As a conservative white Christian American male, would living in Russia really be all that bad? Is Democracy the source of all our troubles?

Question

Think about it.

Does Russia hate Christian people?

From what I’ve noticed the Kremlin publicly pats Christians on the back.

But with LGBTQ and woke people they will pummel their skulls into the ground like the little rotten sh*ts they are.

I’d love to live in a country that has zero tolerance for left wing bullsh*t.

What I’ve come to realize is that I don’t believe in western style Democracy because we’ve become too soft as a society because of it.

ALL information-sources  propagate (which propagate their claims)  are, by definition, propaganda , and  the truth is often somewhere between the extremes . Russian Orthodox believers' private-media paints  "Holy Russia" as a conservative utopia  and even gives information on how to migrate (but also every so often) acknowledges that  wages are not as high as in the U. S.  (the relevant "topic" tab) After decades of Soviet initial extermination-attempts & later "toleration"/repression, traditional Eastern Orthodoxy does seem on to be experiencing a renaissance. Moscow's tourism-promoting state-media  Russia Beyond  (originally:  Russia Beyond the Headlines ) generally nods at this, acknowledging Eastern Orthodoxy as their origin of their on-going tradition, culture, and civilization. But read enough and you'll find that articles showing another picture:  Majority of their population are  nominal  Orthodox Christians ,  church-attendance is low but rising nicely ,  Atheism is also on the rise , and  divorce (& its family & societal consequences) is still a rampant  (due to Soviet social-experimentation).  (the relevant "topic"-tab)  (on the current rise of Atheism)  (on Soviet attempts to exterminate Orthodoxy and replace it with Socialism) NO NATION IS PERFECT. ALL HAVE ADVANTAGES & PROBLEMS.  Take it from a 1st-generation immigrant/nationalized U. S. citizen from the Philippines. Many of my fellow-Filipinos would do anything to get to the U. S., unaware of the many problems faced by the Union as a declining power. I've been a Japanophile for years, but recognize its very serious problems also as a declining power. Russia, too, I have loved, but am forced to recognize has its many issues as well, as a declining power… but with a potential to either cooperate with fellow-B. R. I. C. S. to outright replace the U. S. D. & S. W. I. F. T. world-standards altogether if they coordinate and play their cards right in the long-term struggle… OR help the U. S. in the inevitable economic transition IF (& ONLY "IF") the Washington & Moscow could just f—ing get along without the Cold-War mentality & die-hard haters on both side's governments & media could just get out of the way. I have little faith in the latter happening any time soon. But if I have plans of moving and doing business there (or anywhere outside the U. S.& E. U.), I'd only do so after saving a good deal, as a safety-net.  In U. S. D., Gross National Income per Capita ("Head"/"Person") in Russia is $10,690/year. The good news is that cost of living is also lower.  But the question for further research before moving should also include what percentage of your expected income will you have left at the end of the day? Can you survive? AND  learn the language!  As complicated as it is, not doing so will render you illiterate, limit your mobility to only major cities, and generally limit your (meaningful) interactions to English-speaking Russians, who are more likely to be self-hating absorbers of Western Liberal-leaning media. Also, it opens you to more information-sources, so you can better assess information on Russia from Russian-speaking sources & the rest of the world, not just the latter.

Are you born into the oligarchy? If yes probably better, If not killed inside a tank. That's how this game goes.

The oligarchy can have all the gay butt sex they want and then steal your virgin wife while you are dying in a ditch. That's how Russia plays ball. You can have your gripes about democracy but they don't play you THAT dirty.

Russia is got sanctioned af, in about a year they will really start to feel the effects of it and it won't be an easy recovery. So no living in Russia is not a good option. And I don't think their government is so open to American immigration anyway, I mean, it never was, but it's especially not now. So it wouldn't be that easy for you to move there either.

If you are truly conservative, you don’t want government telling you how to live your life.
