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.

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

What’s important here is that you only respond to tone like a dog, and that you think anyone pointing out imperialism rudely is an idiot

I’m not omniscient and omnipresent, I can only call out the horseshit I see. I didn’t see that thread.
I hold my point that if the first thing your mind jumps to when you hear the words “Russian Culture” is homophobia, and you have so little faith in the Chinese populace’s revolutionary potential, that you fret over whether the evil Russians are corrupting them, that idea stems from very chauvinist roots.
