Israel-Palestine Conflict
Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:
UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.
English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.
English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.
Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.
Russia-Ukraine Conflict
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Sources:
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.
https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.
Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:
Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Yeah. Anthropologically...(at least if you read good anthropologists, because there's some real shit there too)...I believe there were and maybe even are still tribes who practice cannibalism in Papua New Guinea, in fact. But it's basically a funeral practice. A number of indigenous tribes around the world symbolically take in their loved ones as a ritual practice, believing their spirits will stay with them, and consume some of their flesh as part of the ritual. It's like the absolute furthest thing from the shit presented in typical Western bogeyman stories about "uncivilized natives" who salivate at the chance to boil you alive. They wouldn't eat you (or Genocide Joe's fascist uncle's grody corpse) if you begged them to, 'cause that's not how it fucking works. It's like believing Christians bury people alive because cemeteries (okay, maybe some fucking Christians...but I think you get what I mean...). And it's really not any crazier than some of the death rituals of a lot of Western religions. Just different.
Also, the hypocrisy of fucking Catholics regularly consuming what they call the body and blood of Christ. LMAO.
The savage pagan has no regard for human life nor the sanctity of the dead. Anyways, let's decorate the interior of this chapel and make an entire chandelier with the bones of the dead.
somebody got tired of hearing those skulls trying to shame them all day and decided to shut them all up
There are stories of people's that eat parts of their enemies, but it's never been observed directly, is almost always told by the enemies and rivals of those tribes, and never consumption of the whole body. Usually it would just be a desecration ritual.
Most of these are adults scaring children, partly for fun and partly because when you can't control what the kids do while out with the other kids a bit of fear might keep them from doing something completely stupid.
the christian Tribe for example practices Cannibalism in a Ritualisitc sense , where they eat their Messiah periodiclly.
