Spike, you beautiful lunatic.
Google AI generated result for a search for the line “Boston pulled the motherfucking emergency brake,” from Spike Lee’s Highest2Lowest. The information is very incorrect.

So, if people really want to see a guy from Denmark read America for absolute filth, especially about the way it chews up immigrants, there’s this movie:

Um, this is possibly the best book I’ve ever read? #booksky

Svetlana Alexievich
Paragraph of text from page 464 of Svetlana Alexievich’s Secondhand Time: "... If they bring back the camps, there will be plenty of people who'll want to be guards there. Tons! I remember one of them ... When you looked him in the eye, he seemed like a normal person, except that he was foaming at the mouth. They moved like sleepwalkers, as though they were in a trance. They kept swinging left, right, left, right. One man fell down and they put a shield on top of him and started dancing on it. These meatheads... two meters tall... eighty or one hundred kilos each, you know— they feed them well. Those riot police and special ops boys, they really are special ... They're like Ivan the Terrible's oprichniks*.. You don't want to believe that what they're doing is of their own free will, you resist the thought with all your might. You fight it with the last of your strength. They need to eat. It's just some guy... all he's seen of life was school and then the army. Now he makes more money than a professor. Afterward, it's always the same old story ... like clockwork... He'll say he was acting on orders, they didn't know anything, it has nothing to do with them. Even today, they find a thousand excuses: 'Who's going to feed my family?' I took an oath.' I couldn't break ranks even if I'd wanted to' You can do this with anyone. Or at least with a lot of people..." .. I'm only twenty years old. How am I supposed to live now? I'm worried that when I get out and go into the city, I'll be too scared to raise my eyes off the ground..."
