Links and Stuff
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.

And then get your account banned shortly after. :shrug-outta-hecks:
I got banned from worldnews for calling someone a cracker. My proudest ban yet
deleted by creator
It's actually the worst one yet.
That's what people think until someone gets called a Fr*do :anti-italian-action:
I got IP banned from reddit for saying I hope the Canadian sniper guy gets taken out his first day.
I kinda think its better that he ran away like a coward. A "hero" being martyred on the front lines can be good for moral a "hero" running home because he realizes he is on a losing side is horrible for moral.
Gusanos are a protected class on that sub
They'll lift my ban any day now. Ukrop loser should have called it hate speech not threatening violence. The threat claim won't stick where they might have gotten hate. I really should switch to an alt but I feel the risk to getting banned on my regular account gives weight to my argument. Ukrops never risk a real account because they always end up mask off, frothing, screaming "Orcs!"
hey me too!
