Stanford prison experiment wholly debunked?

Even so, it would at least somewhat support Milgram's experiment regarding obedience and abuse.

All these tut-tutting liberals, we know where they'd have been when King and Ali were making their principled stands back in the 60s, the stuff that they feign reverence for now.

The collapse of American power has been evident for some time, but it is nonetheless fascinating as fuck to watch it play out in real time in these symbolic moments and gestures. And, as these things tend to happen, that it would be sped along by a leader of the full-throated, garishly patriotic and lustfully militaristic party is as perfect as it is probable (Nixon keeps on going to China).

It's all stuff that's so unlikely and yet couldn't happen any other way.

In the same way that if meaningful gun control ever comes to the US, it'll be a conservative who does it. Possibly related to demographics that make white people a minority and clamps are desired on all those scary people having guns.
