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 offering assistance to foreigners seeking temporary residence in his country and expanding the quota approved by the nation’s government and setting aside a requirement for knowing the Russian language, history and basic laws, and Jones urged his followers to consider sanctuary there.

    Let these douchebags go. Chances are they’ll be bitching about their situation in no time and looking to come back.

    Don’t give them asylum.

    “This 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

    Alex Jones, pro-immigration and a strong advocate of removing any process to naturalize citizens in a new country.

    Fucking do it. We should be publicly funding this shit. You don’t want to be here and another country will take you? Awesome, we’ll help get you there.

    Oh man I would feel so owned if conservatives moved to Russia. Oh no, please don’t. Please.

      Once they get their Russian citizenship any of the Americans that do this should remember to find a US embassy/consulate and renounce their citizenship so they don’t get taxed by Uncle Sam.

    Please take them. Please, please, please take them all.

    What they don’t know is that they’ll immediately be sent to Ukraine. One-way ticket probably.

      My bet is that more likely some of them will suddenly be caught with drugs, accused of spying and other made up crimes and sentences to 15 years in prison.

      Then they will get exchanged with the US for war criminals.

        Anyone who moves there for “sanctuary” should automatically be left out of prisoner exchanges. Though I suspect they’re more useful as propaganda tools to talk about how much better Russia is than the US.

      Sunflowers are much prettier and far more useful than whatever crap Jones and his cronies spew.

          He makes most of his money shilling his pills, I think the gold sellers just pay him for air time

            Don’t start splitting inconsequential hairs with me, buddy! Episode 765 of Knowledge Fight reviews Tim Fruge’s deposition in which he discusses the silver coins they had stored in the wearhouse (if I remember correctly. It’s been over a year since I heard this episode). Just because he makes most of his money from pills doesn’t mean he can’t also have silver coins.

                I haven’t tuned in much lately, mostly because so little changed about AJ in the aftermath of the lawsuit. Also, my commute went from 30-45 minutes down to 10-15

                How’s the new content? Should I start tuning in again or stick with Behind the Bastards?

                  Eh nothing super important. Alex is laundering money through his dad very transparently and Alex already started sandy hook denying.

                  There was one episode a few weeks ago where it seemed like some bankruptcy thing was progressing and Alex had a real spicy episode.

                  All in all it is kinda a slow period yeah.

      A lot of the far-right chuds that would take Putin up on this offer are well above combat age. Now, using these people to make up the labor shortfall caused by the Ukraine war? I can absolutely see that one.

      Either that, or he’d just pamper them in exchange for utilizing them as propaganda mouthpieces for his regime.

        The russians are sending undesirables to die, regardless of age. They have been luring people from abroad for some time now. Promises of jobs and on arrival you get put on a truck to Ukraine.

      Oh no, absolutely they shouldn’t go! That would be so terrible for all of us progressives. Once they leave and take all their useful skills with them we absolutely will fail as a country and will cry tears of shame that we ever questioned them. That would show us so hard. We would be so owned!
