How to Brainwash a nation is no stranger to most people but I wanted to post this here because it is frustrating to to discuss topics on this forum with brainwashed people.

So, I will try to enlighten those brainwashed people and hope they can waken up.



It only scratches the surface but it's a start in my opinion.

PS: My own opinion is that brainwashing can be good in some ways..generally it should be frowned upon but if you have a good idea, brainwashing is not really that bad when you think about it. brainwashing is healthy in fact...especially to the economy.

A strong economy is predicated by cheap energy but also with good workers...so in that sense, we need strong workers that will work for nothing.

You'd be trying the impossible if you tried to brainwash some AH posters .Caustic Soda might do it .I could do with brainwashing myself from the filth i've picked up here on boards.ie .My innocence i miss so much these days .

Brainwashing works, I like it.

If I have a policy, I know now how to implement it effectively.

Well brainwashing gives it a very slanted view on whats happening.
Its a great vid,ive seen it a few times before and it never gets boring.

Id call it social conditioning.
Making use of humans natural instincts and manipulating them, over generations.

Religion does a fairly good job on the brainwashing end of things

I seem to remember reading somewhere recently that the whole concept of 'brainwashing' has been completely discredited by researchers, but I can't remember what the source was - does it ring any bells with anyone?

The old-fashioned term "brainwashing" can be problematic. Modern mind control is much more subtle, sophisticated and ubiquitous today.
For example, political correctness is like a type of brainwashing. It's a perfect form of mind control because its rules are internalised. You self-censor your own thoughts, feelings and opinions.

This is psychological, personal - I mean think of what you say to your work colleagues as opposed to your close friends.

The only significant "brainwashing" we receive here in Ireland is advertising.

Well, used to, but it's declining fast.

Subsidised satellite TV packages along with a flood of free to air MSM news channels is another way of brainwashing the masses. .

For example in Ireland which MSM is being used to brainwash?

Must be all of it right or all these outlets would be contradicting each other all the time?
