Oxytocin-enforced norm compliance reduces xenophobic outgroup rejection

TL;DR: This is not the "Hey check out this cool tech!" post. This is a "We live in a dystopia." post. This is a study regarding using introduced oxytocin to make people more receptive to outsiders. They use the example of refugees for the soft gloved approach, but the applications of the study are limitless in the fields of influence and general mind control given the specific thing it's intended to do regarding increasing an empathetic reaction towards something people would normally be hostile or hesitant towards. The idea proposed is absolutely nefarious based around the idea of it being intended to make people think and act towards an agenda, with less politically divisive potential uses including making a population submit to media and occupying forces. And apparently it works.
