Hello, we are a group of psychology researchers from the University of Kent, UK. It would be a huge help if anyone from any background who is interested would fill out our quick survey (18+ years old only) about your views of politics, society, and more.

Fill out the survey here: https://universityofkent.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8ICkX7mBre5IGpM

We are posting here because we hope to collect responses from a wide range of political perspectives and backgrounds. Please let us know if you would like a summary of your responses in comparison to others once the data collection is complete.

The survey takes 12-14 minutes to complete, and we are happy to respond to any queries or questions. Please private message us to avoid giving away the point of the study to others.

Thanks for your time.

Edit: The survey is now closed! Thank you very much for your time, we will be sure to post the results up here when they're ready.

Targets in Cuba, Eastern Europe, the Middle East and North Korea; exercises run by mysterious men in black; Tudor watches as an E&E plan – the crazy story of Special Forces’ Green Light program, better known as the “backpack nukes.” By Jack Murphy and Sean D. Naylor, on The High Side.

The latest from Jack Murphy and Sean D. Naylor at The High Side. It's amazing how far the CIA went to keep the details of this training secret, even from the Green Berets doing the training!

How difficult would it be for a good man, or good woman, to torture a bad person for a good reason? I don’t expect any first hand accounts but I’m watching zero dark thirty thinking to myself…it can’t be easy to torture another person. I feel like no matter how evil a person is, unless they hurt your loved one, torturing somebody can’t be easy. Are they trained for that? Essentially… are they emotionally desensitized to prepare for that type of work?
