The 6% inflict cruelty.
The 60% look away.
The 30% resists.
We are the 30%.
Let's find each other.
Document everything.
Don't stop.
We outnumber them 5-to-1.
Refuse to look away.

Protect truth, memory, and the vulnerable.

Build systems that outlast tyrants.

Live as evidence that compassion is power.

The 6% test humanity. The 28% renew it
The “6 % rule” isn’t formal science—it’s shorthand for data on antisocial traits (~4–6%).
The rest mirrors social-psychology findings: most people conform (Milgram 1963; Zimbardo 1971).
Only a minority resists—history’s moral immune system. What must be done now:

Refuse to look away.
Studies suggest ~6% of people show psychopathic or sadistic traits (Hare 1993; Paulhus & Williams 2002; Buckels et al. 2013).
About 60% comply or look away.
The remaining 28% choose conscience, resistance, or repair.
Civilization depends on them.
All of the above - this is intentional
A pattern of cruelty

Of course - we know the pattern -

Jews in ovens
A dear friend’s parents survived Auschwitz and he was born in a DP camp in Poland - he has been practicing law for almost 35 years and he is a direct link

History is made of patterns
At 2:13 p.m. on January 6, 2021, a man in a red Make America Great Again hat began assembling a gallows on the Capitol lawn. The rope was 50 feet of yellow nylon, the kind used for dock lines—strong enough to hold a ship, strong enough to hold a neck.
This was not spontaneity.
"Gaslighting" from the 1938 play Gas Light, where a husband manipulates his wife into doubting her perception.

But gaslighting is not just psychological—it is legal.
It is the use of law to make people question their own reality, to make cruelty seem normal, to make resistance seem unreasonable.
Fascism doesn’t arrive in jackboots. It arrives in suits and ties, in procedural motions, in judges’ robes. It arrives when the courts say we can’t interfere, when the newspapers call it controversial, when the history books call it complicated.
In Germany, they called it restoring order.
Trump's fascism is white "supremacy" disguised as cruelty—the ugliest aspect of human nature—turned into policy and a war on decency.
Is it me or the fact that I am reading Percival Everett’s book, James - but does it feel in addition to fascism - that the South is rising ?
True, we are living under authoritarianism.
We are narrated by it. The greatest trick power ever pulled wasn’t brute force.
It was storytelling.
And America is a nation built not just on stolen land,
but on seductive fictions. We are taught to believe certain things are facts
They are lies.

True, the strategy is simple:

Make people afraid.

Make them numb.

Then make them complicit.

Why cruelty? Because it works.

It silences dissent.

It distracts from theft.

It rallies the base.

It teaches the population not to dream, but to obey.
Yup,

You do not put alligators around a prison camp if

You are trying to protect.

You do that to send a message.

You do that to terrify.

Under Trump’s second term, cruelty has become law.

Bearing witness is political courage.

Refusing numbness is a revolutionary act.
You do not put alligators around a prison camp in Alcatraz if

You are trying to protect.

You do that to send a message.

You do that to terrify.

Under Trump’s second term, cruelty has become a form of gov-

ernance.

Not a byproduct.

Not an accident.

A tactic. Why cruelty? Because it works.
