Independent News
Welcome to the community for independent journalism, a place to post and engage with diverse, free news media from around the world.
The rundown:
-
Posts should link to a current* article from a credible, English, independent news source. If there's a paywall, please put the official link in the URL box and add an archive link in the text body of your post. Blogs, editorials, listicles and reports are welcome.
-
Post title should be the article headline or best fit. Add this tag if an account is needed for access: [sign-in required.]
-
No misinformation. Provide sources when making substantial or potentially destructive claims.
-
Be civil. Be respectful. Be cool. Instance rules apply.
-
Comments or sources that call into question the validity of trans identities will be removed.
-
Abortion and contraceptive access are considered human rights in this community. Sources that disagree may be removed.
- Tag NSFW and apply content warnings at your discretion.
*Independent journalism is generally free from government and corporate interests and is not controlled by a major media conglomerate. "Independence" is a gradient, so use your best judgement when posting.
*Current depends on whether new, publicly available information has been released since the article has last been updated. When in doubt please add the published date to the title in a tag [like this.]

I know this is an unpopular opinion and I'm not defending Russia, but doesn't western countries do that too, only more subtlety?
There's plenty of video games in that genre in the west too. I have a few co-workers playing war video games that at some point told me they would go defend the west against those barbarian in the desert and kill some terrorists.
Doesn't the US army has its own video games too? Doesn't the US army also lurk in the gaming world to recruit gamers?
They're not debating who's worse, they're saying games are being used to recruit kids. How you feel about that is up to you.
