Stanford Prison Experiment, a social psychology study in which college students became prisoners or guards in a simulated prison environment. The experiment, funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, took place at Stanford University in August 1971. It was intended to measure the effect of role-playing, labeling, and social expectations on behaviour over a period of two weeks. However, mistreatment of prisoners escalated so alarmingly that principal investigator Philip G. Zimbardo terminated the experiment after only six days.
More than 70 young men responded to an advertisement about a âpsychological study of prison life,â and experimenters selected 24 applicants who were judged to be physically and mentally healthy. The paid subjectsâthey received $15 a dayâwere divided randomly into equal numbers of guards and prisoners. Guards were ordered not to physically abuse prisoners and were issued mirrored sunglasses that prevented any eye contact. Prisoners were âarrestedâ by actual police and handed over to the experimenters in a mock prison in the basement of a campus building. Prisoners were then subjected to indignities that were intended to simulate the environment of a real-life prison. In keeping with Zimbardoâs intention to create very quickly an âatmosphere of oppression,â each prisoner was made to wear a âdressâ as a uniform and to carry a chain padlocked around one ankle. All participants were observed and videotaped by the experimenters.
On only the second day the prisoners staged a rebellion. Guards then worked out a system of rewards and punishments to manage the prisoners. Within the first four days, three prisoners had become so traumatized that they were released. Over the course of the experiment, some of the guards became cruel and tyrannical, while a number of the prisoners became depressed and disoriented.

I've worn a mask for all of six seconds, walking into the hardware, and it made me want to kill everyone in the store.
They let me take it off, LOL, smart move.

Since you're on Parler are you following Gen Flynn
Sure am. At least, I hope it's him, lol.
ETA: says Gen. Flynn joined Parler a year ago? How can that be? That doesn't make sense to me, as it just came online.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth on Thursday announced she'll hold up the confirmation of more than 1,000 military promotions until Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirms that the promotion of impeachment witness Army Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman won't be blocked.
"Our military is supposed to be the ultimate meritocracy," Duckworth said. "It is simply unprecedented and wrong for any Commander in Chiefto meddle in routine military matters at all
Article II Section 2 of the U.S. Constitution, the Commander in Chief clause, states that "[t]he President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States."

A combat veteran of the Iraq War, Duckworth served as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot and suffered severe combat wounds, which caused her to lose both of her legs and some mobility in her right arm. She was the first female double amputee from the war.
Despite her grievous injuries, she sought and obtained a medical waiver that allowed her to continue serving as a lieutenant colonel in the Illinois Army National Guard along with her husband, Major Bryan W. Bowlsbey, a signal officer and fellow Iraq War veteran. Both have since retired from the armed forces.

We have huge conflicts in-coming unless Trump/Barr/Durham produce everything they've got showing how crooked, sadistic, and corrupt many current and former top Democrats are. As someone said earlier, the crimes against children would cause 90% of Democrats to lose all hope and faith in their party.
