Russian President Vladimir Putin has seemingly invited conservatives chafing under "neoliberal ideals" in their home countries to move to Russia, where he claimed "traditional values reign supreme," and Alex Jones suggested he might take him up on the offer.The Russian president signed a decree offe...

      It’s Russia, the whole idea of a howto guide to dealing with bureaucracy that works is, ahem, contradictory to its essence.

      Most of them are going to give up before getting here. Sadly. It would be interesting to watch.

    Hey, if you and your buddies wanna go, Alex, knock yourselves out. Seriously: get the fuck out of here, because the vast majority of us hate you for being one of the worst calibers of human.

          Funny thing is, often those kind of “based” countries also have their own version of DEI. Hungary still offers companies a tax writeoff if they’re employing disabled people, and disabled people also entitled to extra paid leaves and tax writeoff. The catch? The workplaces often have to make their jobs “disabled friendly”, which often can be just “not having to count”, due to ableist jokes of the past. Also getting tested for disability is really hard and humiliating experience, amputees are being strip searched every few years for hidden limbs (and originally everyone got that treatment to “repeal those who don’t need it”), autistic adults are getting the same questionnaires as children (because "real autistic people are low-functioning), etc. But at least we no longer have “mafia-types” (Roma) buying Mercedeses and BMWs from welfare money that was supposed to go to the “real disabled”, as far-right “news” portals like kuruc info, barikád, and bombagyár reported back in the days.

      Just a moment now - before he’s allowed to go let’s make sure we get all his money into the hands of gun violence survivors.

    … Wasn’t there a story a few months ago about a family that had done exactly that and turns out living in Russia kinda sucks?

      Haha, yes. They were home schooling, antivaxxers who sold a fully owned farm in Canada because of “the gays,” then hoped a plan to russia with their 8 kids.

      Of course, Russia froze all their funds, forced them all to get vaccinated, then refused go process their visas for months, while they had to live in a one bedroom with a broken sink. The husband posted a video talking about how they missed their washing machine.

      The wife then posted a video about how she hated Russian bureaucracy, which they pulled down quickly. Suddenly, they are talking about howm much they love Russia, how its great that they can’t access their money.

      Now, months later they find out that they need to speak fluent Russian to become citizens, and that it can take years after that. They also can’t own more than 49% of a farm without being citizens, so they found a russian to own the 51%.

      So after all this, they are going to build a house and a barn and raise farm animals, all for some guy they met to actually own, all while not speaking the language and being utterly dependent on strangers.

      Man, that fully owned farmed farm in canada where they were utterly independent and had free healthcare sure sounds like shit in comparison.

    Sound very much like the communists that moved to Soviet Union 100 years ago to build a utopia. They went and got purged by Stalin. Now it’s the turn for far-right wingnuts with another former petty criminal in charge of Russia.

      Sounds like the exact opposite. Alex Jones is many things, but he’s not a brash young revolutionary looking to rebuild the industrial base of the country with his own two hands. Dude is looking over there because he wants to haunt the strip clubs and cigar joints, while getting shit-faced on raw milk and vodka.
