Please, please let them all ship themselves to Siberia.

Sound very much like the communists that moved to Soviet Union 100 years ago to build a utopia. They went and got purged by Stalin. Now it's the turn for far-right wingnuts with another former petty criminal in charge of Russia.

Sounds like the exact opposite. Alex Jones is many things, but he's not a brash young revolutionary looking to rebuild the industrial base of the country with his own two hands. Dude is looking over there because he wants to haunt the strip clubs and cigar joints, while getting shit-faced on raw milk and vodka.

Alex would not do it. Unless he can still sell you his Big Brain Vitamins and Deep Earth Crystals. With China cutting off exchanges I doubt he would go.

Today’s surprise: I actually find myself grateful to Putin. GTFO, weirdos.

I would get such schadenfreude from each and every MAGA dipshit who actually takes this offer up

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 10 points 1 month ago

Who knew Putin was actually such a nice guy.

[-] TehWorld@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I’ve never felt a greater pull to donate to anything.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Good, go, and didn't let the door hit ya.

[-] FelixCress@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

Good, let's contain all these fucked up neo nazis for some reason called "conservatives" in Russia.

"Stone buildings burn to the fucking ground, Eddie" - Alex Jones, via knowledge fight. They don't like Alex much, but that was an epic quote

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

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.
