We went from a society where it was considered intolerable to perform acts of sodomy to one where it's a protected class; we went from a society where inter-racial relationships were considered as immoral as homosexual relationships to one where you are persecuted for even suggesting they might be immoral... in half a century. To suggest that that is "persuasion" and not "brainwashing" is irrational. But the biggest example of brainwashing is the war on tobacco, which is now being expanded to fast foods (but not mind-altering substances! Oh no! Must keep the citizens pacified with their Borloi...)

If you want me to agree with you... use REASON. Do not insert tokens into movies, television, books, video games... do not portray protagonists as thinking and acting in ways you wish to promote, do not portray antagonists as thinking and acting in ways you wish to demonize.

Yes, I believe it far better for a society, through its legislature, to honestly declare, "this behavior/item is now illegal", such as with the 18th Amendment, than a society that keeps it legal, but demonizes the product and its users *because it's profiting from the product's use*, such as with tobacco. The 18th Amendment can be repealed, but you can't repeal brain-washing.

It's always assumed by moderns that the current state of modern society is a result of our "enlightenment" about the "evils" of our past; feeds the proles egos just fine, just kind of hard for me to reconcile with objective reality.

I watch a guy walking down an aisle with his pants below his ass, and some giggly girl next to him thinking he's all that, and I find it hard to swallow that these creatures are somehow wiser or superior to the society that discouraged a man from leaving the house without a hat. And where did this... cough... fashion statement come from? Pop culture. Nobody got up in the morning and said, "you know, my pants hanging below my ass making me walk like a penguin is a good look for me, and the chicks will dig it." It came from scum in jail not being allowed to have a *belt* and wearing clothes that didn't fit. Somehow, those emulating this fashion got it brainwashed into them that that's the way to look powerful and attractive. I wonder where it came from.

That's not the brainwashing. See, if I had a piece of clothing that didn't fit, like a hand-me-down from my elder brothers... my mother *mended* it. But, thanks to the brainwashing you pretend never happened, momma pursuing her career in the food service industry is more important than momma maintaining her children's appearance. Then, brainwashing upon brainwashing, the cart is placed before the horse and the brainwashers try to pretend that momma *had* to go to work, not that the feminazi's propaganda campaign, and the media's support with fiction glamorizing their agenda, led to the idea that women *deserved* a career outside the home, even after having dropped get, followed by the propaganda campaign that housework wasn't "women's work", followed by the campaign that anything culturally feminine was de facto sexist... and on and on, relentlessly. And this is just one facet of one aspect of the tremendously MASSIVE brainwashing campaign, relentlessly hammering the populace from every venue and walk of life. Big Brother has left no stone unturned.

On the one hand, stealing from children the ability to reason, and on the other, spoon feeding them, through emotional triggers and associations, what the progressives wanted them to think, feel and believe. 1984 indeed.


There's almost nothing I can watch, read or listen to anymore without a feeling of disgust deep in the pit of my stomach at the countless "truisms" and modern moral assumptions being shoved down everyone's throat. If there's an old movie or book I liked, and I hear there's going to be a film version or remake, I won't go see it, anymore. Not after what they did to Starship Troopers. (in point of fact, the straw that broke the camel's back came long before that movie, when they altered the ending of "Enemy Mine" to be a humanity-bashing PC screed. And Enemy Mine was one of THE best stories about cultural conflicts I've ever read).

Even the movie critics on Youtube recognize that the movie "Avatar" is just a remake of yet another "White men suck" appeal to emotion story. Massive box-office success, with no one questioning the basic assumptions (like, why a pacific, harmony with nature culture would develop a warrior class...)

People will flock to museums to look at "Guernica", but never read "Homage to Catalonia". Emotional appeal winning out over reason.

Of course, old movies and books can't cut it in the modern mainstream brainwashed culture; one of the things brainwashed into them is the bigoted intolerance for anything not PC. And I promise you, my definition of PC is far more extensive than yours.
