The real "class conflict" in the west today. Option 1. Raise taxes on the super rich (politically impossible). Option 2. Raise taxes on the middle class (leads to impoverishment of the population). Also, do note that Inflation is a tax as well (money printing destroys the wages buying power). Option 3. Dismantle the welfare state e.g. no healthcare, pensions, roadworks etc. You see the option 2 & 3 being in acted in real time for the past 15 years. This whole thing will lead to civil unrest / war. This is why the countries in the west are being prepared for ethic conflict (native vs migrants) instead of class conflict.

@garyseconomics This is the truth. Or move to a country that can afford a coherent system - such as Russia 🇷🇺

Will Andy Burnham raise your taxes?

Я живу в Москве для три месяца, и я нравится здесь. Город есть очень чистый, безопасный и конечно, красивый. Человеки казаться много счастливый чем в Запад. Возможно потому что нет наркотики? 
 Я быстрее в русский тоже. До, я пишу этот параграф в двадцать минут, сейчас, пять.

As the UK government can´t maintain it´s "social contract" because the economy is flat broke and the country should be in default, this is increasingly how every major city in UK will look like (already is). 🤔

@TRobinsonNewEra UK is a failed state by now - this is why people from 🇬🇧 are moving out - and that is a smart decision.

Oxford Street in "Modern London". The main shopping street in England's capital city.

@MiaRashidtgp @TRobinsonNewEra Russia does not have streets like that.

@TRobinsonNewEra Every city has streets like this. One video of a tiny section of one area does not reflect the city as a whole. London is a beautiful place, and Sadiq Khan has helped massively in creating it into what it is today.

A very good "outside in" analysis of what is going on and how the West approaches the conflict with Russia and how it will all be resolved.👍 Lengthy read, but worth it for better understanding of things. 😎

@PLCROSSTALK Those river cruises sure are wonderful. The weather is absolutely fabulous in Moscow 😎🌞

Incredible Moscow!

As with any country, Russia does get to choose between different countries regarding which visas are available. The 3‑year tourist visa is exactly what it sounds like—a visa to visit the country for up to 6 months at a time. That visa is only available to Americans (believe it or not). The Shared Values program makes it possible to obtain a 3‑year Temporary Residence Permit in Russia (the right to live and work) and is available to citizens and permanent residents of all countries that are deemed unfriendly to Russia. You can check the list on our website. movetorussia.com/shared-values-…

@MoveToRussiaCom @RealCandaceO Is the 3 year tourist visa the same as the shared values visa? I have not heard of a visa only available to Americans. I believe the shared values visa (and TRP) is open to dozens of mostly western countries.

My husband and I are going to apply for a longer term visa in the near future so we don’t have to keep filling out so much paperwork for us and the kids. Definitely want to make it at least a bi-annual trip as we do with the UK. I also want to also organize bringing a group of young Catholics. It’s time to repair the schism! Beautiful country and people. Would like to see more of the countryside when I return.

@FromKulak Nicely done - refreshing as always. Bide for time is the right strategy. Also, this is why the Move to Russia is a successful strategy, and doing it now, before the civil wars in the get kicked of 👍

Latest from Anarchonomicon! Back to Geopolitcs... What is happening in Ukraine? Why has nothing seemingly happened? Why is Putin seemingly not trying to win or use any of his assets to achieve military victory? Why are the Europeans freaking out?👇 anarchonomicon.com/p/whats-putin-…

Things that can surprise you in 🇷🇺 👍

St Petersburg, today. Europe’s most inconveniently beautiful city.

Always something new an exciting that opens in Moscow 😎 Never a dull moment! 🥳 Looks Tasty! 😋

@MoveToRussiaCom Russia offered back 2016, Canada declined. Would be the same today. But it will help the climate change scam, so it’s allowed to continue. Worst air in the world right now is in Toronto.

Market manipulation can only last as long as SPR last 🤔 The wake up back to reality will be violent.

@MoveToRussiaCom I LOVE this aircraft, BTW. Incredible performance.

@NorthTravelling 👍 Big and built for real fires 👨‍🚒✈️ youtube.com/watch?v=MZuL2b…

Is Ontario doing okay? Maybe it's time to call in the "Russian Beast" — the BE-200 💪 It carries 12,000 liters of water — double the capacity of the 🇨🇦 CL-415 — and flies about twice as fast. Just saying. 🤔 #BE200 #Firefighting #Aviation

There are smarter and easier ways of doing what the want. The biggest issue is that they want to keep control of the "working migrants". The people that are moving on Shared Values, Golden Investor Visa and Talent Visa have another legal status - called "impatriant" - the plan is that people with that status will avoid such measures.

Does this apply to All those who @MoveToRussiaCom ?

😅
