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...
… 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.
I feel bad for the kids.
Eh, they still have citizenship. They’ll be fine when they’re 18.
Yeah, it’s not like Russia has ever illegally detained foreigners before!
You think 18 year olds are allowed to leave Russia right now, except to walk into prepared Ukrainian positions?
They don’t even have to leave Russia to do that anymore!
At least they got away from 'woke"
I hope the guy with the 51% is gay. That’s the only possible way this could be more ironic.
If that doesn’t sum up the path that this crazy ideology leads you down I don’t know what will.
At each step they just keep doubling down 🫠
No no no, I think he would love it. LOVE IT! Don’t try to keep him from going.
Here’s an article mentioning that family (from Canada) but also about a recent family from NY.
