With the very telling conclusion that contains the lines –
“The powerful impose more normative restraints on others, but believe they themselves can act with less restraint. The less powerful, in contrast, are less inclined to impose norms on others, but more rigidly follow these themselves. This means that people with power not only take what they want because they can do so unpunished, but also because they intuitively feel they are entitled to do so. Conversely, people who lack power not only fail to get what they need because they are disallowed to take it, but also because they intuitively feel they are not entitled to it. Further, we found these effects even after minimal, unaware lexical priming manipulations.”
How true, and it only took three people educated to PhD level to find this out…
Progressive liberals are afraid of guns. Suits me, as they are not competent to have them. People that think that they and theirs are more valuable then me and mine are psychopaths and need to be institutionalized as they are a danger to everyone. pg
