Not so much an allegory, but rather a type, as a representation, of what we are experiencing today. We really are highly manipulated by well trained specialists in propaganda and all the arts of persuasion.

Advertisers don’t actually have much of a clue if what they’re doing actually works or not. This kind of stuff is really difficult to measure.

The white-grievance and race war stuff from Beck and others are examples of this manipulation, by those who can profit off of the angst and fear.

Well, yeah. I just don’t get where you think this racist cottage industry somehow brings about a move to a population under control by drugs, genetically manipulated into different intelligence groups, and under a command economy.

Brave New World is a really, really, really extreme thing to claim we’re entering, and the main setup of Brave New World was one of total benevolence, not hate. The Alphas didn’t fear or hate the Deltas. So it seems like a pretty contradictory example to use when talking about incitement of race hatred. That society was completely complacent.
