I mean never forget the Stanford Prison Experiment.
Even if you weren’t a sadistic genocidal psychopath, put on a uniform and go guard a secret prison where you literally are the law and order without oversight or consequence to your actions, and you and your guard buddies will soon become it.
That’s why oversight and transparency is so critical in civilized democracies, and even then it’s a constant uphill struggle.
These people started out sadistic genocidal psychopaths, just imagine the things we will never learn that they did… The fucking horrors…
Let’s do forget that experiment, since the “guards” were urged to act aggressive towards the prisoners. The “researchers” deliberately created hostility between the groups.

Yeah that criticism might have validity for how to interpret the results but this specific situation still matches that new interpretation.
Yeah fuck that experiment. Has any experiment generated more misanthrope than The Stanford Prison experiment?
