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.
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.
Reminds me of those lists of conspiracies put out by the media occasionally that mix in things that are obviously bogus with things that are like, either the argument is purposefully made absurd to deflect further criticism (GMOs probably don't cause turbocancer or anything but Monsanto is a piece of shit company; 9/11 wasn't caused by Bush but there may have been some kind of advanced knowledge, and regardless, they then specifically didn't go after the Saudis afterwards and instead invaded a country which had nothing to do with it), or the story given to us is almost certainly false (Epstein killed himself, JFK was killed by a lone gunman and nothing else)
Yeah the conspiracy op has been around and is a frustratingly effective tactic which I'm sure most of us have fallen for at times... pizzagate: :epstein: gay frogs:alex-no-supplements: :actual environmental destruction, climate change in the 80's and 90's being portrayed as crazy fringe conspiracy, like oh you think tHe GoveRnManT is spying on us I bet you also talk to aliens in your faraday cage lol
I used to have friends who would mock me "the government maaaaan, the corporations maaaaaan"
