I think it's disconcerting as a white, American born guy how many people who choose to immigrate here (aside from refugees and the most desperate) are reactionary "gusanos" of their respective nations. I think it throws a wrench into the whole "respecting immigrants" narrative. It creates a lot of cognitive dissonance to me and I'm sure a lot of others feel similar.
That's not an accident, that's an intentional choice on behalf of Western governments. You basically can't immigrate to the US without being a rabid anticom, doubly so if you're coming from a country that has a notable socialist presence.
I think there's also a selection bias at play. Anybody who would move to the US from a country that has even close to a similar standard of living is much more likely to be some type of right wing shithead, simply by virtue of wanting to live in the US
yeah, the great thing is the law also has stuff about "totalitarian" parties which ought to also include nazis, except I'm guessing the amount of times the law has actually been applied to them is pretty low (if it's even above zero)
Don't fall in to that trap. Lots of immigrants are just regular people with no strong ideological affiliation. For every Gusano there are a ton of Somali people who came here as war refugees.
There have been lots of good responses here and I want to clarify that I have no ill will towards immigrants. I have been involved in the fight against an ICE detention center in my area. It's just interesting to see how their are often vocal groups of immigrants who have very reactionary beliefs and it's frustrating because they by no means represent the majority of their country. However, as pointed out by other commentors, these voices are usually boosted by western media.
Lol I know the Confederate flag goes way back in the us military but somehow this takes me by surprise. Most on brand shit I can think of though: Murican helo coming in, roll out the beacon!

Ukranian gusanos are no different from the rest of them, after all.

that checks out I grew up with a guy who was always talking about murdering Muslims and he's the only person I know who moved to America
We love to live in a country that attracts the absolute worst people from all over the world, don't we folks? We looooove it
I'm actually a bit worried about him cause last I heard of him he was ranting about black people and then bought a gun and went off grid
:what-the-hell:
United States of America? :geordi-no:
United Fascists of the World :geordi-yes:
honestly, at least getting all the assholes in one place could have certain strategic benefits
:posadist-nuke:
Send us your tied, your weak, unwanted fascists
I think the US literally has a law that prevents you from immigrating if you've ever been in a communist party, so the gusanos are basically by design.
Holy shit, I wouldn't have guessed. I'm gonna get some mileage out of this link, that's for sure.
Freedom of speech
And fascists are allowed.

Lol, I'm accustomed to черв'як, but I'm from the East.
I guess we’re just going to ignore all the communist Jews who fought alongside and in the red army
Also don’t ask Canadians what job WWII Ukrainian refugees had prior to being accepted into Canada

Australia armor flew literal actual swatstika flags in Afghanistan a few years ago too
Australian SAS also used a confederate flag as a signal for American helicopters to land

This is funny because lots of Ukrainians fought for the Nazis.
Unfortunately, peanut butter
