- 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.
Tsa don’t take minors into a private room away from their parents
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.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
You just have to spend some time on a gov. funded PR trip in the Donestk region.
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.
Yes, but that kind of rebellion is even more dangerous there.
I’m reminded of Obama winning the 2012 election and a bunch of troll conservatives bombarding the “We The People” petition website with requests to secede from the country
I would cry rivers of proverbial progressive tears if every single repugnicunt took pooty poot up on his offer.
Huh, is the meat grinder not getting enough?
Probably also a massive brain drain to boot.
Yeah, I don’t think this will help very much with that particular issue…
I don’t know. Maybe they need more cryptocurrency experts and sovcit hedge-lawyers to help with getting around sanctions
Maybe they need more cryptocurrency experts and sovcit hedge-lawyers
They can have them.
Preferably before November.
What are you on about? This migration will cause the IQ in Russia and the originating country to go up.
/s
I have bad news for them if they think accepting people running from “Western liberal ideals” is going to help with that somehow.
Probably. “Come to Russia! Is safe place! Is not place with liberals! What? No, we don’t need bodies for military! No conscription of foreigners here!”
Fast and easy to get citizenship!

Odd thing is, he might not be far off. He could try to sell some incels on hot single Russian women whose men have all died in 60 year old tanks. Also maybe some gravy seals might be willing to sign up. Maybe when Trump loses he’ll move there followed by some of his MAGA cult, and they’ll be this English speaking enclave in Russia somewhere. Could be the premise for a sci-fi tv show.
I mean, most of them want a strong man dictator type anyway!
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.
And if you don’t like Kursk there are free accommodations at the Gulags.
Wouldn’t this be the equivalent to like…
About to be a bunch of confused conservatives showing up in Kursk with a few bullets and no training?
Who quickly realise that hunting deer isn’t a proper way to prepare for modern combat.
My deer shoot back, don’t yours?
And who have just relocated their best hostages to within Putin’s power. Yes, bring your nine children and wife along to Russia–now stay in rank on the front line, or maybe your oldest gets to come serve in your place (earlier than they would have anyway)!
One extra vote per child!

Dang, that reads like a commercial for pharmaceuticals.
Ask your propagandist if Copium is for you…
Sounds like Russia is running low on cannon fodder
Let’s use trump’s plane to start the maga transfer to Russia.
If he doesn’t win in November, he’ll probably arrange that himself.
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.
I’ll buy them plane tickets if they need help getting the hell out of my country
Would be great if some of them ended up in the Russian Gulag
They’re going to end up on the front lines
At first I was going to say “сука бля, nyet, we have enough shitheads already”. But then I realized that they would honestly just fit right in. So you have yourself a deal… as long as you could also find a safe place for Snowden - the dude does not deserve to be in this hellhole.
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.
Their Facebook feeds will be absolutely hilarious.
“They aren’t respecting my second amendment rights!!” As they live in a completely different country…
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.
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%
…it didn’t occur to them to even start learning Russian before they went?!
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.
I’m not sure if that story is onionesque or real. Now, that uncertaintly is a problem with the modern world.
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)
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”
In other words…“We’re running out of cannon fodder”
I’m guessing it’s more of a propaganda thing. I’d be shocked if he’s hoping to net enough people for significant extra “мясо пушки”, given that this sounds like it only applies to Western countries.
Agreed, but I think it’s more than that
I don’t think he’s offering them plane tickets. That means they have enough wealth to move there - it would instantly be a shot in the arm for the Russian economy. They’d get a captive market, and he’s not even inviting them to be Russian
That selector also means they’re more likely to have useful skills, and the messaging is targeting people very susceptible to Russia style propaganda - he could censor their connection to the outside world, and they’d thank him for it
Also, if NATO arms hit American civilians, that would be a powerful message to reduce international support for Ukraine or NATO.
They’re too valuable. They’d pay off for him immediately, and long term he’d have an isolated community that is just begging to chug the Kool aid
Took way too long in this thread to come to the real reason. They will become food for the war machine. Troops like that have a horrid survival rate.
I will fund to my best any repugnicunt that wants to go but can’t afford it.
This feels like a win for everyone.
Bad for Ukraine; they could run out of drones.
Ask the Freestra family, who left Canada to escape its wokism, how’s the move working out? https://nemoskva.net/en/2024/02/09/eto-bylo-ochen-glupo-seme-kanadczev-pereehavshih-v-nizhegorodskuyu-oblast-zablokirovali-scheta/
“It was very stupid”, haha love how that starts.

They made the same offer to men from Nepal…many relocated to Russia
So far 10 are dead and hundreds missing
So hundreds are dead
You never know, some may have safely defected to Ukraine.
This would be the most circuitous immigration route they could take to get to Europe… go to russia, head to front lines (and survive), surrender, become a POW, claim refugee status (and avoid being deported), land in a western country and start from scratch.
I was thinking just because they realized if they didn’t defect, they’d be killed, not to get to Europe.
Sounds like a modern Don Quixote (though I imagine in their minds it’s more like The Odyssey).
The great thing for Russia is that they know their target demographic will never see that news!
