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.

Last week's discussion post.
It is so funny how things like the Patriot act and the Snowden/Prism leaks completely disappeared from the their collective memory, not only they didn't give a shit back then, now they don't even acknowledge it happened.
National intelligence? That is 1984 gomunism something something. Nowadays the fact the CIA is all over social media is just accepted as a matter of fact and even mild distrust of these agencies is relegated to right wing spaces or dismissed as some Russian plot.
And it all happened during the Obama years. As my early early socialist years I still remember caring and being surprised that the west would go down this route. But for quite some time now I just laugh because it is so damn obvious libs do not want to fight these agencies, they want to run these agencies and persecute their enemies with them. All they want is to believe it is their turn on the driving wheel.
And yet here we are it is 2022, literaly nothing was done about this and some piece of shit liberal journalist is still writing some piece about how leader of Bad Communist Country built a "pervasive security apparatus". Go to fucking hell, you are lucky I'm not the one with the pervasive security apparatus ready to jump on your ass lol.
