I don't have any scientific study to back it up, but through observation your clearly not an authority on forensics, politics and social psychology.

Trying to relate a study designed to see if Nazi war criminals were psychologically incapable of defying orders to online forum members having similar interests and political views is absurd. You dare claim your statements are based on science? You spout rhetoric about a subject without refering to any credible resource, yet beride others who voice their opposing position if they can't offer up irrefutable evidence.

Maybe you're an authority on being argumentative, but you've completely misinterpretied Milgram and his peers studies when forming your own Hypothesis. If you observe 90% of the people you confront as seemingly incapable of independent thought, maybe it's because they disagree with you so vehemently, your conclusions are flawed and in fact it's only 10% that aren't thinking independently. Thinking independently doesn't make you right, just as agreeing with the majority doesn't make you wrong.

Maybe if you look at your party as an authority figure I havent misinterpreted anything.
