It really is 1984 - drugs to cure fear of migrants

[wctriumph]

Who the ^u#- pays to perform these studies and why would they do so in the first place? What a waste of time and money.

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.



Social engineering mixed with a good dose of drugs...just what we need.

That's what the Germans have always been good at. Didn't Ya know.

Sounds more Brave New World than 1984 ... but your point still stands.

You're right. I was thinking of when the main guy in 1984 was sent to the Ministry of Love. You know, to drug and torture him to make him love Big Brother and the party agenda.

But yeah, Brave New World and the drug soma is a much better analogy. Scary analogy.

Interesting to note that Oxytocin isn't actually a drug, but a hormone. It's the one that gets released when you do something like hug your kid.

Point taken but it's really just semantics. Anything you sniff up your nose (which is what they did in the study, administered oxytocin via nasal spray) that results in an altered state of mind is a drug.

I didn't see anywhere in the study that said if it was a natural hormone or synthetic either.

Perhaps you've missed the herion epidemic from people who couldn't afford oxy, after their script ran out.

That would be OxyContin/Oxycodone, not Oxytocin.

Oh they've been lusting after a blue pill for some time. What do you think the NFL is?

If red-blooded Americans cared half as much about the country as they do their football team, we'd be much better for it. Get that aggression out on Sunday so you don't take it to work Monday, or worse, election Tuesday.

The morality here is settled. The thought leaders know what's best and the ends justify the means. People are being robbed, raped, and murdered in Europe over this right now. The folks in power know these consequences and accept them for the greater good.

Give these people a monopoly on violence and there's no end to the human suffering and destruction they will cause is the search for their utopia.

not Oxytocin.

I wondered about that.
