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.

    Code of conduct says no, but it does say the following:

    Respect that people have differences of opinion and that every leftist has a place in our community. Discussing differences in theory is fine and encouraged, just don't make it personal. Remember: Sectarianism is liberalism.(not relevant to this conversation)

    We will ban you if you insult, demean or harass anyone. That is not welcome behavior. This is distinctly different than ribbing or grilling someone.

    Likewise any spamming, trolling, flaming, baiting or other attention-stealing behavior is not welcome and will be banned.

    We are a platform that welcomes anyone who wants to be here in good faith.

    If you got a bone to pick with someone, try to do it constructively and civilly. This website isn't a political party where's Mao's "Combat Liberalism" is to be applied, it's a forum for socialists to shoot shit and talk.

      Well we shall agree to disagree then, I feel that imperialism narratives and western chauvinism are worse than being rude and bullying. You feel the inverse. One day it’s going to come to a head and you will ban me for being mean.

        I normally like your stuff dude, just stop being a dick. If you can at least agree to take that under advisement we'll call this event settled.

        Also try to limit the commenting multiple replies, I suggest tacking on whatever you wanted to say with an edit of the initial comment. That's just to keep a more coherent and linear flow of conversation going instead of arguing along 5 different threads with the same person over 20 different topics.
