As many as 1,500 “ideological immigrants,” including 127 Americans, have applied for temporary residence in Russia in the last year.
Two years ago, Derek and DeAnna Huffman were desperate to leave Humble, a suburb of Houston. Their three daughters, they believed, were being brainwashed by public school and mainstream media to support LGBTQ rights. American culture in general no longer offered white people the same opportunities as other races, they said.
The couple yearned to live in a place that shared their “Christian values” and where they “weren’t going to be discriminated against” as white, politically-conservative Christians.
So in March, the Huffmans became the first family to move to a community planned for fellow English-speakers some 30 miles west of Moscow, a project they had been following online run by long-term American expat and former Kremlin-sponsored RT host Tim Kirby. The family is among a small but growing number of Americans who have moved to Russia because the United States, in their opinion, has become too “woke."
is liberal culture really a threat to anybody? like seriously how
I’m in the socialist hellhole Canada and my day is spent chasing away genderfluid canvassers trying to convert me and my kids to they/them and then when my kids get to school they’re forced to have group sex led by cross dressers!
/s and really sad the state of the world I have to put that
MAH KRISSHAN VALUWS!!!
The trash takes out itself, a self cleaning oven, survival of the fittest brains :D Fantastic to see it live in action
Next Up: 2026; American Tankie simps for CCP, moves to PRC and get drafted into PLA to invade Taiwan
The leopards have a feast tonight.
Oh boy everybody, he used AI, lets all get irrationally angry over a meme!
Yeah I think this is an OK usage for AI. Just illustrates a meme that normally exists in verbal form. This isn’t replacing an artist or anything. It’s good for a quick chuckle.
It’s pretty clear, that collectively, we don’t like AI. Getting down voted for violating a well established social norm seems pretty tame as far as consequences go.
I like to load up their channel and call them traitors and talk about drone strikes.
Feenstra family much?
The tard was lied into joining the military. Where bro has no understanding of the language. I’m surprised he isn’t dead yet.
Good. Bye Felicia. It’s going to be funny when they realize Russia isn’t all white.
It’s funny how often I see a headline like this, then think to myself “now, now, let’s be reasonable and give them the benefit of the doubt because crazy situations happen every day…”
aside: You see, growing up in white conservative christian america, my brain has this old deep conditioning to see people who are different looking or who have different priorities in life than me and think of how stupid/worthless that makes them. I have those neural pathways pretty safely contained, but it’s important to do maintenance.
Anyways, I often think to myself oh hey they aren’t just mind numbingly stupid and surely there’s something else going on. Then I read the details and it’s like every sentence pushes my face closer to my silly optimistic assumptions bellowing “search your feelings, you know it to be true” like some really heavy-handed metaphor about feeling the call of the dark side.
Nah, I guess I do know how stupid they are. But their stupidity isn’t gonna frustrate me into being like them again.
Deep take. Thanks for sharing.
Congratulations, you guys got the illiberal society you dreamed of. Enjoy.
Poor kids, though.
lmfao what is this. i want to know what harm LGBTQ people cause day to day that they were scared and had to leave.
It caused so much trauma that they had to flee their country!
You, maybe or maybe not doing something that you may not talk about, hurt them so badly they gave up their family, life, work, friends, everything to get away from what you might do even if you don’t talk about it.
Welcome to fascism, the next stages get bumpy.
the man who did this, and for his wife to just be ok with it, means they both have batshit insane views of the LGBTQ community. its like when i see the people complain about drag storytime and think they are pedophiles. im sorry but i don’t see the connection. a man, dressed up as a women becuase he feels more comfortable dressing as a women, is somehow a pedophile. i think i missed the nexus event where pedophilia and drag became the same thing, but you know, i dont watch enough fox news or turning point media to get the “truth”
Projection. The answer is always projection.
The amount of idiocy demonstrated by the adults in that article is fucking mind-boggling.
One family moved to Russia with only $50K to their name, for their family of 5, and didn’t research the public education requirements for their sons ahead of time.
It tracks that people this fucking stupid would have this level of hate for “non-traditional” relationships.
No way Russia is so uncivilized they don’t speak English, right?
I guess that was their thought process, if there was any at all
Hey, straight up: good fucking riddance. We’ve got enough problems with malignantly idiotic conservatives and racists and fascists. I won’t shed a single tear if they want to move to a (more) authoritarian country.
Aren’t these the kind of people who’d get mad at immigrants in the US if they don’t speak English? Why don’t they learn proper Russian and integrate?
Because it wasn’t ever actually about that, of course.
Cause Jesus spoke English, duh.
/s
Love that for them!
