Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
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.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
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.
Remember when we thought deep fakes were going to be used for nefarious political purposes?
Turns out governments will skip the careful manipulation and just say whatever crazy shit they want.
Why would they deep fake when they can just post an ARMA III video?
Yeah they really don't need to cos the whole 'call him a pigfucker' strategy is tried and tested. You literally just need to get your opponent to deny being a pigfucker metaphorically speaking.
You can show using actual proof that the video of you fucking a pig is fake. You can only claim that the rumours of you fucking a pig are fake.
but also Kendrick Lamar will use them to morph into OJ Simpson which is cool
