Fully agree. I'm taking a trip to Russia soon. It's my families motherland, such a beautiful country with a rich history. People keep calling me a spy, and it's hurtful, especially when they pull out their identification. -- Jokes aside I really do agree. Internet culture has come up with some of the greatest, and dumbest, collectivist thoughts and this meme is a great example of the latter.

Edit: Keep up friends. "Motherland" "Russian" "Spy" "Identification" "Jokes aside"

Depending on your citizenship, going to Russia might be simply dangerous for you.

I'm quite positive going to Russia would be dangerous for me regardless of my ethnicity or background 😄. They really do have some neat brutalist art and architecture, but I can see that from the safety of my couch with Bald & Bankrupt.

Fuck that, Russia doesn’t deserve a cent of tourism money. Would you have gone to Germany in 1939 if it was your families homeland?

I'm a Russian spy, and the FBI agent is pulling out their identification when questioning me.
