Of course my backward butt country is on the forefront of chuddery 🤦🏽‍♀️

MAGA voters have explained why they turned their backs on the US for a new life in Russia, claiming the former communist state is a 'positive vision of 1950s America'.

Conservative men have cited the country's Christian values, beautiful women and stunning scenery as the reasons behind their move.

After losing faith in their hero Donald Trump, some have moved as far east as Siberia, unfazed by the prospect of being led by an autocratic dictator.

Imagine moving to fricking Siberia.

They have even expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin, choosing to believe his narrative about his decision to invade Ukraine.

'I think he's a good man,' ex-pat Peter Frohwein, 62, told the Free Press. 'This lie that he's somehow a dictator — just because he was in the KGB doesn't mean he's ever killed anybody.'

>just because he was in the KGB doesn't mean he's ever killed anybody

Frohwein is divorced with no kids, but has hopes of starting up a family. He moved from Atlanta to Yalta in the Crimea in July 2023.

'Twenty percent of the women could be supermodels,' he said, explaining he anticipates his children would speak three languages: English, Russian and Mandarin.

'I wouldn't seriously consider starting a family in the U.S. today,' he added. 'The U.S. is a political mess. Socially, things are a mess. Spiritually, things are a mess.'

>Twenty percent of the women could be supermodels

Meanwhile, family man Joseph Rose has managed to carve out a career with his YouTube channel documenting his new life in Moscow.

>carve out a career with his YouTube channel

'I would say that Russia is becoming a bastion of Christianity and that America is becoming the opposite of this,' Rose explained.

'I do think it was God leading me to where I needed to be right now. I was put in a spot where I could be used.'

I hate christcucks so fricking much.

Rose, 49, relocated to Russia from Tallahassee, Florida, with his wife and children and has not looked back since.

'I often say it feels like our positive vision of 1950s America,' he explained.

One program manager from Texas, who wished to remain anonymous, suggested Russia offered a simpler way of life.

'People are running around in America wondering why we have so many problems with suicide and depression, and they'll virtue signal and talk about the phones, and it's this and that, and the reality is children are not allowed to be children,' the father-of-six said.

>America wondering why we have so many problems with suicide

His comments bear echoes of the conservative Christian Feenstra family who moved from Canada to Russia to 'escape LGBT ideology'.

Farmer Arend Feenstra and his wife Anneesa made the decision to move their family of 10 from Canada to Russia in January - however their dream appeared to go quickly downhill upon their arrival.

The proceeds from selling their farm in rural Canada were immediately frozen as their Russian bank deemed the sum 'suspicious'.

Wife Anneesa took to social media to moan about unhelpful locals not speaking English - but then issued a pleading apology after Russian government officials got wind of the insults she'd been meting out.

Seeing these dumbfrick rightoids who are used to being able to whine about the gobberment and then find out what an actual oppressive government is like is extremely satisfying.

>This spring, billions of cicadas will emerge

Cicadas are infected with a fungus that makes their peepee fall off and replaces or with a fake "fungus peepee"

>A mass of fungal spores builds up in the abdomen of each infected cicada. Eventually, the back end of the cicada — including its genitals — falls off. In its place, a white fungal plug is exposed, “a clump of spores that are erupting out of where the genitals and abdomen once were”

The fake peepee also makes meth in order to make the bug ragingly horny

>We found an amphetamine in those fungal plugs, which provides a plausible explanation as to why the behavioral modification is occurring,” Kasson said. After all, amphetamines are powerful stimulants in humans.

The fungal meth-peepee turns the cicada into a horny zombie whose peepee falls off when it fricks, both infecting its mate and also jizzing spores from the open wound to bomb other bugs with as it flies around in a meth fueled rage.

>when they pull apart, guess what happens? Rip. And then there's a cicada walking around with someone else's genitals stuck to them,” Cooley said. “And now the cicada that's infected is busted open. The spores dispersed by these "flying saltshakers" go on to infect the next generation of cicadas

The zombie bugs also become gay in order to frick as much as possible

>The infected males keep trying to mate with females, and they also change their behavior to attract their fellow males.

R-slur scientists can't decide if bugs get high on meth or not, the fungus may just make meth for lols

>it's making a powerful psychoactive chemical, but the powerful psychoactive chemical may not do anything to the insects,” Cooley said. He suggested that the fungus may have a different means of controlling the cicadas' behavior, and that the amphetamines it produces might instead serve to ward off vertebrate predators

To be clear, cicadas are edible, and they don't even need the meth so it's fine if you try it. Each cicada only has a low dose so you should eat several dozen of them

>While cicadas are edible, Kasson said people hoping to sample the bugs should be choosy about which ones they eat. If a person, dog or cat were to eat an infected cicada, they wouldn't be affected by the amphetamines in it — the dose is too small.

Don't worry about catching the peepee destroying r*pe-zombie fungus either, you can enjoy the free meth without a care

>M. cicadina is only capable of infecting cicadas (and just the 13- and 17-year varieties of these bugs), so humanity is probably safe from zombification.

Let them starve.

!nooticers 15k jobs cut but ME ME ME ME ME ME!!

After taking office in December, Milei wasted no time jumping into Argentina's culture wars. He shut down the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, banned the government's use of gender-inclusive language and closed the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism.

^{State workers Flavia (center), and Lia Pesaresi, protest the policies of Argentinian President Javier Milei outside Congress, including the layoffs of some of their colleagues in Buenos Aires on April 12, 2024.}

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina --- When Luana Salva got her first formal job after years of prostitution, she was ecstatic.

A quota law in Argentina that promoted the inclusion of transgender people in the work force --- unprecedented in Latin America except in neighboring Uruguay --- pulled her from the capital's street corners into the Foreign Ministry last year.

Yet just months after Salva got her first paycheck, right-wing President Javier Milei entered office and began slashing public spending as part of his state overhaul to solve Argentina's worst economic crisis in two decades. Abruptly fired in a wave of government layoffs, Salva said her world began to unravel.

"The only option we have left is prostitution ... and I don't see myself standing on a corner, getting cold, enduring violence," Salva, 43, said. "This government is unaware of all that has been built to make us feel included."

Salva's sudden reversal of fortunes reflects the political whiplash being felt across Argentina. Past left-leaning presidents who enacted some of the most socially liberal policies on the continent have given way to a self-proclaimed "anarcho-capitalist" whose fiery appraisals of social justice and efforts to dismantle diversity and equity programs have made him into a global far-right icon.

"The only thing this radical feminist agenda has achieved is greater state intervention to hinder economic process," Milei said in a speech met with enthusiastic applause at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, earlier this year.

Few in Argentina are more enraged by Milei's anti-woke agenda than LGBTQ+ activists, who worry his government is rolling back their hard-won gains. Since drawing attention as a brash TV personality, Milei has lambasted feminist and human rights movements as a "cult of a gender ideology."

"Unfortunately, we are going backward," said Alba Rueda, a trans woman activist and diversity adviser in the former center-left government of President Alberto Fernández, who made Argentina the first country in the region to allow nonbinary people to make "X" the gender on their national identity documents.

"What we have achieved is being discredited," Rueda said.

After taking office in December, Milei wasted no time jumping into Argentina's culture wars. He shut down the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity, banned the government's use of gender-inclusive language and closed the National Institute against Discrimination, Xenophobia and Racism.

In an announcement timed for International Women's Day on March 8, Milei renamed the Women's Hall in the presidential palace to Hall of Heroes. To the delight of his conservative fans --- and the outrage of tens of thousands of women's rights protesters outside his residence --- he had portraits of historical female leaders in the room taken down and replaced with those featuring Argentina's founding fathers and soldiers.

Milei has also scrapped a decree calling for gender equality in companies and civil society groups and ended gender-focused training programs. He has repeatedly railed against abortion --- or, as he calls it, "murder aggravated by the familial bond." A lawmaker from his party has presented Congress with legislation demanding the repeal of Argentina's breakthrough legalization of abortion in 2020.

It's a far cry from the past years when Argentina became the first country in Latin America to legalize same-s*x marriage and a few years later recognized choosing one's own gender identity as a human right. In 2021, the Fernández administration passed its employment quota law, requiring the state to reserve 1 percent of all jobs for transgender, transexual or nonbinary people who would otherwise struggle to find formal work.

Before Milei became president, efforts to fulfill the quota were just gaining traction, with 955 transgender people on the public payroll --- far below the 5,551 positions allocated to them in compliance with the law. The fate of the legislation is now unclear.

"The quota does not make much sense," presidential spokesperson Manuel Adorni said. "Each position will be occupied by the best, most capable person, be it a man, a woman, a transvestite or anything else."

Some 105 transgender people have lost their civil service jobs in the last three months, according to the union representing state workers.

It's a small drop in the ocean of 15,000 state workers who have been fired as Milei races against the odds to push the state budget into surplus by the year's end.

But transgender people who benefited from the law insist each layoff has a ripple effect on Argentina's gender and sexual minorities who remain vulnerable to hate crimes and face widespread discrimination in the labor market. In 2016, 70 percent of transgender women reported making a living from s*x work. In 2022, after the law was passed, that figure fell to 56 percent, according to a study released last year by Buenos Aires government officials.

"The quota, for me, meant the possibility of changing my life," Salva said.

Milei's libertarian administration says the layoffs are part of its austerity program and not targeted at LGBTQ+ people. Milei has also Argentina's currency, slashed subsidies, eliminated price controls and closed other government ministries unrelated to gender and sexual identity.

But those in the LGBTQ+ community insist the president's populist shock doctrine disproportionately affects them. In his much-memed Davos speech, Milei slammed "women's ministries and international (feminist) organizations" for employing "bureaucrats who do not contribute anything to society."

"There is a focus here," said Clarisa Gambera, a gender specialist at one of Argentina's main labor unions. "Many of these people worked in gender offices of public departments that were dismantled."

LGBTQ+ activists have fought back the way the government's many other political opponents have --- on the streets.

"We obtained our rights thanks to many warriors who gave up their lives for this cause," Ariel Heredia, a recently fired state worker who identifies as nonbinary, said at a recent protest in Buenos Aires. After being laid off, Heredia, 36, lost health insurance he needed to access anti-HIV medication.

In his hunt to find work, Heredia says he may need to dress as a cisgender man, hiding an identity he struggled for years to accept.

"It's a contradiction for me," Heredia said. "But I have to adapt."
