Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
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.

Last week's discussion post.
I want to sympathize with the protestors in Iran but Reddit has already started to act as though the exiled shah will lead the next regime.
Ukraine claims genocide in Izyum and then denies Amnesty International an entry to independently verify these claims.
IPEC | 1st round Valid votes
Lula: 52% (+1)
Bolsonaro: 34 (-1)
Ciro: 7% (+1)
Tebet: 5% (+1)
Soraya: 1% (=)
In one week, Lula grew 1% and consolidated the possibility of winning in the first round. Bolsonaro lost 1%
Sometimes I wish China would do a little trolling and demand unrestrained access to US territories so they can investigate suspected crimes against humanity.
"For the first time in history an entire country's culture has now been cancelled, by a very modern weapon: cancel culture."
lmao RT brainworms
In light of what looks like a colour revolution in Iran and the Russian troop mobilisation, the r/completeanarchy subreddit on :reddit-logo: has decided to go unironically post left. Like having post left "theory" pinned to the top of the subreddit.
Biggest bunch of :fedposting::cia: losers you've ever seen, I remember when they supported the Bolivian colour revolution.
Speech is cancelled permanently, CPRF coup'd Putin like they should have done Gorbachev, Russia is now a Soviet Socialist Republic again, the RSSR has formed a new international union with China, Cuba, Laos, Viet Nam, and the DPRK, the US stock market has collapsed under the news and Bernie is running again to rule over the ashes.
If Iran got rid of the mandatory Hijab, I genuinely wonder how many westerners would stop caring about regime change in Iran?
Edit: Also yeah ACAB applies to Iran's morality police as well
A few years ago the german Green Party was saying people who wave the german flag during football games are right wing nationalists.
Now they are among the most nationalist party we have, gleefully dealing out collective punishment towards Russians, accusing anyone who strays from NATO doctrine of being a Putin puppet and saying people who heat their homes too much this winter are traitors complicit in Putins ‘genocide’.
I don’t have a point here I just think it’s fascinating. Can’t think of a better example of the ‘scratch a liberal’ thing. They’re one successful Russian offensive away from calling for an new Operation Barbarossa.
The Reddit mods locked another anti Turkey thread lmao. Incredible.
If Ukraine wasn't a former Soviet country coasting on Soviet infrastructure, stockpiles, and equipment this war would be over by now
Lmfao Mick Lynch apparently said "Never trust a Trot, never trust an ex Trot even more" earlier today in an interview.
Marching orders from the boss: No Trots. :pika-pickaxe:
EDIT: Oh I definitely put this in the wrong thread lol. Oh well.
Was wondering what the deal was with the blatant clickbait propaganda articles from Newsweek on :reddit-logo: , so I did a little research.
Apparently Newsweek and International Business Times were involved with some secretive Christian cult called "the Community" that did money laundering and brought people from China to work as slaves churning out clickbait articles.
This is some Falun Gong Epoch Times shit. Gotta wonder if the CIA is involved.
