The research on why ordinary people cheer for executions and extrajudicial killings has been sitting in peer-reviewed journals for decades. Nobody in MAGA media has wanted you to find it.
And this is why we must return to zero tolerance for hate speech, particularly by politicians, senior police figures, and all other authority figures. In fact, any occurrence must be sanctioned, because the studies show that it's not just ‘free speech’; it is used by some as permission for aggression; it's not free; it comes at a cost normally borne by someone else.
Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment, as it should be. What is unacceptable is the lack of decency and ethical behavior by politicians who engage in it. It's up to the voters to be sophisticated enough to vote with the understanding that casting a ballot for racist, misogynist and other bigoted knuckleheads has societal consequences.
Not in UK, or Europe. People Houston be accountable for the results of their actions. The whole point of this study was to show that if authority figures engage in this there are people susceptible to committing violence as a result. This is no more a surprise, than people who engage in public shaming of vulnerable teens can have catastrophic results.
Bear in mind the number of racist and militia groups who identify as Maga, and the violent count goes way up.
The Milgrim obedience experiment wasn't about obedience, it was about permission.
With the right permission structure, most people will electrocute the researcher.

Good luck with pitting a study against the First Amendment.
Like I said, this is not America.
"Not in UK, or Europe. People Houston be accountable for the results of their actions. " Can you translate?
Autocorrect changed ‘should' to Houston…..further proof that no computer should be trusted with anything……...
