Russian Presidential Decree No. 702, the ”traditional” values attached to Russia’s humanitarian emigration visa — often called the “shared values” or “anti-woke” visa — focus on a rejection of “destructive neoliberal” and Western ideological policies, including “LGBTQ rights to mixed-gender bathrooms.”
Of all the actual destructive neo liberal policies, lgtbq rights shouldn’t even be on the radar.
Christian nationalism and patriarchal dominionism is deceiving young men across the planet.

As everyone else here has said, this is a perfect example of FAFO. Everyone knows (except Maple MAGA types who live in their own false information bubble) that Russia is grabbing every adult male inside their borders that they can, to be sent to their deaths in Ukraine. To move to Russia shows a degree of wilful stupidity and/or ideological blindness that is beyond repair. It’s basically like a person deliberately crossing and re-crossing a very busy highway because they think they are invulnerable.
No sympathy whatsoever for the idiot, but some sympathy for the children whom I assume had no choice.

While I love the FAFO, I have to wonder how Russia is this bad at PR. There’s no way getting a few out of shape idiots into their army is worth the bad press among their far right followers.

This message doesn’t reach them. They read curated media. My maple maga dad is completely oblivious or even is trained to actively ignore such signals.

I remember when Russia first did this visa program and EVERYONE said ‘oh, they’re going to enlist these people into their military as fast as they can’ because it was obvious they were going to do that. to everyone.
