You fail to understand the difference between a society where speaking politic with your friend is a tabou because you may end up beating each other up, and one society where people speak politic everyday even if they have different view because they tolerate each other point of view. I'd argue USA is in the first case, 'either you're with me or against me'. That's a fundamentally retarded way of thinking, think middle age with its religion war, and end up blocking any possible social progress. Thats what Putin and other dictator want.
