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.

What cryptofascism? How can your ass fit so many different bullshit talking points for you to pull out? It's like a black hole in there.

Nice ad hominem, asshole. I could sit on my ass all day and would accomplish more organizational activities than you ever will in your lifetime.
Damn he was winning the debate but then you caught him in an Ad Hominem. Minus 50 points to UlyssesT!
You are on this incoherent vendetta yet neither of us ever “glorified depression and suicide”. We merely pointed out that the solutions to widespread depression in a society are systemic solutions, any blame placed on any specific individual is asinine liberal moralism, and in fact deepens alienation and depression - not curing it
debate club nerd detected, ban warranted

Hmm. ASM seems to have gotten banned. Someone should probably look into getting that undone; but I do not know how to appeal to mods.

Why yes, that is indeed the case. What about it? Are you still insisting that your paranoid delusions are reality?

You're going to put me to sleep with this shit. Difference is I'll be getting out of my bed in the morning.
