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.
Yesterday’s discussion post.
Murderous rage against the fucking succdem worms who are now accusing Swedish leftists of “spreading Erdogans propaganda” by implying that he objectively has influence and power over Swedish politics due to us being reliant on his vote for our undemocratic entry into NATO. “Oh Erdogan can’t force us to do anything so its dishonest to imply that we will be forced to do something like crack down on Kurds”. Fuck off.
Also these fucking worms are now saying shit like, “oh this isnt an undemocratic flip of policy from the past social democratic party congress, because inbetween party congresses the party leadership are in command”, so what the fuck does a congress mean, just broadly establishing a preferred direction that you fucking shitheads can choose to ignore then? How do you fucking have the stomach to imply thats in any way a democratic system, social fascist scum.
If the situation is of such immediacy that you have to circumvent literally every single democratic avenue for influencing the decision, from internal party congresses and votes, to a general referendum, to even rushing this past mere months before a general election(Particularly when in the general election that got you fucks elected last time, you opposed all suggestion of NATO membership), fucking demonstrate it, but no, it involves matters of state secrets so you get to just handwave this through while smearing other countries as undemocratic.
Edit: WOW WHAT A SURPRISE, specific Kurds have been named in demands to extradite them, several who have alleged that Turkey has tortured them in the past and almost certainly they will be tortured if extradited, yet all the twitter socdems are saying is “He’s just bluffing we’re negotiating with him behind the scenes”.
Westoids are being told no. By a non-white country. They’re not used to this at all and it makes their brains short-circuit.
They want to join a pact with the devil and then complain that the devil is making them do bad things.
Maybe don’t join NATO if you don’t want to be forced into alliance with evil terrorist supporting dictators like Erdogan?
Im eagerly anticipating the article about how its conspiratorial to question if Sweden will be on the hook for supporting nations and militaries that we fundamentally disagree with(or are supposed to at least).
But I mean its not like we havent been training Azovs or sending troops into every imperialist war as “peacekeepers” for decades, so the principle of the matter is moot already, its just a concern over scale.
Western framing of the Azovstal surrender as an ‘evacuation’ or a ‘retreat’ is incredible. From the fact that they’re all using exactly the same language, I assume they’re just writing exactly what the Ukrainian government has told them?
According to the recent radio war nerd episode with a western journalist just back from Ukraine, the UKR military basically prohibits journalists from any access to the front lines, active duty troops, hospitals, etc. They set up a ministry of information or something in what used to be a brewery and all the western journos just hang out there on nice couches and do stenography.
i’d say they’ve handled the information war excellently, but then again it’s probably really easy to do that when all western journalists want to do is write adulatory puff pieces and stoke naziesque fears of asiatic hordes lmao
Yeah I see these takes about Zelensky being super good at media but it doesn’t seem that way to me, it just seems like the western journalist is selected by their willingness to believe in a narrative. Hard to fuck up asking for more missiles when there’s a legion of english major nerds falling all over themselves to write hagiographies about you.
There is no denying that the Ukrainian propaganda effort is working excellently for them. It wouldn’t work for Russia though, even if they had the same skills and audacity.
Telling people what they want to hear gas always been orders of magnitude easier than telling them something they hate to hear.
A Danish MSM outlet has a headline that claims that “their mission is completed”. You have to read the article in order to figure out that they are not in Ukrainian-controlled territory and nowhere does it mention that the Azov Nazis are essentially POW’s.
Worse than POWs, the Russian state duma just passed a bill forbidding trading of Nazi prisoners. POW can normally hope for exchange, Azov will rot in Russian prisons forever
I can’t wait for the public trials to start. Nazis will be facing consequences and westoids will be seething and crying about how unfair it is
Ukraine official compares soldiers in Mariupol to Spartan warriors in ‘300’ for holding back Russia for 83 days while massively outnumbered. Holy shit, Business Insider is dying of a fucking copium overdose. Anybody here a doctor?
If Azov are “heroes” for holding back a mere 2 1/2 months then what about everyone else on this list?
The ISIS fighters that lasted 9 months in Mosul against the Iraq and allies must all be demigods or something. Nevermind all the WW1-2 sieges those wars must have been fought by literal gods then I imagine. Fucking idiotic pandering shit is not just disgusting on an ideological basis but this is shit you write to convince a child or a 75yo boomer that thinks history started in 2018.
Reading this nonsense is an intellectual assault and that is before we talk about ideology even.
Mariupol only “lasted” for so long because Russia “wasted” a lot of time setting up humanitarian corridors in March during negotiations I think they did 3 or 4 of those. And then they gave the Azov ultimatums and that was another 2 or 3 cease fires.
But militarily speaking the town was encircled around week 2-3 and by mid April they already captured most of the city. Patric Lancaster already made videos about reconstruction efforts and the city going back to normal weeks ago by now.
Critical Support for Business Insider in their devaluing of other fascist “heroic stands”, considering how much fascists love spartans and their stupid shit. I say let all those journalists mine the past dry to drape some glory over other fascists let all that spartan and viking and samurai stuff become plastic.
From Telegram:
🇪🇪🇷🇺️Estonian President Alar Karris admitted that “it is impossible to isolate Russia.”
He made such a statement in an interview with the American edition of Newsweek.
“We must look for ways to communicate with Russia in other ways and conduct some kind of business with Russia,” the president added.
By the way, back in March, the President of Estonia called for “driving Russia into a corner.” The result is clear.
Not so long ago, the Estonian Statistics Department admitted that inflation has accelerated to 18.8% per annum in recent years.
European elites were high on pure ideology but now they seem to be waking up to one hell of a hangover. Is it beginning to dawn on them that the yanks have left them holding the bag?
Europeans just now realizing that the Americans engineered this whole scenario to slurp them up
Europeans just now realizing that the Americans are turning them into slurp juice.
