There were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
The Country of the Week is Palestine! Feel free to chime in with books, essays, longform articles, even stories and anecdotes or rants. More detail here.
Here is the map of the Ukraine conflict, courtesy of Wikipedia.
The weekly update is here.
Links and Stuff
The bulletins site is down.
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can.
Resources For Understanding The War
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
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.
Pro-Russian
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Last week's discussion post.
Did we talk about this yet?
So they took the prisoners and didn’t pay their end. The US breaching diplomatic agreements like this over and over is going to culminate at some point, every nation outside the west no longer wishes to deal with the US because it lies and breaks its deals
deleted by creator
It’s kind of cringe and cucked that Iran made the deal at all then, and they got extra cucked when US just dangled their stolen money in front of them then scooped it away
Iran, what the fuck are you doing make deals with America? Haven’t you learned?
Perfidious Albion ain't got nothing on us
The eventual result of this is that someone is going to shoot a bunch of prisoners instead of agreeing to an exchange, and Amerikkka will spend decades crying about the poor innocent smol bean diplomats that were only trying to spread freedom and civilization to savages that didn't know better.
"There's still no evidence of that, but we want you to think that there is."
the decision is pretty clearly a result of Israel lobbying the Biden regime, and this recent conflict gave them some leverage
It's money just sitting there, the pirates of the west aren't just going to let free plunder sail away.
Remember when Biden stole Afghanistans sovereign wealth, causing a famine, then gave it to 9/11 families for no explicable reason?
what the actual fuck
Iran should kill the rest in response, this is fucking blatant in their absolute debauchery
Yeah seriously start beheading Americans on TV already
Why would you stoop to the level of your enemy? The Iranian government sucks, but they do believe in Islam and Islamic law has strict guidelines about the treatment and wellbeing of captives.
Yeah okay I went too far.
I just need to have america get consequences for their actions. Do you know how many people can be saved with 6 billion dollars? This action spits in the face of all diplomacy, how do people allow this shit to happen?
I'm tired, comrade
This shit is horrifying. I understand.
Can you take a break for a couple of hours? Go pet a cat? Find a way to spend some face to face time with a friend? Watching this happen is legitimately traumatizing. Please be kind to yourself.
Yes. Iran should be in the cuck rankings for not demanding the money be transferred first. How do the keep fucking falling for this?
Iran denied this claim.
Hadn't seen that when I made a post about it. Any new information?
