Following Damar Hamlin’s Freak Collapse, It’s the Mindlessly Obedient Vaccine Fanatics Who Are Truly Cruel
At the same time the perpetual lockdown lovers and “vaccine” fanatics were once again shouting about “THE SCIENCE” following the on-field collapse of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin on Monday, I was noticing the uncanny similarity that those hateful nags have with some of the people in the newish docu-series “Don’t Pick Up the Phone.”
The Netflix production revisits the shocking series of events entailing a man’s phone calls to dozens of fast food joints wherein he convinced employees to humiliate and sexually violate other staff members and customers in the restaurant. Typically, he would tell a manager he was a detective or police officer and that he had received a complaint that one of the workers on duty had stolen money from a customer. He would say that either the accused staffer could consent to a strip search, administered by the manager, or there would have to be an arrest.
It remains a confounding mystery that those who received the calls willingly followed orders to perform cavity searches on coworkers right there in the restaurant, with no proof that they were talking to legit law enforcement — obviously he wasn’t — and no hesitation as to whether it felt wrong. But one theory that a psychologist interviewed for the show proposed was the phenomenon recreated by social scientist Stanley Milgram in the 1960s. In a series of experiments, Milgram instructed participants to quiz actors who were hooked up to a shock machine, and each time an actor answered a question wrongly, the participant was to administer a painful zap (which wasn’t real — but the participants thought it was).
“Stark authority was pitted against the subjects’ strongest moral imperatives against hurting others, and, with the subjects’ ears ringing with the screams of the victims, authority won more often than not,” Milgram wrote. He concluded that “the extreme willingness of adults to go to almost any lengths on the command of an authority constitutes the chief finding of the study and the fact most urgently demanding explanation.” (Read more from “Following Damar Hamlin’s Freak Collapse, It’s the Mindlessly Obedient Vaccine Fanatics Who Are Truly Cruel” HERE)
