As a white conservative American male, should I consider moving to Russia?

Question

So here’s the thing.

I genuinely don’t believe in Democracy.

I’d much rather have what I want all the time and have it be a right-wing nationalist government.

Russia isn’t communist anymore but the US definitely is.

It’s been awful having to listen to all the BS our media promotes.

All the shilling for woke ideology.

In Russia they simply don’t tolerate it.

In Russia there’s schools that train women to be housewives.

In Russia people believe the Police were way too soft on BLM demonstrators.

In Russia they also have gun rights (unlike in the Soviet Union).

My point being in Russia they don’t put up with all the BS that happens in the US

So f*ck American democracy.

All its given us is the ability to put totally uneducated people in charge.

I think as a conservative American male you should focus on rebuilding normalicy in your country. You could move to a more conservative state.

The grass always seems greener where we're not but living in Russia is not what you expect. You'll exchange one set of problems for a completely new one and that's not even including the language barrier. Think of it this way - the Russians wish they had your problems because they'd deal with them quickly. Can you say the same if it was the other way around?

Sure, Russians are generally conservative and wokeness doesn't sell there... but they are also used to communism and accept it even if technically it doesn't exist there anymore. That means to a large degree they're mentally enslaved and bridging that cultural gap will be challenging. Communism really destroys a nation in ways you can't imagine if you didn't research this topic deeply.

It's still pretty much a wild west (or east) where the government has all the power and rich people have stupid privileges just because they have money. I watched a documentary about Russia a couple of years ago where politicians could literary pick up homeless children off the street to abuse them in exchange for food. Everybody knew about it, nobody cared or could do anything about it. People don't have power to protest against anything and you can complain about democracy and sure it has its problems... but totalitarianism only serves politicians, not people like you or me.

Also, as an American you wouldn't be very popular... and believe me it wouldn't win you any respect if you admitted that you left America for such reasons because life in a poor country like Russia is a struggle. You'd be seen as a spoiled man-child. And while Russia is not as monolithic as people think, you can't even imagine how hard assimilating to their culture for an American would be.

And while you mention the women who are indeed very beautiful and expected to be good wives - well, the men's role is to protect their country. But you want to escape yours. It makes me wonder are you really that conservative? Don't give up on it so easily, get yourself a conservative wife and have many children who will turn things around. It's men more than women who have the power in society.

A Russian woman who'd be willing to be with you (and she'd most likely put up with you not fitting into the culture, not knowing the language etc if you were more rich than Russian men around her) would want you to take her away from there. Not only because Russia is a poor country but also because as a man you should have a leading role in a conservative relationship and that simply wouldn't be possible if you didn't speak the language and weren't perfectly assimilated in the country. Also, can you support a housewife? Do you think you'd be able to support a housewife in Russia?

The work culture doesn't respect individual rights - I worked with people from those countries and they'll easily abuse those who are below them. In a country that knew communism and poverty, someone who "makes it" is more likely to abuse that power. In fact that's why they're often selected into these positions.

Also you might find that people in large cities in Russia have those same qualities that you find in America so maybe it'd make more sense to either move to a different state or to a more rural area?

You do know that Russia is poor and is nowhere near first world living conditions and that they still consider the Soviet times as the best, and Stalin and Lenin as the most inspirational or influential people of all time, right?
Most of them respect Lenin and Putin even said not long ago that communism was similar to Christianity. Russia may be nationalist and conservative but it isn't as right wing as you imagine.

I really think it sounds Ideal for you. You clearly have investigated it thoroughly and you'd be much happier there and yes the women are beautiful, love sex and enjoy doing the kinkier things the prudes in the U. S. won't do. So do it as soon as possible. Change your life for the better. You'll be much happier. We of course, will be losing a great patriot and one of our smartest young people. It will be a loss but we will soldier on knowing you are finding true happiness in a country that seems like it was create exactly for you. Please keep us informed as to your preparations for the move and if there is anything we can do to help you expedite the process to allow you to find true happiness that much sooner. I'm jealous as hell but good on you for taking that bold step.

Go live there if you don't already. You sound more like a hard drive than a human. One branch of my family is from there, they left for a reason, a dog shit lifestyle. I still have cousins there and they also hate it. Best chance of obtaining even mild wealth is to be in the mafia, or a hockey player. The police won't do shit for you because they too are controlled by the mafia. The middle class is only in suburbs of larger cities and quality of life is still subpar to the US, or other western counties. I've lived variously across the globe and have several Russia friends. They too left because life in Russia was a shit show. So go enjoy your terrible life.

I would strongly dissuade you against this, even in the very unlikely event that you speak Russian, know the culture and have job prospects there. You will be confronted with a lot of anti-US sentiment there as well as significant cultural differences that mean you won't find the utopia you're looking for there.

I'd focus on developing the kind of high-level skills you'd need to get a company in Singapore or Switzerland to hire you.

HighlyVolatile · Answer

You might try visiting first. It's always great to travel to different cultures. Yet it's quite a huge commitment to start living in one. Also perhaps start studying the language if you haven't already. I think their immigration policy requires a certain level of fluency in Russian to obtain a permanent residence permit.

Funny to see people mention that Russian living standards are not as high as the US.

That’s actually precisely why the US is so degenerate and they are not. In hard times people revert to their natural roles and become conservative. In easy times people become weak and degenerate.

Even funnier is that the Americans don’t realise that eventually the party will be over and hard times will come again. How will the weaklings cope? Not very well at all.

“I genuinely don’t believe in Democracy”

America is a Republic, not a Democracy. A conservative would know that. The chant of Democracy is a left wing view that wants mob rule over not rule of law.

Anonymous · Answer

The USA was never a Democracy. We were founded by our Founding Fathers as a Republic. And YES. Moving to Russia is sounding pretty good right now.
I believe Almighty God is favoring Russia over the USA, because of their higher moral values. May God Bless and protect Mr Putin

Pohjolan · Answer

You want to move to one of the most corrupt countries that may get sanctioned to oblivion?

Be my guest.
On the positive side as a American you would get a guaranteed job as a Kremlin mouthpiece just parroting what you are told.
At least until the next revolution.

On behalf of America, please do move to Russia. It’s the best thing you can do for your country.

You don't have gun "rights" in Russia, or any for that matter. You are *permitted* to do things until it's inconvenient for the power structure. If you're not interested in liberty, then sure, go to Russia.

fjb2021 · Answer

Hmmmmmm. Russia less communist then America? Not yet. We aren't Canadia or Australia, or New Zealand yet. We are better than that. The great red tsunami is coming for libtards. We can't assume it though, don't let your guard down.

bamesjond0069 · Answer

I've thought about this before myself. But it just seems like a lot of headache and just exchanging problems. But i do agree there is a lot to admire about russia, they do a lot of things right but they do a lot of things wrong too.

What makes you think that russians will accept you.

RationalMale · Answer

It's interesting that in War and Peace, it was portrayed as a conflict between Russian values of things like home and family vs European values of cosmopolitan lifestyle and shallow values.

Russian women don't want to wives or have children hence the low birth rate. Russia is a hard country full of hard men.
America is full of soft weak men and obese women which is why when hard immigrants come here they thrive.
