Not sure if this is a full on rant..I dont want it taken as one..but rather observations of a person who can't figure out why some people have to be the way they are.
Do you wonder why some people just can’t wear their mask and be happy without screaming and mask shaming people for choosing not to? Some people feel a sense of authority over others , you know..like the hall monitors in school? These are the same type of people early Nazi Germany that turned in friends, neighbors and even family to the Reich.
The social influences of obedience to authority, whether the authority is moral or corrupt is very powerful. How powerful? You should read about Zimbardo’s Prison Experiment. This was a 1970s program at the Stamford Psychology Dept where they set up a mock prison and some subjects played the part of inmates and others were prison guards. The experiment was planned to last 2 weeks but had to be stopped in less than 1 week because some of the guards became so controlling in their roll in getting the prisoner participants to obey that they were using mental abuse and even physical torture.
When a Goverment issues stay and home orders or mask mandates, there will always be a certain percentage of the people who fall into line and obey without question and they in turn feel it is their job to force others to obey. This is what we are dealing with folks. We are being divided on economic levels, race relations and now with these mandates.
If they can keep us fighting ourselves, they can move their agenda forward without anyone really noticing.
