Their god commanded them to have lots of kids. The idea crops up again and again in fundamentalist abrahamic movements. This world is bad but that doesn’t matter as it is just the doorstep before paradise.
It also helps to brainwash girls/women until they believe their only purpose is baby making for their husbands. It’s torture and abuse.
I’m sure there are a bunch of these quiverful dumbasses that are poor as fuck.
Sure there are, and the poor quiverful will work for the businesses gifted to the rich quiverful
Isn’t it usually the impoverished people who have more kids
They’re YouTubers, probably thought they’d get more views and their money would go farther in Russia.
saving all the money by not using contraception
So Arend (and wife Anneesa) sold everything they had to move to sunny Russia and raise eight of their nine kids with “orthodox” values.
Jesus, imagine being the kid that got away.
Yeah, I wondered about the ninth kid and how (s)he’s doing.
Must be college age and in school.
Imagine being so afraid of people who have slightly different beliefs from you that you think moving to a dictatorship is a good idea.
Last I heard a lot of right wingers are perfectly okay to turn USA in a dictatorship as long as Trump would be the dictator. You can already hear the "but I thought he was going to protect us, not (many things possible here) "
My idiot barber because he read in some newspaper rag that “kids won’t be able to call their parents mom/dad” (my guess is that schools won’t use the the terms mom/dad in their correspondence to be more inclusive).
I wished him good luck and I hope he really likes AKs as he’s sent straight to the front as cannon fodder for little dear Putin.
He was obviously not entirely serious but was certainly swallowing some bullshit provoked outrage.
From my time lurking in r/AskARussian I remember quite a lot of these types, convinced that Russia was a paradise of freedom and conservatism, and that moving there would be a piece of cake. What’s horrible about this couple is that they’ve quite possibly fucked up their children’s lives, especially once they get to military age.
To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.
That being said, hah! Dumbasses!To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.
I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.
To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.
its those brainwashed children that are the real victims in this story
It’s ok. Russian state is going to take them in, train them for a few years at an undisclosed location and then send them back to their original country where they can run for office or something.
Or they’ll get pulled off the street & mobilized, later being fed thru a meat grinder somewhere in eastern Ukraine.
Still worthy of pity and serve as a life lesson.
Still worthy of pity
Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.
Yes. Any schadenfreude I may have felt if they’d been alone evaporated when I saw 8 children are being dragged through this.
True, I’d never laugh at some that got done in by life - but they made their own bed doing something obviously stupid, so I have no qualms laughing
This a clear case of leopards eating faces. Feel free to laugh all you want at their misfortune.
Nah, stay there. In fact, take the rest of the christfacists with you.
Why? The church’s influence and power has already increased far too much since Gorbachev illegally dissolutioned the USSR.
If anything, they should take the rest of the chrisfascists out of Russia with them. That’d be great.
Don’t want them in Russia, don’t want them in America, should just meat in the middle… of the Pacific ocean.
Whatever happened to “Warda”?
Basically you give people a year to evacuate, then after that you gate off Florida, allow people to take any guns they want in and enforce their own laws personally, as they please. Whatever happens, happens, it’s Warda afterall…
Disney may need a private military, and an ingress lane from the sea… but they got money.
“Escape from Disney Island” to complete the trilogy.
If we ever needed a sequal its now.
Here’s the answer
Pacific ocean
I just had a look at a globe and I think the middle would be actually the Arctic ocean.
Let them build colonies on all those mountains their mustard seed of faith will surely cast into the sea!
Fair compromise. I can take that.
It’d be a shame if someone deepfaked a video using their voice and facial data into a glowing testimonial of how great Russia is, with detailed steps about how other dutiful, god-fearing conservatives can get in on and take full advantage of the amazing opportunity for financial independence that awaits them in glorious Russia.
Russia, if you’re listening, this might be a good plan to get more fodder for the front lines in your “special military operation” in Ukraine. They think they’re good fighters too. Win bigly.
Putin isn’t going to let any potential meat for his grinder out. Better hope he loses faster.
Else, you’re fucked fash, & I love that for you.
Lives in the US: this place sucks, we want it to be more like Russia.
Moves to Russia: this place sucks, it’s exactly what we wanted, but we aren’t in charge.
Moves back to US: let’s make this place more like Russia except people like us are in charge.
The family is Canadian
The same refrain works well in all western countries: conservatives get mad if you take their power to control others away, so they look to fascism.
man, this is such a shitshow, I’m almost tempted to subscribe to their channel.
Almost.
I mean, if they’re in Russia and speaking out about being unhappy to be there, how long before something really interesting happens on their channel? I would expect one of three things: they walk back their statement and say that they’re actually happy there, a worldstar shitshow video goes up, or silence. It kinda makes sense to pay attention to this to see what Russia’s response is.
If you read the article, you would have seen that this has already been explained.
The husband has made a video apologizing, and the video of his wife complaining has been deleted. It sounds like they have nothing, are totally broke, and the government is upset at them. They’re super fucked.
First, according to the family, the Russian bank where they moved the proceeds from selling their farm and belongings? It immediately froze their assets.
The parents (but not the kids) deserve it. They’re also doing a great job of showing their kids what extremist ideology gets you.
I thought I was in NotTheOnion.

The “article” is written so badly.
Russian officials assured them that they would work with them to get them established, and even help them get a farm.
—apparently those nice Russian officials offering to help them had disappeared.
So they got scammed by someone posing as Russian officials.
Is this Worldnews worthy?
