It's almost unfathomable how stupid they are.

And how dangerously manically hungry for POWER over every moment of our lives, every decision we make, every move we contemplate and every single thought we have.

Panicked people don't think clearly. They're already built themselves echo-chambers that just hype the panic. The groupthink plays whack-a-mole on absolutely anyone daring to fail to 100% oppose The Donald. So Donald plays them like a fiddle simply picking out a position fiercely enough they have to oppose it - and they do. "Squirrel!'

Check out the Stanford Prisoner Experiment from the 70's. Power grab is not surprising in the least. The movie is on Netflix and is shockingly scary. Well worth the watch given our current situation.

Zimbardo later acknowledged he encouraged the "guards" to act as evil as possible. Total sham.

Ive always thought that can see the camera had much to do with the roles that were played too. The passive inmates and controlling guards attitudes were played up because they all knew they were being recorded on camera. Guards dressed up and even look like they are acting tough for the camera. Thats much more interesting now when you relate that to everyone carrying a camera phone in their pockets now. Every social justice asshole makes sure its on camera do they can post it later.
