forum, likes Space X, Pro-US forum. However got my account banned in just 10 posts when I was not even done yet criticizing Musk similar to Papadragon on Rogozin.

F-16.net: if you get past 20 posts you will not be limited to 3 posts a day in which one of those posts have to be approved by admin which can take a few days. Pro-US and a quick ban if you oppose it talking about Russian weaponry.

Secretprojects: Moderation done right as long as you go yeah, yeah your right the aircraft(su-57, ka-52 in particular) can't have these features even if news sources have announced it. Could criticize Space X among other related topics on aircrafts. neutral opinions

This forum: Pro-Russia and right wing, moderation is pretty laxed as in you do deserve a reward if you somehow get a ban. Forum does not give users with opposing opinions bans compared to the above 3 but I will give secretprojects a break since its more don't piss of the moderators or admin. Could have neutral opinions but ironically despite having alot of viewing guests does not have enough users for that I suppose?

Sino defense: Pro-China and right wing, pretty open minded place.

defensetalk: Heard its strict, have not been there long enough, so far admins and moderators seem open minded for discussion such as the SAM vs aircraft discussion. Might head back there.

india defense forum: pro-india and pretty laxed on moderation, sometimes visit if feeling bored.

key-aero: neutral opinions like secretprojects, but very laxed on moderation, got turned into a shithole for purchasers only to access forum.

Quora: if your an attention whore.

I would not qualify this forum as right wing. These political categories carry a lot of baggage. This forum is neutral and both left and
right fluff is discounted. That is good, since package deals are a scam.

This forum needs more moderators

I found out that Quora is mostly pro-western if it comes to politics or defense. Everything the west does is super high tech and reliable as opposed to Russian junk. Mostly it's the reply patrons themselves that are biased instead of the moderators.
RDF users themselves need to relax a bit and entertain more balanced views instead of bashing western tech at every turn. Not everything needs to be political.

Can you give an example of this "bashing"?

Criticism based on actual arguments is not bashing. For example, pointing out that the Abrams DU shielding is not superior to reactive armour is not "bashing".

The problem is that full bore "western tech super tech" propaganda shifts an analogue of the Overton window so much that when cold water
is poured on the western propaganda spew it causes cognitive dissonance. This is a real effect of western propaganda. I have posted
a video by a good analyst of Russia-west relations in another thread which shows that he is steered by the background noise towards the
idea that Russia is still sitting on Soviet military equipment and only some small changes have happened over the last 30 years.

Well, an elaborate example should, I believe, off-topic here. What I wanted to say is that there are strong points on both sides and recognition should be due. Russia is a pioneer in many military and space technologies. That doesn't mean that she is good at it now. Same goes for the west.

Take the Ka-50/52 gunship for instance. I am not sure Kamov invented the coaxial rotor design, but they certainly are its pioneers and had almost total monopoly over it. I disliked the high mast design and the gap between the two hubs not just for aesthetic reasons but also because it increases the vulnerability of the craft to adversary fire. But I reasoned that it is a necessary feature to minimize downwash turbulence between the two.

Now Sikorsky comes up with a working design that is compact. I take it as a technology pioneered by Russia but bettered by the west.

Now tell me if a topic about the Raider is raised in this forum (I don't know if it wasn't) that at least most members will be rational about this fact. Granted the helicopter is still in testing and, as usual, cost overruns or overcomplicated tech would not ground it.

Quora gives off a very strong glowie vibe.

I wouldn't be surprised when in the coming years leaked official CIA/NSA/DARPA/whatever agency documents come out stating that Quora is backed and initiated by them as a tool in the information warfare/ data mining sphere

Good tells are usually the prevalence of official narratives, a rather slick and smooth rise to the top, acting in cahoots Big Tech/ Big Bizz (Google search results etc) and heavy moderating/banning

Try talking about anything alternative on Quora, be it alternative medicine, alternative history, the JQ, fractional reserved banking, the globalists or any other hot topic

Some topics are allowed, like Freemasonry, but heavily influenced to get people back on the plantation. I once entered a query about Freemasonry on Quora and now I get, literally every week, mails from them about related queries and how Freemasonry is really just a bunch of old dudes coming together having a good time and maintaining the local hospital

Everything about that site stinks.

I actually voted to remain back in 2016 and wasn't too pleased when we left, but I wasn't massively against it. Over time my attitude became more mild to brexit and the conduct of the Europeans with regard to vaccines confirmed that it was probably for the best and that they are in fact twats. Can't go against Centuries of British and French dislike of each other!

Indeed but with the benefit of hindsight, those retards should know not to take the side of the people responsible for the worst genocide and most destructive conflict in history. Of course some people are brainlets and easily swayed by propaganda.

In reality people don't have choice whether its US or USSR or China or something else unless the choice fits the narrative....there may be period here and there where you get some leader that watches out and believes in their ancestry and respects those who share that land but thats not a given. Dumbs moved from USSR block and worse than USSR which is EU and along with it relinquished rights to their brains.

It's not about where it is now or rather was in 2016, it's about where it's going

The EU is lurching from one crisis to another, the EU leaders even joked that that's all they seem to be there for. And it's not going anywhere good, there will just be a further rise in dissent, internal contradictions and all the rest of it.

Very Sad news. I am not sure we ought to discuss this here. There should be a thread for such topics.

Hackers suspected to work for the Chinese government have used a new malware called PortDoor to infiltrate the systems of Rubin Central Design Bureau that designs submarines for the Russian Navy.

Well you are free to open a thread, I believe this one is more like an 'everything else' thread

Shooter appears to be a former student

Fair enough, no rules on internet and no evidence necessary. Burden is on the owner to protect their info and assets....

In terms of mass murders and serial killers Russia is similar to the USA. Not quite the total number of cases and victims per capita but
the comparison is relevant.

I think this is related to the sink or swim culture. People think that communism was some sort of diaper change operation. No, welfare
bumming was actually a crime in the USSR and if you could, you had to work. The problem of the isolated individual is maybe common
to all countries, but there is a dependence on the collective mentality. Cultures that are more conformist (e.g. Japan) have much less
of such incidents (but not zero). Western myths about Russia try to paint it as some pool of drones without individual identity. That
is BS.

This is something China would do and if it did happen that's a big big deal, as that's attempting or stolen state secrets of the most delicate kind.

We will see if its true, if Russia suddenly does something super heavy against China then we know if not then it's just a BS article. If that was article was true I cannot see Russia letting something like that go.

have you missed reddit sub r/credibledefense? Strongly pro-US/Israel, you won't get banned but Russian hardware is considered crap all across the line-up.

Just an example: https://old.reddit.com/r/CredibleDefense/comments/mzse38/could_us_nato_destroy_russian_air_defense_systems/

Quite normal but I doubt they left any important files accessible from internet. For such hacks you need direct access to computers.

I remeber some years ago one guy was arrested by russia for espionnage for China.

It wouldn't be the first time.

No, you don't need direct access to a PC, granted this would depend on how the Russians set everything up.

Even if they did steal, owner's burden to protect....hard to justify nuking or bombing someone for stuff like this....give and take may occur at best in any proportion based on ones abilities in that domain

Not suggesting Russia would nuke or bomb china over it, just that if the event did occur and sensitive data was lost, I'd expect the russians to inflict something on china over it.

Also if it did happen I'd find that funny, Russia is like the only country who has had china's back and that would be how China repays them?.

Okay, show me proof the US is behind this story.

I am waiting, hard facts not "well I heard this from a guy".
