If you dont know what the Milgram Experiment was, check out this short video. Essentially, it was an experiment to study obedience to authority. This is how concentration camps happened in Germany and Poland. This is how Pol Pots hit squads happened. This is how Japanese were rounded up in America in the 1940s. And this is why the State and the belief in authority are so incredibly dangerous. This same test has been repeated many times and done all over the world, with virtually the same result, between 60 and 70% of people would give a LETHAL shock to a stranger if told to by a perceived authority figure. I dont know about you, but that scares the shit out of me. https://youtube/watch?v=eTX42lVDwA4&spfreload=10
