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.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Yesterday's discussion post.
They don't learn history outside of vaguely knowing about "napoleon complex" and that he lost at waterloo.
It’s funny because Napoleon is a Liberal hero. A European Great Man of Enlightenment who smashed apart the decaying old monarchies and feudal remnants, forcefully sweeping them aside to make room for the emerging bourgeois class and industrializing.
He was a progressive force historically, although with very obvious problems and bourgeois brain worms
You see, the real secret is that all contemporary liberals are crypto-feudalists who fight to sustain their aristocracy against any attempt to sweep them aside like rotten old growth, so any revolutionary figure - regardless of the class they represent - are figures they wish to suppress their historical revolutionary nature.
From Franklin to Lenin, anyone that caused change to the status quo is 'problematic'
This was me channeling my inner BMF, please leave a rating on my performance.
Actually I think u are completely correct. Liberalism has rotted from the head, become a reactionary force instead of a progressive one as it aged past its purpose. Adam Smith talking about obsolete rentier classes like landlords with disdain no longer jives with their sensibilities. Adam Smith might as well be a communist now with how distant they have grown from him.
