I ran across a series of videos of a Canadian family that moved to Russia. I was interested because I wondered about life in other places and Russia always made me think of Bizzaro Superman comic books. The people in Bizzaro world spoke broken English in a way that sounded Russian to me.
It’s odd to imagine living in a country filled with white people whom I couldn’t easily communicate with.
I didn’t care about the Canadian guy’s reasons for moving to Russia. I was curious about Russia from the point of view of a polite American. “So sore-rry.”
Then he talked about why he and his wife uprooted their family and moved: they were homophobes. They were scared of queers and of their kids being talked into being queer. Canada allows gay people to gather together as openly gay people and celebrate their gayness. Like free people do in free countries.
Russians aren’t free to express their sexuality if it differs from the average. A famous Russian actor said in an interview televised in Russia that gay people should be set on fire. No one in Russia seemed to care. I was especially saddened because his TV show was said to be a Russian version of Scrubs, my favorite American TV show.
The Canadian homophobe obvious didn’t think about other things that aren’t going to be free in Russia. I’m sure he never thought he might end up in a gulag or tossed out a window. He probably figured the journalists who were poisoned or oligarchs who ended up looking like pizza-pies on the street were caught performing a gay sex act on someone, so they had to be ended.
I’d love to see behind the scenes of the Canadian homophobe’s videos because he did NOT have an easy time of it. (I know the name of his channel but I will not name it. He does not need help promoting his traitorous lifestyle.)
The first thing the Canuck farmer was surprised by was how hard it was for his family to learn Russian and just how serious Russia was about them actually learning Russian. They ain’t all loosey goosey like Canada.
Then their assets were frozen, for the same reason they might have been frozen in America (which includes Canada) to determine the source of their money. Russia doesn’t want foreign illegal drug dealers coming into their country.
Having his assets frozen was hard for the Canadian since he didn’t take them seriously when they told him he had to learn to speak Russian. Translators weren’t readily available and you can only go so far with Google translate before it gets suspicious that you’re in the illicit drug business.
The Canadian hasn’t said outright that his family is giving up Canadian citizenship but they fly a Russian flag on their farm now. It’s something Russians don’t do because they don’t feel the need to prove they’re patriots every second of everyday like Americans seem to feel the need to do. Or Canadians who’ve moved to Russia.
In 10 years, after Pooty is dead and the Canadian ex-pat’s kids grow up and some of them defect from Russia, we’ll find out what life was really like for them. Right now it seems like a honeymoon . . . but I’ll bet the homophobic dad wishes he’d kept his mouth shut and stayed in Canada where he has the right to free speech and to bitch about the government. He’d’ve been better off becoming Amish.
I’d like to know if the expatriate from Canada is allowed to own a gun. Or is able to just blurt out anything he wants. Can he go on a road trip across Russia? Can he get a passport and fly to Hawaii if he wants to?
There are lots of videos of Karens getting punched in the face in foreign lands because they think they have first amendment rights wherever they go. They think that, because they’re Americans, the world affords them the same rights America does.
The GOP has redefined itself in the last 16 years. There was a time when a republican was financially conservative and that was it. All the icky stuff like LGBTQ issues, etc, were not discussed. It was definitely not treated as if it were normal, but it wasn’t highlighted. No one would openly come out and say they hated those types of people.
Then came Obama, who brought racism to the surface. As the saying goes, not all republicans are racist, but all racists are republicans. I’m sure that’s not 100% true, but that’s been my experience.
Slick Willy’s wife and Sleepy Joe’s Vice brought out conservative misogyny. Pete Bootyjudge brought out homophobia, even though he’s more straight acting than I am.
(If you’re mad that I misspelled Pete Buttigieg’s last name for comic effect and weren’t mad about my other humorous misspellings, then you’re reading the wrong person’s blog. I didn’t single him out to make fun of him or his last name because he’s gay. I am not homophobic, though you are free to think whatever you want, but if you comment that I am homophobic, I will delete your comment and block you. Exercise your 1st amendment rights somewhere else, Karen.)
During the 2016 election when tyrannosaurus Rump was running against Slick Willy’s wife, there were allegations that tRump was colluding with Russia. Who knows if he really was colluding with Russia, but damn that bronzered simp had a broner for Pooty. Always talking about how strong he is and showing off his super-white dentures while Pooty was near.
If that isn’t love it’s sure is snuggled up close to it.
Because of tRump’s unsinkable lust for Pooty, blue collar republicans started wearing t-shirts that said, “I’d rather be Russian than a democrat.” That’s pretty unpatriotic for the party of patriotism to say outloud.
I’m beginning to think blue-collar republicans are not as fond of freedom as they once pretended to be.
Russia was the enemy of freedom for all of my childhood. It was the biggest part of the Union of Soviet Socialists Republic. Commies. Pinkos.
They overthrew the Tsars a 100 years ago and decided to run everything by committee. Not the best idea but better than living as a peasant with no control over their lives.
Why is Russia now thought of fondly by the American working class?
There are no LGBTQ rights in Russia. It’s illegal to perform sex-change operations. It’s illegal to have gay pride parades. Consensual sex is legal but if it’s gay sex then it could get you killed because it is publicly ridiculed.
In the United States you can have a gay pride parade because it’s protected under the constitution. It’s considered free speech to dance around in booty shorts, shaking your money maker.
First amendment rights are evoked a lot in the United States of America. When gay people or neo-Nazis want to have a parade. Or when Clucker Toolbag wants to praise an avowed American enemy. I was taught that the First Amendment exists to protect speech you may not like or that you find abhorrent.
tRump winning the presidential election in 2024 should be no surprise. Especially with someone like Elly Muskrat sharing the stage with him. Anyone else wonder why the richest man in the world wanted to hangout with the man with the Golden Face? Doesn’t he have billions of dollars he needs to babysit?
DonOld tRump talks like a dad from the 70s. Back when my dad would call me a girl or a sissy if I cried.
When we were kids my cousin’s dad beat him up because he lost a fight. No one did anything about it and my cousin never lost another fight. He figured out that his dad would love him if he picked on weak kids and beat the shit out of them.
The conservative idea of freedom has been warped by the Jesus-free pop-Christian church in the United States. They preach that freedom means the ability to deny service to people if they’re gay. Famously bakers who are asked to bake cakes for weddings involving two men, but it could be anything.
Freedom to the working class conservative means not being confronted with gay pride parades, or two boys kissing on TV or in the movies. The irony is that they wouldn’t see those things if they weren’t watching conservative media. Seriously.
Faux News is especially good at triggering working class conservatives by showing videos of gay people happily being gay in public, surrounded by tall buildings and lots of other people being gay along with them.
The typical viewer of such outrage porn that Faux News pushes lives on a gravel road where no self respecting gay person would ever go, let alone dance around outside on a float raising dust. Can you imagine how much work that would add to their skin care routine?
Why does Faux News keep pushing the narrative that boys are going to dress like girls so they can peep at your daughter peeing in a public bathroom stall at the local Wallco? Do they believe you’re so stupid that you would send your daughter into a public restroom all by herself? Do they think you’re an irresponsible toothless moron that would let his toddler run around the Wallco toy aisle all alone while some pervert talks her into showing off her panties?
Yes. They think you’re that stupid. Faux News thinks you would sacrifice your good health and your decent lifestyle to keep your kids from pooping in litter boxes at school. They do NOT want you to think about how broken the healthcare system is in the United States. Or that there’s no law against General Motors shutting down every plant in the US and moving them all to China.
If all you care about is spending your days not seeing boys in booty shorts then turn off Faux News. No one else is airing that stuff.
