Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
It's not even so much that; the article is basically just like "Long term growth is actually linear and not exponential, which is why economists keep predicting new waves of advancement or whatever which never come, or come much later than predicted". This only surprises morons who are conditioned to think that the economy and The Line, aside from the boom-bust cycles, must be getting bigger and higher, faster, all the time, which is physically impossible in a capitalist economy with finite resources - that is, it surprises non-Marxist economists. To say nothing of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall.
Do the capitalists know what the secret comrades at the Economist are publishing with their money?
The Economist: Yeah I study theory. :marx:
