You have movies & books such as George Orwell's 1984, THX 1138, BladeRunner, Brazil, Brave New World & countless others. All of these stories start by having the viewer/reader already in the muck. The grim future is present time upon reading the first page or immediately when watching the movie...but most of these visions don't show the reader how it started or how things started to slip. You open the book or begin the movie & you are thrown into the future & how miserable life is in that future.
The reason for this is because this sort of major shift in reality is accomplished by incrementalism; a little bit here & a little bit there. Most people couldn't imagine a real world as depicted in these books & movies simply because we Americans would never let it happen...unless it happens very slow over a long period of time. This is not very entertaining for the reader or viewer if we had to be shown how "their" world got to where it is once we settled into our seat or favorite reading chair.
The best example of incrementalism that I have heard is the boiling frog analogy.
If you place a frog in a pot of boiling water, then the frog will immediately jump out.
If you place a frog in room temp water & slowly turn up the heat, then the frog stays in the water until it has died!
Still not getting through?
You're at the pool & the water is freezing. No way are you jumping in so you decide to sit on the edge of the pool & you put your feet in the water. After your feet have acclimated to the frigid water, you cautiously lower yourself into the water one inch at a time. By the time you get all the way in, the water feels fine.
Why is that? The water is still freezing but you got used to it over time!!!
We are not going to wake up one morning & see everyone wearing futuristic silver uniforms enjoying their Soilent Green! History & logic has proven that the best way to change a person or a people is by incrementalism. If you get the people to believe (over time) that a change is their idea or is for the greater good, then you have compliance & obedience.
This article answers the question of how, in those "Big Brother" style movies & books, the world allowed the dystopian mindset to overcome the world. INCREMENTALISM!
I felt sick to my stomach when I read this article & watched the promo video, as I have heard it called now. What are they promoting? Your children are not yours! Your children are part of a collective! WTF!!! We have President Obama saying that business owners didn't "do it on their own" & now we have mainstream media saying our children aren't ours either.
Will there be a new branch of the government?
Introducing:
The Ministry of Family & Social Planning
