Enemy of my enemy logic, basically. There are people who have such a disdain for the west that they will lionize any political figures who also hate the west, no matter how contradictory their stated ideals are.
Funny thing is they still live in the west. At least stand by your opinion and move to fucking Russia. I think they're especially welcoming of males in their 20s (only if you're born a male and live as a male, sorry, their "tolerance" doesn't run that far).
Many people emigrated or defected to communist Russia. Most of them later regret it 😂. It was especially the case during the purge in 1930s, when American emigres flooded the American embassy in Moscow, demanding their passports back. British spy for Soviet Union, Kim Philby, was exiled to Soviet Union, and he regretted it as his extravagant lifestyle that he grew accustomed to in the West could not easily be had in USSR because of lack of consumer goods.
You know thats a nonsense thing to say. Moving countries is so fucking expensive, its not something you can just do.
Dont make your quips sound as out of touch as the people youre quipping
Actually, Russia has put a great deal of effort into making moving and acquiring citizenship very easy, as of late, and very affordable.
So long as you join up in the Russian military.
So you get a free trip to Ukraine too?
