Description: Numerous studies have shown us that those given authority are more likely to lie, cheat and steal, while also being harsher in their judgments of others for doing these same things. Science tells us people with power feel less compassion for the suffering of others.
Previous experiments also show us that those who are obedient to authority are capable of the worst forms of murder, and tolerant of the worst forms of abuse. They will even chastise those of us who resist corrupt authority. They become facilitators of evil, believing that obedience to authority absolves them of personal responsibility.
This is the fifth draft of a renegade psychological experiment on authoritarian sociopathy, specifically on police brutality. We aim to show the world beyond a shadow of a doubt, that power corrupts absolutely, and corrupt authority deserves no obedience.
Interesting front about plagiarism being about love, and who wants love policed. Hmmm
- Stamford experiment just got worse
- Milgram experiment
- Government has the monopoly of violence in a designated area
Nothing new here, really. Refresh yourselves with the videos linked to above so you don't forget how we can all act like either laboratory rats or merciless tyrants.
Just the two hazard signs as rating
