I've been studying the subject a lot lately. It's not particularly easy to just 'switch sides' physically. Even the handful of nations who will sell citizenship (e.g., Turkey) do want upwards of half a million $$$.

You're studying something irrelevant. You don't need citizenship to pursue freedom in the ~~dictatorship~~ country of your choice. Russia will happily hand out permanent resident permits to pretty much anyone, all you need is a job.

If he moved to Russia, I would expect him to continue his anti-main stream media/establishment views and ultimately end up in the gulhag for supporting the West, or lgtbq rights, or freedom of speech or something along those lines.

That's a real danger for sure. Your list neglect to include what most of you guys incorrectly (in my opinion) consider 'anti-semitism'. Today, and off and on at various times in the past, any evaluation or critique of anything said or done by anyone who claims to be a 'Jew' is 'anti-semitism' and is in varying degrees unlawful. Russia has been a poster-child for this phenomenon by virtue of the nature of it's Bolshevik revolution 100 years ago, and plenty of the effects of this unfortunate event seem to linger on.

Since, by nature, I'm outspoken about ethical issues, and something of a specialist in system analysis, I end up calling out the 'protected classes' a fair bit, and often enough it hits a raw nerve of 'the tribe'. That's in part because there actually is a 'there there' when it comes to tribal projects having an outsized influence politically, socially, and economically in many parts of the world. If the 'Gabonese Mafia' was having a similar impact on American society it is a fair bet that I would be accused of anti-gabonism. That would be even more the case if they exhibited at a fundamental level an belief in Gabonese racial and ethnic superiority and chosen-ness which I find repulsive, and used it as a basis and excuse for their activities.
