White House creates 'nudge squad' to shape behavior - CowboyByte
Well, hello. The KGB had this program in the Soviet Union. The Stasi had it in East Germany. It only works on the weak of mind and the terrified. I am neither, although I am currently in transition to mildly alarmed at the crap I see coming from this administration. My question is what if the nudging from the "Nudge Squad" has little or no effect on certain members of society. What happens then? Does nudging evolve into pushing? Then into shoving? Then into threats of forced behavioral training? Re-education camps?
and just WhoTF is going to be manning these "Nudge Squads"? Only power tripping officious little pricks will qualify for this position. Or radical muslims.
"Step by step; inch by inch" they are chipping away at basic freedoms until finally, one day, you're going to wake up and find you're living in a foreign country and there will be zero you can do about it, because the "Nudge Squad" will show up and nudge your ass into compliance.
