• 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.

    As a western liberal, I would feel so owned if conservatives started heading over to Russia en masse. Just the thought of not being able to convert their children into Satanic, transgender bisexuals and forcing abortions on them makes me want to puke. Please stay, stop, don’t go.

      I get your point, but if anyone goes over there, they’re bringing their underage children, and those children will likely suffer. So, I’d rather them stay and be safe than be right and have them suffer. I don’t wish ill on those hateful people, for the most part, I wish them a clear view of the social, political, and economic landscapes.

      Now, the people who intentionally hatemonger for profit, like Alex Jones, I would not be sad if they met an untimely fate.

        Spoon in underwear at the airport, kids, if you think your parents might be trafficking you to another country and you don’t want to go.

          Ok…I get the spoon would set off the scanner. I get you’d need a strip search…but I’m not getting how having a TSA agent finger your butthole to find a spoon would help.

            Uh, that’s not exactly what happens when the metal detector goes off but it gives you an opportunity to talk with someone without your parents around. TSA isn’t police, but hopefully they can contact police.

            That said, parents do get a pretty strong say in where they take their minor children.

                When did I say anything about a private room? You get a few feet of separation from your parents and a different adult to talk to for a moment. That may be enough of an opportunity.

            They don’t need a strip search to see you have a spoon in your underwear with the scanners they use these days. They can tell what kind of genitals you have in your underwear and which way it’s tucked (at least they are technically capable of showing that, they might have pulled back from that due to the backlash about how much they could see). Spoon in the underwear is a specific signal to let authorities know someone is being trafficked and can apply to sex trafficking or kids being brought to countries where they can be married off into an arranged marriage. Not sure how it would work if the parents want to emigrate to Russia. Also not sure how thoroughly they block the arranged marriage thing if both parents are on board.

        This is also just an attempt to shore up demographics after losing THOUSANDS of men against Ukraine, and a good chunk of Russian nationals simply fleeing the country to avoid conscription. So you don’t get a nice apartment in Moscow or St Petersburg, you get a little hovel out in Siberia and all the farmland you could want.

        Conservatives grew up loving western liberalism and were later told to hate it. Kids brought over there will flip flop and rebel just like their parents did.

    On arrival, you will be provided with a military uniform with minimal bloodstains, a rifle from WW2 that may or may not work, and free transportation to the beautiful Russian countryside of Kursk.

    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.

          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.

        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.

    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.”
