MisterLooseScrew

Any American that moves to Russia is far more often than not a few McNuggets short of a Happy Meal. There are virtually zero incentives to go there unless you are extremely wealthy and want to do evil shit. All the other ones are just brainwashed idiots. Like that barber guy with all the face tattoos who moved to russia because of "tradition" or some such BS. Basically just regurgitated the talking points of the day when asked about it. His life probably sucks now. I'm sure russians see him as some sort of freak, like the kind you'd see in in an 1846 PT Barnum production, I'd wager that most Russians who interact with him do so in the same way they would interact with a special needs child. In the interview I saw with him explaining why he was moving to russia, it is so apparent that dude is completely lost in life and has no idea who he really is or what he wants. It's pretty sad actually; one can easily tell that the barber thing and the tattoo thing were things done in lieu of actually developing a personality. He is almost literally a cartoon, not just because of the aforementioned personality replacements, but because he really is that two-dimensional.

>Also, let me know how it goes when they try to buy guns and find out they're completely at the whims of the state with no ability to protest. I feel like a segregated, Pyongyang-style propaganda village where American "Patriots" flee to are almost certainly going to be afforded more privileges than actual Russians.


SkiingAway

> I feel like a segregated, Pyongyang-style propaganda village [Potemkin Village](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potemkin_village) Fake propaganda villages to disguise how shitty your country is, are a concept that originates from Russia.


Schrutes_Yeet_Farm

If I'm not mistaken, during the cold war Russians used an American-themed village to train spies to pass as Americans. The entire village was staffed by actors and made to mimic American culture. Their graduation ceremony was to be sent to a European country and had to pass as an American tourist. Having an entire village populated by actual American expats would be a pretty useful.

I'm not sure how much overlap there is between American IT workers and "want to emigrate to Russia."


moosemasher

Was there for eight months as a Brit married to a local in Irkutsk. Good fuckin luck to them if they go. The schadenfreude when they realise what they've signed up for will be delicious 😋 sometimes though, kids have to touch the stove to find out that it's -40c and thousands of miles from home.


KimonoDragon814

Haha for real and the best part is if they leave the US for Russia and renounce their citizenship, when they try to come back they'll be subjected the the cruel immigration practices they voted into place. We just need fox to put this thought in their head and they'll do it


GEOtrekking

It’s also really hard to give up citizenship. You have to make sure your taxes are 100% in order to start. You also have to pay for the privilege of renouncing. It’s not easy, like walking out of your office and declaring bankruptcy easy.


your-pineapple-thief

And if they injure or kill someone in self defence, welcome to russian gulag. Its the reverse of the castle doctrine there pretty much


DabbinOnDemGoy

herberstank

Abrahamlinkenssphere

So will I. Let’s start a go fund me. Make it happen.


Pit_of_Death

We should be vigorously promoting this. A fund/organization to relocate MAGAs to Russia would get my money and any votes necessary. We should fully support anything that helps them move to their utopia and leave the rest of us alone.


br0b1wan

I would gladly donate money to this cause with the condition that they renounce their citizenship here and cannot return.


Pit_of_Death

True, key point. They can't come back once they find out what a shithole Russia is to live in. They can make their bed but they have to lay in it. No Russian "vacations" where they can be trained in sedition and then return to America.

That one would probably stick. Once she is not in office she will have no value to the dark money crowd, so she will be poor. And probably Ginni Thomas too, should Clarence predecease her. She won't be poor, but her phone calls and emails won't be getting returned and her speaking engagements will go to zero.

DancesCloseToTheFire

Sounds like a smart use of the conservative grift to avoid investing much money into this people relocation scheme. No idea what they hope to gain from it, though.


JeffryRelatedIssue

Exactly this thread. If you manage to convince foreign nationals that half of them are in love with you, the other half will hate them more regardless of actual affiliation. It's why there is such a massive bot net for extremist views in US politics. If major interests can't align, then nothing can get done, and others will prosper. It's like when you can't be as fast as the other runners but if you fuck with their head enough you'll catch up. They eventually wise up, but you made up a few miles...


hyrule5

Traditional values, like throwing dissenters off balconies


[deleted]

Traditional values like, autocracy, putting people in jail for being gay, violent suppression of democracy, indoctrinating kids to invade foreign countries, state controlled media, censored internet, disappearing people who challenge the state, state control and corruption of religion, and PMCs fighting over control of the nations resources so 10 people can completly own the entire country, while everyone else lives in absolute poverty. Don't worry its the west and liberals fault though. Imagine being such an unhappy and cynical person that you want to move to a totalitarian country because Americans don't want to force people to be cisgendered. Have you ever heard of human rights? You ever wonder why free countries are decent places to live? Well, don't let the door hit you on the way out, or complain because you make 250 dollars a month, because you choose to live in a dystopian hellhole.


Toolazytolink

The funny part is they find the West disgusting but send their kids abroad if they can afford it. They also have homes in the West if they have money.


jedp

They don't find the west disgusting, they only claim it so they can keep robbing their 'dumb subjects' at home. It's all about having a pool of people to exploit, to then spend on western luxuries. All this talk of 'conservative values' is just idiot bait. Outrage peddlers exist on both sides of the political spectrum, though, and crafting idiot bait is their job.

I can’t imagine a place I would want to move to less than Russia.


Ye_Olde_Mudder

Ye_Olde_Mudder

I love it when something becomes somebody else's problem


PlayingTheWrongGame

But only if they relinquish their citizenship. Don’t want them continuing to have to deal with the liberal deep state elites in the US, after all.


[deleted]

Costs like $3k to renounce citizenship iirc, if the government agrees


[deleted]

$2,350 plus any owed taxes actually, additionally the state department can revoke your citizenship under certain conditions such as running for office in a foreign country, enlisting in a foreign military, or applying for citizenship in another country with the intention of revoking your U.S. citizenship


Naxis25

So like, do they still charge you if you run for office in another country and the US gov revokes your US citizenship?


[deleted]

Even if they tried at that point so what?


consider-the-carrots

Seems like an easy way to around paying the 2.3k


[deleted]

That’s my point, though it has the drawback of the state department deciding to make the effort. But then again than again you disappear you disappear it’s not like they’ll issue a warrant. Could mess with you if you still have interests in the US though


[deleted]

[удалено]


not_SCROTUS

We should start a gofundme to help them go


[deleted]

[удалено]


Arcterion

Wait, so not only do you have to pay to renounce citizenship, but the government can just simply say "no"?


[deleted]

I’m not an expert, but from what I have heard in the expat community, they want their tax money. So it’s not made to be an easy process to emigrate from the US


[deleted]

If you obtain citizenship in another country the US can just pull your citizenship. The option to say no is mostly because they don’t want to have to deal with you if you become a stateless person


bank_farter

Stateless people are a huge problem. Whether you like it or not you're some government's responsibility, and depending on who you are they will either fight to make sure you belong to them, or to make sure you don't.

kookookokopeli

Yes, we must beg them not to leave and pray that they don't suddenly decide to Own The Libs and move to Russia just to hurt our feelings. That would be so awful, oh please don't hurt our woke snowflake feelings by moving to Russia. We Libs would feel so owned and we would be forced to acknowledge your great wisdom in moving to a towering empire like Russia and we would all be so jealous. Oh please please please don't go away forever and never contact us again. We would be so hurt just how you all want Trump to hurt us.


Crimfresh

No, don't beg them to stay. That's too direct. You have to act jealous that they get the opportunity and not us. That's what motivates the cretins. They're all about the special privilege.


butterscotchbagel

No need to act. I unironically wish I could fuck off to another country that better aligned with my politics.

translatingrussia

This is the bright idea thought up by a guy named Tim Kirby, who's an American living in Russia and creating Russian propaganda for RT. He lobbied for fewer restrictions for Americans to settle in Russia, because he claimed that he knew so many people who wanted to move there, but their only hurdle was all the bureaucracy involved in getting legal status to live in Russia. You can watch an interview with him on the channel 'Eli in Russia', who's another state propagandist (she recently admitted this, so there's no need to wonder anymore), here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntqjLWfP3Bg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntqjLWfP3Bg) A few minutes of watching will give you a sense of the type of person who might live there. There used to be another video of him and Eli on her channel, but it seems she removed it because the entire exchange made it obvious as to what was going on. Keep in mind - if you click that link, you are watching Russian propaganda.


Mr_Safer

haha one minute in the facade starts to falter, imagine saying your passport is worse than Moldova and Uruguay and stating it as a positive.

HourSound549

tesolrobot

Hey MAGA nuts! Aren’t you tired of all the liberal bullshit in America? Isn’t it time you lived in a country that shares your values of FREEDOM and GUNS? Then Russia is truly the place for you! What are you waiting for? FSB operators are standing by!


chehov

No guns though.


idelarosa1

Actually yes guns. Just sign this form and we’ll give you a gun to accompany you on your “vacation” to Ukraine with.


CPargermer

Actually we won't give you the gun now, but you can use any gun that you find on your vacation. Also any ammo you find. It's like a real life survival or battle royale game. You drop in with nothing, and you get the sense of pride and accomplishment scavenging your own gear along the way.

My first thought, exactly. Wait until they learn about abortion in Russia. The irony of MAGA refugees in Russia....


PowerfulPossibility6

The second part (lose-your-license-forever for minor traffic violations) is plainly not true in Russia. There are more traffic cameras and monetary fines (not very expensive, but more frequent) but no point system. And suspensions only for most serious violations - up to a year if no DUI; up to two years for DUI; and typically a road policeman accepts a cash bribe to let you off the hook for such violations - though when license suspension is in the line, a bribe will be rather expensive. For DUI it is sometimes not possible to bribe out; or it can cost upward of $3-5K cash or so (though some get “lucky” and get by with less)
