You are way the hell too flippant with your definitions.
Brainwashing means"
“to forcibly compel someone to adopt radically different beliefs or attitudes through intense, often coercive, mental pressure, propaganda, or isolation. It implies a total takeover of thought, making a person repeat ideas or follow commands against their original convictions.”
What you are doing is mind masturbation. I was just having a little fun with metaphors.
That’s sorta what they’re implying hormones to be, even saying that the only reason he’s into women and I’m into men is hormones and that prior to that it was some happy medium
The overwhelming majority of legacy media around the world produces propaganda for their own Masters.
I said WESTERN SOCIETY is amongst the most brainwashed in the world and I base that on my travels to various regions. The reporting in the West has been more effective at propaganda because it has had the appearance of allowing criticism and freedom of speech, thus making it more believable. The trust is diminishing rapidly now though.
When censorship becomes more overt as it now is in the West, people start to question things more and the propaganda itself becomes less effective. George Orwell also mentioned similar in the foreword of one of his books (1984 I think).
Well the thing is…they don’t. It’s a nice sentiment but even if the censorship is bad unless it directly affects them people don’t really care.
It’s like MAGA people quitting the club now that gas prices hurt them, but not when black and brown people were being rounded up by ICE. People don’t give a shit unti it hurts them directly.
But no his support is tanking and social media is clogged with former MAGA voters complaining of not being accepted after leaving MAGA. Mind you some of these voted for him 3 times.
