Are you now, or have you ever been, a Russian spy? Have you been accused of being one yet?
I have been forced to come to the conclusion that I am a Russian spy. I hate to admit this about myself, but the facts speak for themselves and I can no longer be in denial about it. Day by day, it is getting tougher to look at myself in the mirror.
No one ever suddenly became evil overnight. Except in the movies, it is always a long slow descent into the immorality of profiting off the misery of others. So it was with me. Even so, I should have recognized it much earlier.
While friends and neighbors all around me lost their jobs because of Russian’s meddling in our internal affairs, while racism skyrocketed here because of Russian propaganda, while Russian-inspired voter apathy kept 40%+ of eligible voters from voting, while Russia tricked us into invading one country after another, I carried on as if everything was business as usual and drew my weekly check in Rubles.
However, with my bank account now filled with Kremlin gold, with two semi-permanent house guests named Petrov and Ivanka, and with a Siberian Huskie sleeping menacingly under my desk, I can drain the last shot of Vodka from the bottle and admit what everyone else around me already knows...I have been duped into spying for Russia.
Oh, the humanities! Oh, the shame! Oh, the villainy! What have I done?
I have betrayed my own country by being blind to the international conspiracy directed by Russia. Like my own mother before me, I drank the fluoridated water supplied by the KGB Putin. Don’t let it happen to you.
I have tried to warn my neighbors of this threat posed by Russian spies like me, but they pretend to be too busy looking for work, avoiding harassment for how they self-identify, awaiting deportation, or awaiting incarceration for driving while black to listen. I think they think I am crazy and irrelevant, but maybe I am just in the wrong neighborhood.
