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.

Yesterday’s discussion post.
At his morning presser, AMLO announced that he will intercede for Julian Assange in his trip to the White House in July, and played a clip of the video “Collateral Murder,” which shows a US Apache helicopter in Iraq killing 18, including 2 journalists.
The English professor preached to the class “there are 4 types of conflict. Man vs. man, man vs. self, man vs. nature, and man vs. society.”
An older student stood up. “Professor” he interrupted, “you forgot the greatest conflict of all.”
“And what is that?” The professor asked.
“Man vs. wife” :grillman:
Pretty funny how when you bring up the whole thing about NATO agreeing that they wouldn’t go one inch east back in the 1990s and then obviously breaking that promise, people go “Well, Russia should have got it in writing, as a formal treaty!” As if the major export of the West isn’t ripped up treaties. The fucking Iran Deal, anybody?
Minsk II was in writing. Native American treaties are in writing. UN human rights resolutions are in writing.
The west ignored all of it. In fact, I can name the number of treaties the west has honored on one hand. They are perfidious, duplicitous liars
UK: Teachers threaten strike next term as government told to solve profession’s cost of living crisis
:party-sicko:
Strikes are gonna bring the UK to its knees. Summer of discontent.
Right now we’re in the middle of a nationwide rail strike. Largest in 30 years. Teachers strikes to come, energy unions are balloting. All of them are balloting. It’s getting fun.
all we need is some unifying organisation to bring these unions together and co-ordinate their strikes. a trade union congress, as it were.
So you’re saying that workers should form into councils, and then there should be some sort of union of those councils?
