- 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.
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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?
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%
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).
Shhh, They THINK Putin’s Russia is a conservative utopia so don’t crush their dreams.
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.
Yes, please take them all.
