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.

    I took a class on German history and culture back in college, and this was something the professor really hammered on. A large part of the class focused on art movements from the 60s-80s where particularly West Germans were growing up and learning that their parents and their parents' friends were all nazis, and they all got away with it.

    Instead of using that anger and guilt to organize and maybe doing something about that, we got art.

      Art is part of organizing. You wouldn't want Andy Worhol organizing when he would be a far better propagandists for the movement. And an actual left wing movement needs all types of people. It needs accountants and janitors and cooks not just soldiers and general.

      "Pitch in however you can" is the slogan of an organizer. I don't organize but I don't a few thousand a year to lefty groups. They need money, they need resources, and they need physical help in equal measures.
