How To Tell If Your BFF Is Actually The Dictator Of A Foreign Superpower
We’ve all been there. It’s only natural to assume that your friend has your best interests at heart and it can be absolutely devastating to find out that this isn’t the case. While it never feels good to learn that your bestie is actually trying to sabotage your entire country, accepting reality is the best way to deal. So here are signs that your BFF might be hiding something from you.
Promises to win your presidential election for you
Friends who support you and your goals = AMAZING! But if your BFF seems a little tooooo confident in your presidential victory this may be cause for question. Ask yourself how your friend could have acquired the means to guarantee this win. It’s also important to take a good hard look at your bestie’s maybe not so selfless intentions. Could he have other motives besides helping you to achieve your career dreams?
Insists on hanging out in private
So not cool! A true friend is not ashamed to talk to you in public…unless he has something else to hide. Ask him why he wants all your hangouts to be off the books. He needs to earn some major friendship points to make up for this one.
Wants you to support his illegal seizure of Crimea
We all make mistakes. Duh! But breaking international laws is kinda a big deal. It’s important for friends to hold each other accountable, so if your BFF happens to destabilize a region don’t let him off the hook. Blind support is NOT cute.
Inspires you to unconstitutionally prolong your presidency
After seeing your bestie’s 15 year stretch in power you may be thinking about going down the same road yourself. While it’s totes normal to admire your friends, if you find yourself dreaming about extending your term limits, then your BFF might not be a great influence after all.
Places bounties on your country’s troops
Okay, so this one is a HUGE red flag!!! Ending a friendship can be hard, but if your BFF is incentivizing the murder of citizens you were sworn to protect, then it’s probably time to drop his ass. Some things you just can’t let slide.
Ugh, it feels like you can’t trust anyone nowadays! Don’t worry if you need time to process this revelation. But when you’re ready, be sure to confront your friend and let him know that total honesty is super important to you and also you’re pretty sure that he’s a foreign autocrat.
