@IAmJeffMcCulley@l3v1at4an@moteckthedog Nothing confusing about it. It's Canada; they are trained to attack and take down white men that think terrorism is bad.
I don’t blame the foreigners as much, cause they are encouraged and get paid well to do this. They are too dumb and/or immoral to really understand or care about the danger they are pushing on others.
I blame the Communists that pretend to have morality and should know better, but are actually evil, tyrannical scum that doesn’t give a fuck about anybody but themselves, and hurting as many people as possible.
They vote for Democrats.
@BullTheoryio Great, I can’t wait to see the horrific unintended consequences this will unleash that they will have to cover up and/or blame someone or something else for.
@OwenBenjamin Spot on. I thought this standup was funny, because I’m laughing at the comedian. I’m not sure she realized that the audience was laughing at her.
Every obedience experiment in history had the same overlooked finding.
Not everyone complied.
In Milgram’s lab, 35% refused to deliver the final shock. In Asch’s line experiments, 25% never conformed, not once, across any trial. In Zimbardo’s prison, at least one guard refused to dehumanize. One prisoner demanded a lawyer instead of a doctor and broke the psychological frame entirely.
We spent decades studying the ones who obeyed.
We barely asked what made the others different.
That question matters more now than it ever has.
The resisters in the COVID era were not difficult to find. Physicians who filed exemptions and lost their licenses. Nurses who walked away from careers rather than mandate patients into decisions they hadn’t genuinely chosen. Scientists who published contrary data knowing what it would cost them. Parents who stood alone at school board meetings. Ordinary people who simply said, quietly, without drama , no.
What made them different?
Research consistently identifies a cluster of factors. Not personality traits you either have or don’t. Situational and cognitive patterns that can be cultivated.
First: prior reflection on authority. The resisters had usually thought, before the crisis, about the limits of institutional trust. They weren’t cynics. They were people who had already asked the question “under what conditions would I refuse?” before anyone was asking them to comply.
Second: a concrete reference point outside the consensus. A value, a principle, an oath, a relationship that existed independently of the institutional structure demanding compliance. Something the system couldn’t reach.
Third: at least one other person. Milgram found that a single dissenting confederate reduced compliance dramatically. The resisters rarely stood entirely alone. They found each other. Sustained each other. Gave each other permission.
Fourth: the willingness to tolerate social pain. Not immunity to it. Tolerance of it. They felt the pressure. They felt the exclusion. They chose the discomfort of integrity over the comfort of belonging.
None of this is innate. All of it is learnable.
The most important thing Milgram, Asch, and Zimbardo taught us is not how fragile conscience is.
It’s that conscience can hold, if you’ve trained it, named its limits, and found even one other person willing to hold theirs beside you.
Build that now. Because the experiment is always running.
Until then stay humble.
@scion_x_ We don’t need any more observable experiments anymore. This stuff always proves itself.
Communism isn’t an economic model, it’s just pure destruction, suffering, and tyranny, disguised an intellectual, economic model.
@MichaelAArouet It’s a fully corrupt, hidden, Communist system.
It’s the easiest thing to fix, too.
Simply ban the government from putting people in prison for practicing medicine without a license.
All the arguments against giving women the vote were right.
It turned out even worse than feared.
Involving women in politics has harmed men, women, children, and civilization itself.
Power is ultimately held by those who are willing to take it by force.
Men were given the vote so that they would not need to take it by force.
Women are incapable of taking power by force and therefore have no natural right to power.
Women also have no natural instinct for leadership. Men evolved to provide leadership for both men and women.
Most suicidal empathy and demands for DEI and equity are the result of feminine influence on politics.
Empathy for criminals and terrorists, and opposition to the death penalty, is largely feminine.
The desire for safe spaces, censorship, and for elevating being nice over being rational is feminine.
The feminization of civilization is the weakening of civilization.
Giving women the vote was a mistake.
@Breaking57 I don’t think Costco employees deserve jail time for filming their customers shopping and their customers license plates without their consent. It is private property. They can also trespass people on their property who are more transparent about filming on their property.
