Little by little, bit by bit, they are changing the parameters of acceptable behavior. Dissenters are denounced as "woke' and "politically correct".

(25,749 posts)Our military was tasked with controlling Nazi sympathetic areas of Europe after WW2. Nazi sympathies did not suddenly end with the surrender of Germany.
Instead of using force, we developed group control techniques (from think tanks) to keep the populace in pocket. During the Fifties, these techniques were adapted and honed by commercial advertisers. Today, thanks to people volunteering tons of personal info on social media, folks can be targeted with influencing methods with scary accuracy.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
