Ultimately, influencing and changing cultural values are what these policies aim to do. The logic is that familiarity will breed conformity and a new sense of community.

Excellent points, Sigaba.
In addition, the so-called red (conservative) areas will face more distress than the blue (liberal) areas.
As we are concentrated into urban areas, we become easier to observe - and, easier to control.
Rhetorical question: What happens to the sheep once they are herded into a small pen, after the gate is locked? Do they supply wool, or do they supply mutton?
