- Putin has signed a decree that Russia will welcome foreigners who want to escape Western liberal ideals.
- Applicants may include those from countries unaligned with “Russian spiritual and moral values.”
- The application process has been simplified, and visas will be issued as soon as next month.
Shhh
Don’t tell anyone lol. Let them go and pikachu face.
Oh no! Putin please do not take homophobes away from my country, oh no…
I would be so mad if suddenly homophobes went to Russia. They would really own me if they all decided to go to Putinland.
“Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”Russia: “Give me your bigots, your religious fundamentalists / Your brainwashed masses yearning to hate free”
It would be an even bigger shame if they all got drafted when they got there and sent to the front lines. That would be so sad :(
You can have 'em!
The reality is Putin is attempting two genocides, one in Ukraine and one in Russia. He has purged undesireables from liberals and independent media to the LGBTQ+ community, ethnic minorities, political opposition, boisterous oligarchs, prisoners, and so forth… He and his Rasputin, Aleksandr Dugin, believe they can create a stronger Russia by making it a more pure one. But good luck with that lol.
Putin be like, “Watch me speed-run becoming North Korea, stuck in the past and global pariah.”
One only needs to prove their worth through an indeterminate amount of non-optional military service time.
Its almost as if they are having a demographic crysis
ALL MAGA. TAKE THEM ALL. JUST A CONVEYOR BELT FEED SYSTEM ACROSS THE OCEAN.
I would donate a hundred bucks to a fund that offered free transport to any repugnicunt that couldn’t afford to go but wanted.
Wow, it’s like a purification plant, but for people.
That would be a sideways move.
Changing from one oligarchy to another oligarchy.
Well, if you become a whistleblower or if you are a journalist that the west wants to arrest, or get rid of, that might be your best bet.
Edward Snowden is alive and kicking.
Edward Snowden is alive and kicking.
Alexei Navalny isn’t. I wonder what the difference could be?
Chelsea Manning isn’t even in prison anymore.

That’s a different issue. The point was if she had done it in Russia, not only would she not have been allowed to transition, she’d be dead.

That is why Chelsea Manning was brought up. Because if she had done what she did in Russia, she would have been murdered by the state for doing it.
I wonder what the difference could be?
Actually, it’s pretty simple. Edward Snowden exposed government surveillance and ran away, seeking asylum to protect himself after revealing what he believed was in the public’s interest. Navalny, on the other hand, wasn’t motivated by public interest—he actively betrayed his country, aligning with foreign interests and openly opposing the government. Unlike Snowden, who wisely fled, Navalny stayed behind like an imbecile. And guess what happens to traitors in Russia? It’s not like in the US, where all that matters is money, fast food, and the latest social media trends—Russia doesn’t mess around when it comes to nationalism.
Snowden never wanted to be in Russia. He was trapped there inadvertently by diplomats.
I dunno, seems like there’s a significantly higher chance of falling from a window and dying in Russia
As an American, I know about our regime-change wars and about our military leaks, including some of our real civilian causalities in our forever wars.
Not to mention our civil rights activists keep dying, as well as other information about the three letter agencies.
I try to avoid races to the bottom, especially when comparing citizen deaths in the US and Russia.
It will not make any nation more popular.
As an American
[X] Doubt
No Doubt is a great band.
As an American
I add that due to encounters with non-Americans.
We are strangers on the internet; feel free to think what you will, I will not try to force it on you, hahaha.
this is just rebranding oligarchy in a way thats palatable to religious whackjobs, like US conservatives.
rebranding oligarchy
How? The billionaires and corporations own the most important resources while having great influence over our elections and politicians.
We are only a republic or a “democracy” in our dreams, but in reality, we are also already a fascist country with our police state.
Not to mention the Patriot Act and the many more policies that follow.
The USA PATRIOT Act was a landmark Act of the United States Congress, signed into law by President George W. Bush.
nothing youve said here negates my point. these kinds of messages arent meant for people paying attention.
im not disagreeing with you. rebranding is all about optics, and attempting to change peoples view of something… often a terrible thing.
Interesting! Thanks for expanding on your thoughts a bit!
If Russian moral values didn’t include brutal militaristic expansionism, this might be not a bad idea.
I think this is an invite for all magas.
One can only hope
Ok ok, just imagine that, Trump loses, moves to Russia and then since Putin has no use for him anymore he sends him to the front line!
Let’s see his bone spurs get him out of that one
Nah, Trump is incredibly useful as a mouthpiece even if he loses, he’s got MILLIONS of people who hang on his every word, globally now. They’ll do him like they did Assange and simply trot him out whenever they need to justify something, have him rant and rave about “the decadent liberal west”, and when he’s no longer useful, they’ll find a nice pool for him to drown in or something.

I don’t expect people who take him up on that will enjoy it if coming from America. Just a guess.
If they’re going to treat anyone nicely it’ll be the first wave of people to sign up for this amazing plan, so as to encourage others to follow. Go sign up right now, haters of Western Liberal Ideals!
The people of Bucha got a taste of the “Russian spiritual and moral values” and we will not forget!
russia is not conservative at all, but it is a fascist police state without 1st, 2nd, in fact all amendments I’ve checked up to the 10th, so they’re going to love it, I guess.
Shhh, They THINK Putin’s Russia is a conservative utopia so don’t crush their dreams.
But they have bread…and shopping carts!
Not just bread, fresh bread! In many varieties! Something you would never see in one of those filthy American supermarkets with their shelves stocked with nothing but stale loaves of Wonder Bread.
Ok, ok, bread culture is generally better in most of Europe.
Sandwich loaves didn’t even cross my mind :/
All I know is I would never pick up and sniff a flithy American loaf of bread.
Well, most countries aren’t going to have the same constitutional rights as the USA has. In the same way, the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive. As such, I’m not sure if there’s too much point comparing the two.
Otherwise. Yes, it’s not going to be a nice place to live, and anyone that chooses this option has only themselves to blame when they realise they made a deal with the leopard that has a history of biting faces off.
…it didn’t occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!
Sometimes clickbait is so bad that it’s good again
Arend also highlighted the former Soviet Union’s perceived “strength” to “stand up against Western pressures” and its ability to shield their family from ideologies they found objectionable.
“Other countries are under the Western influence and wouldn’t be able to stand up against it,” he claimed.
“Western chauvinist” to “eastern chauvinist” speed run any%
I’m not sure if that story is onionesque or real. Now, that uncertaintly is a problem with the modern world.
Ok those people are dumb. But is the Russian government really hard up enough to steal the value of a Canadian farm from some yokels? Or more likely it’s some lower level corrupt officials. Come for the conservative ideals, stay for the corruption and scams.
LOL
_Arend also defended their portrayal of Russia as a country with a free press, prompting challenges from viewers to critique Russian leadership and ongoing conflicts. _
My comment was about the irony them “escaping” to have freedom of speech, gun freedom and trial by jury of their peers to a country that has none of those, not being a bad place to live. It’s not about “other countries”. Other countries can do whatever they want.
(yea, I think I commented in the wrong thread, this was meant to go on the other one where magats ponder moving to russia)
Yeah, my point is, comparing them to constitutional amendments doesn’t make too much sense for the rest of us.
But you know, I think they do have trial by jury. Just, I think like the elections there, the jury gets told the result, before they decide it.
If they want to own guns, no problem. The government will supply them, and even provide transportation to a place they can use them. (I hope the /s is implied here).
the US doesn’t give their citizens the same rights as those in other countries receive.
The U.S. doesn’t give their citizens the same rights that the U.S. constitution has.
You mean the same rights guaranteed by the constitution? Or you mean the rights of the document itself? Like no flash photography or stored in a climate controlled box or something like that?
Yeah, I meant “guaranteed”
Their Facebook feeds will be absolutely hilarious.
“They aren’t respecting my second amendment rights!!” As they live in a completely different country…
