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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

    Hmm I wonder why the post got locked when majority of the comments are calling out the Nazis https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/vdsnhk/anyone_have_any_idea_where_the_top_flag_is_from/

      Mod-tagged comment (stay with it to the end; you won't be disappointed!):

      Posts with an obvious agenda (in the image or in the comments) will get removed, although admittedly we don't always get to them fast enough. You can help us out the most by reporting - comments about it are much less likely to be seen as we can't trawl through every comment section.

      In this case, I can't see any reason from OPs post or conduct to remove it. The fact is a post can be of a fascist flag (or anything else you disagree with) and not necessarily have an agenda, and as this is a neutral flag subreddit we allow all flags. Personally, I'm much more concerned about what goes on in the comments than about whatever the poster's motive is. It's an uphill battle to remind people that we're here to discuss flags, not debate ideology like you can do on any one of hundreds of other subreddits.

      We're just posting apolitical Nazism here, boys! :centrist:

        His flair says socialism and his bio reads “a better word is possible.” Are these people real or are they Vaush-tier ops? I don’t get it, so many online self described socialists and anarchists are natoids. People don’t know what words mean? The delusion knows no bounds I guess.

      Natoids mad. “Stop reminding me the people I support are bad!!!”
