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.
We won’t invest in green energy, or safer crop farming with reduced fertilizers, or carbon negative buildings. We will however blow up close to a trillion over ukraine right to join nato. :meow-tableflip:

Agroforestry and other forms of regenerative permaculture farming could solve all of humanity's problems if capitalism wasn't getting in the way
Got any agroforestry slop for us hogs?
This channel is good too: https://youtu.be/fLPE5--yFE0
I found this, seems great so far: https://www.southernminn.com/northfield_news/news/salvatierra-farm-works-to-be-a-model-for-agroforestry-and-regenerative-agriculture/article_efe27d80-e2ae-11ec-8865-b3561fef9677.html
@buildsoil on Twitter posts tons of shit about this, their main thing is chestnuts (which you gotta watch out cause Monsanto is into GM chestnuts. While I’m sure buildsoil isn’t in this circle, I had to make sure lol
And the fact that you would need a ton more farms and manual labor.
I'm kinda odd the kind that we should be growing as much as possible on as small of a foot print as possible. Agroforestry imo let's let forests be forests
Idk old growth forests are very self-sustaining. If we have a way to feed ourselves while preserving their natural ability to self-conserve I don’t see why not. I know, I know….lots of big IFs there. At the end of the day, we have to harvest resources in a sustainable way if we are to preserve any semblance of a society past hunter-gatherer. I personally dislike cities, but urbanism is popular here so on top of that mineral extraction is necessary as well. It’s all about being perpetually sustainable by not taking more than can be regenerated. Honestly the metal and minerals necessary for dense population centers is going to require asteroid mining or star trek style energy to matter conversion. Idk, drunk and musing
Edit before anyone gets pissy: suburbs are worse in every way than anything else. Don’t think my dislike for cities means I like suburbs. The H in HOA stands for hell.
