Blasto, I'll go through them, thanms for being the only one to ever give a source.
At an initial read, some look troublesome (damn liberal russian affiliated outlets!) And let's not forget the racism in russia, you know 'the same people'. That is just a distraction, and you know it.
This seems like a sarcastic post one of us would make.
Are you seriously proposing that these Western sources are Russian-affiliated just because they disagree with the current narrative? Believe it or not, not everyone that disagrees with you is a foreign agent, and some people that agree with you are US government and allied agents.
Don't forget the brilliant "New Orc Times" thing liberals started doing when their own beloved sources started to turn around. Ah, emotionally investing in ideas never ceases to amaze...
Wasn't it "the West" who came up with the idea of "Asiatic hordes" (which is repurposed Nazi propaganda btw), "orcs" and "untermenschen"? Wasn't it "the West" who spread the narrative of "relatively European, relatively civilized", temporary "white" Ukrainians when it was convenient for them? I don't think you understand what racism is and where it came from.
Historically, racism and "races" were Western European inventions that served the purpose of justifying hereditary slavery and colonialism. Here's an interesting thing - it never went away. One look at Gaza, Palestine or the Arab world in general should tell you as much.
Racism is also believing western "sources" are inherently, magically more trustworthy than any Russian outlets without doing any outside material analysis of the actual details of history. We do not trust either side, we don't have to - we analyze the information through a materialist ideological lens.
