YouTube Influencers in Russia Push AntiSanctions Talking Points
"In late 2023, Joe Schutzman says he decided to move his family from Kansas to the Moscow region because of his frustration with LGBTQ+ “propaganda” in the US.
In a recent 17-minute YouTube monologue, bespectacled and wearing a black turtleneck, Schutzman describes himself as a “traditional Catholic father of six children.”
He goes on to complain that America has “abandoned God” and is “promoting IVF babies,” suggesting that Russian religious conservatism offers a more appealing lifestyle.
“After spending so many years saying that I don't believe the mainstream media, I didn't really find out how programmed I was until I visited, thinking that Russia was this horrible depressing country,” he said. “So I had to go out and see it for myself, and it couldn't be more untrue.”"
