If you're paying taxes you're not free. No one in this country has been free since the Fed and IRS were created. How can we even look in the mirror and call ourselves free?
US+Russian citizen here. They do have the concept of registration (basically imagine you had to prove the address on your drivers license) which is helpful for things like anti terrorist investigations, but I have lived in Russia several years and have not been asked for documents except once at a random stop in Moscow (they do have those). Definitely less police pressure than we had living in the US (where I was born and raised).
There has never been a moment where anyone in Russia has suggested that I do anything disloyal to the United States. It is a deep state illusion that there’s some kind of chasm between the countries. They have a great deal in common and their patriots even more so.
I moved for many reasons but the biggest one was that the vaccination + CPS regime was tightening its grip before the scamdemic and it was already affecting our family. We did what we had to do and don’t regret it. I’m here on this board because I love the real America, the one that is not controlled by organized crime. And so do Russians, including the government and the military.
Here’s the oath I took to receive citizenship (obviously this is translated from Russian):
“I (full name) voluntarily and knowingly taking the citizenship of the Russian Federation. I swear to respect the Constitution and the legislation of the Russian Federation, rights and freedoms of its citizens, to perform the duties of the citizen of the Russian Federation for the benefit of the state and society to protect the freedom and independence of the Russian Federation, to be loyal to Russia, to respect its culture, history, and traditions.”
I don’t see any issue or conflict. I’m publicly on record as seeing myself as a patriot of both countries.
It's true. When I was a kid we used to go to Tijuana, you know, for fun and then when I got a little older my family said we couldn't go anymore because things were getting so bad. Just recently i was telling my kids about a burger joint in california, but i cant take them there because communism

I remember talking about how in Russia they had to pass “papers please” checkpoints to travel.
At some point, it dawned on me that, “wait one minute…”
Very few of us have fixed it yet, of course.

How exactly do you swear allegiance to two different countries ? Do you have two wives as well?

I have no disagreement with anything you said. My question was how does one swear allegiance to two different countries ?

I guess that's my question. How can one be loyal to two different countries? If they go to war with each other, which one do you pick?
I think you could have picked a better example than Michigan.

Oh idk
