The KGB seems to have a natural flair for this sort of stuff. The sort of behavioral modification that a stupider group might only manage to do with invasive surveillance can be done in low tech ways by organically creepy people who know how to pump people, exploit their weaknesses, fears etc. In Trump they had excellent raw material as well.

Between organically creepy people and basically creepy people equipped with surveillance tech, this is a creep's paradise..for the rest of us, it is hell of course.
I cannot believe that dreck that tabloids, garden variety sexual harassers and other such creeps not to mention your village gossip could do better is now considered some sort of behavioral science.
