Russian Sleeper Cell

by Nathan Monk

Every day we see injustices happen all around us that could be resolved by breaking a rule and we collectively do nothing. Wars rage and famines starve, children are slaughtered, and we remain silent. We fear consequences or the crosshairs moving away from the oppressed and toward us, so we let terror win and choke out our voice.

A great deal of offense happens in this world because someone has violated an invisible rule we have curated for ourselves and then attempted to impose on everyone else.
