If you think you can improve your life by moving to Russia, by all means, go. Putin's even inviting people to do it these days. Let the rest of us make coherent decisions uninterrupted.

you don't get to say such things if you live in central europe, balkans or baltics
you already live in a better place than the west europeans and americans who actually would benefit by upgrading to russia
I seriously think you have to be damaged somewhat if you think Russia is an upgrade over any western country because they don’t like gay flags
what made you think it was *only* the perversion? that's just the cherry on top
- the welfare states, and the distorted marketplaces and jobs prospects, and high unemployment rates (it's not as bad in the balkans as in the west, by far, especially non EU members like bosnia and serbia)
- the high taxes, and the terrible food rules and enforced exporting of stuff such that you can't buy the actual products of the country you live in (this is really bad in bulgaria, where they make the best cheese and wine, nope... all sold at the most elite supermarkets in northern and western europe
- on that point more... what they feed cattle and how they treat them, the nearly absence of beef from the market, the disappearance of lamb and mutton, the sheer mass of horrible processed foods dominating the supermarkets, full of garbage like maltodextrin and artificial sweeteners that actually make you get diabetes faster
it's not hard to notice that russians aren't bloated whales like so many in europe are now, it was a shock to me after living in sarajevo and varna getting to cambridge and every third person is a straight up whale, and exactly the same in madeira
must be terrible food in russia if they aren't ballooning up and getting diabetes and heart problems, really
and they arrest nearly 10x as many people in the UK for "hate speech" than in russia, and russia is about how much bigger? like, a bit smaller than USA, maybe 5x as many people so actually per capita 100x as many people are being prosecuted for hate speech
idk what to say man, the propaganda in especially baltics and central european countries against russia seems to be very effective, i see this all the time for years now, i don't think you are even aware how distorted it is
yes, russia is fucked up, but so is the whole fucking world these days, except where the population density is lower, and by this i mean, i'm glad i'm here in madeira instead of alentejo or setubel let alone porto or lisbon
Lol. Lmao, even. Russian soldiers in Ukraine were looting *toilets* at the start of their invasion. Can you honestly imagine taking your chance to loot in war and deciding your best haul, heavy and nasty as it may be, is a fucking toilet? What do you think life at home has to be like for you to decide to voluntarily haul 50+ lbs of porcelain shitter out of a war zone? Let's not forget the reports of soldiers with some rank raping their subordinates, their own fellow soldiers, in an army you could get involuntarily conscripted into. Are you ready to get docked down for Putin before he throws your life away because he's too proud and vain to admit he royally fucked up by invading?
