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.

If you hear the good news that 2 anti-imperialist nations are becoming more friendly and immediately start fretting about how it’s only because they are reactionary (without and against all evidence), that is a deep seated chauvinistic belief that needs to be rooted out
Sorry I wasn’t polite enough when dealing with imperialist Russophobia that sounds like it’s coming out of the mouth of Hilary Clinton

I’m being appropriately sensitive to disguised liberal imperialist narratives being parroted by “leftists” in the west, famous for being chauvinists

Debatebro is when someone recognizes an imperialist narrative and points it out. The more they do this, the more of a debatebro they are.

Maybe next time they won’t jump immediately to anti-Chinese and anti-Russian condescending chauvinist statements if they remember getting chewed out for it.
This is effectively just tone policing, tone policing on behalf of liberal imperialism. Smh
