Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

”... bypass the usual bureaucratic nonsense"

Immigration laws? Quotas? Checking that they're not importing the "criminals, drug traffickers, human traffickers and people from insane asylum from those shithole countries"?

"like language tests"

"Speak 'Merican!" "Why should I press 1 for English!?"

"or history exams,"

"They come over here and don't even integrate to our culture, our laws and our history. They want to bring their own culture here and replace us"

I know it never stops, but even still this level of hypocritical entitlement still amazes me. Either way, can't wait for these Leopard Ate My Face posts.

Russia needs meat for the meat grinder. Putin is delaying sourcing his meat from St. Petersburg or Moscow for as long as possible.

I love how the same people that call for tougher immigration laws are clamoring for looser laws in other countries.

You just want to go to Russia and live there without ever bothering to learn Russian? And you're not expecting any resentment to grow against those immigrants that just come and don't adjust?

There will be those - I suspect - who believe they are above speaking Russian, because they were "raised speaking the language of the greatest country on Earth", and they will believe that the Russians will just accept that for the same reasons, because, obviously Russians know that Americans are better than them.

This mindset is very familiar to me. I'm British.

They assume they’ll be fine since they’re white. That’s all.
