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.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Last week's discussion post.
Some of the earliest propaganda I saw for this war was that Ukraine has pride parades and Russia does not.
LBGT as a movement is absolutely riddled with Feds, whether you like that idea or not. Same way BLM and similar groups are drained of all revolutionary energy. Feds and Dem ladder-climbers.
If you're pro-LBGT them you hate Iran, Russia, Hamas/Palestine, and China because they're anti-LGBT (please ignore that this lines up exactly with US foreign policy). That's the goal for some of the people in these groups. It's highjacking moralism for imperialism.
This is why all your critiques should always be founded in class, it's impossible or much harder for people in power to use that same message. This is not a call to abandon any LGBT folk, just that you should be aware that pro-LGBT =/= Communism.
