That’s the main conclusion of a report released on October 15 by New Mexico Voices for Children.

CHAPTER FIVE – HI THERE, MIND IF I RUN YOUR LIFE?

THE NANNY STATE: aka busybody politics. Politicians, bureaucrats and citizen boards know more about how to live your life, manage your health, and raise your kids than you do. Mandatory recycling? No thanks.

THE BULLY STATE: Nannying dressed up in stewardship clothing, threatening people rather than nudging. It is state sponsored shaming, coercion and propaganda. It is often associated with the authoritarian (rather than economic) component of fascism.
