America is still here. But we can't stop what you're talking about -- a Hitleresgue future -- on our own. So that means everybody has to drop the hatred. People think it's wimpy emo crap to talk about intentionally being kind, dropping provocative language like "You're insane" or "Listen, asshole," like it's too PC and therefore anti-free speech to say hey guys, things are getting pretty fricking ultra-violent around us, maybe we should mellow the freak out and refrain from provocative, pre-emptive, shocking and awful actions and reactions intended to make the other guy understand...</div> <li class="comment icon-comment"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100108162929/http://dynamic.boingboing.net/cgi-bin/mt/mt-cp.cgi?__mode=view&amp;blog_id=1&amp;id=37466">ArghMonkey</a> commented on <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100108162929/http://www.boingboing.net/2009/12/11/dr-peter-watts-canad.html#comment-663384">Dr Peter Watts, Canadian science fiction writer, beaten and arrested at US border</a> <div class="excerpt">Does anyone doubt how sick and fascist the u.s. has become?
