          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.

    ”[Putin’s] new decree blows the lid off the establishment’s agenda, letting freedom-loving folks bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense like language tests or history exams," Jones posted on X. "If you’re ready to reject the insane policies of your home countries that push these destructive, anti-human, neoliberal agendas, Russia is rolling out the red carpet!”

      ”… bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense"

      Immigration laws? Quotas? Checking that they’re not importing the “criminals, drug traffickers, human traffickers and people from insane asylum from those shithole countries”?

      “like language tests”

      “Speak 'Merican!” “Why should I press 1 for English!?”

      “or history exams,”

      “They come over here and don’t even integrate to our culture, our laws and our history. They want to bring their own culture here and replace us”

      I know it never stops, but even still this level of hypocritical entitlement still amazes me. Either way, can’t wait for these Leopard Ate My Face posts.

        I love how the same people that call for tougher immigration laws are clamoring for looser laws in other countries.

        You just want to go to Russia and live there without ever bothering to learn Russian? And you’re not expecting any resentment to grow against those immigrants that just come and don’t adjust?

          There will be those - I suspect - who believe they are above speaking Russian, because they were “raised speaking the language of the greatest country on Earth”, and they will believe that the Russians will just accept that for the same reasons, because, obviously Russians know that Americans are better than them.

          This mindset is very familiar to me. I’m British.

      In the 1920s, a brash group of young and ideologically committed Americans saw the Bolshevik Revolution taking place in Russia and decided to travel halfway around the world in order to join it.

      In the 2020s, a boorish group of over-the-hill talk radio hosts and their most die-hard hangers on are witnessing the last dregs of humanity squeezed out of the failed revolutionary experiment and have decided “Damn, now is definitely the time to pop over and go golfing.”

      I wonder what the Russian police will say the first time they see Alex Jones light up a fat blunt?

      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.

      Nah, way too much value in Alex’s dumb face. Putin’s goal is and has always been to incite internal conflict in the west. Race, class, gender struggles etc further dividing us are the FSBs bread and butter though obviously on the whole “physical war” thing Russia is struggling. Putin would love for Alex to be a mouthpiece for Russia. Joe Rogan has almost 15 million subscribers, and he would happily host Jones whether he was a Russian mouthpiece or not, and idiots would gobble it up, like they do with Tate, Peterson, etc

      There was a homophobic family from here in Sasktachewan (the Feenstra’s), who sold their family farm and dragged their 8 kids to Russia to escape the “far leftist” and “lgbtq ideology” here in Canada. Guess it didn’t work out too well for them since they had their bank accounts frozen (possibly assets seized) and then proceeded to speak ill of Russia (including they don’t speak English there) only to have to publicly apologize and eat their words.

        There’s that funny, but sad thing about laws and how not to break them - a lot of it in daily life depends on instinct, like “how not to make your Windows 98 installation hang”. And those instincts, the aesthetics of what you should and shouldn’t do, are very different between USA and Russia.

        Fraud aside.

        and then proceeded to speak ill of Russia (including they don’t speak English there)

        LOL. What did they expect, “traditional values” are usually less demanding in terms of knowing foreign languages.

        I mean, there was some farmer guy on YouTube who actually managed to move to Russia, create a business and all, who also learned Russian on a good level, but that fact alone (learning a new language on a fluent level being an adult) shows him to be a very unusual person. And I don’t remember any “traditional values” being among his reasons.

        to escape the “far leftist” and “lgbtq ideology” here in Canada

        The stronger your country and civilization group are, the harder it is to see past internal discourse towards outside reality.

        So I’m not surprised that Americans and Europeans might often see their daily news as the absolute truth and be hostile to people trying to tell them otherwise. As with, for example, demonized Iran (not that theocracy is good, it’s just that in foreign policy it’s a better country that Russia, Turkey, Israel, Saudi Arabia, China, …).

        For such people the internal discourse is that Russia is somehow related to their political views. While in reality it’s anything but “traditional” in the American sense.
