It really is 1984 - drugs to cure fear of migrants
Quote:
Oxytocin and social norms reduce xenophobia
Summary:How can xenophobia be reduced and altruism strengthened? Researchers have shown in a new study that the bonding hormone oxytocin together with social norms significantly increases the willingness to donate money to refugees in need, even in people who tend to have a skeptical attitude towards migrants.

Basically, some scientists gave drugs to a bunch of Germans to see if they would be nicer to refugees and it looks like it worked. Then they gave people drugs and guilt (by telling them everyone else was more generous) and the participants were even nicer to refugees.

The result was astounding. "Now, even people with negative attitudes towards migrants donated up to 74 percent more to refugees than in the previous round,"
Social engineering mixed with a good dose of drugs...just what we need.
