It isn't just TV and commercialism. There are many forms of brainwashing going on in our society. In the United States, all large institutions work
to indoctrinate their members. Although, some are more effective than others, and the "ethics" of different institutions, vary.
Starting at an early age, of course there are churches and schools. However, the influence of things like summer camps should not be discounted. They
bring together kids, isolating them from their parents, where various sorts of pressure can be exorted to train those kids to conform to the group,
whatever its values.
In colleges, fraternities have their initiation rituals. They make their initiates undergo various rituals, where they are indoctrinated into the
group. The same applies to the military, and other government organizations.
Once you've brainwashed the parents, it only becomes all that much easier to brainwash the children. What do you think masochistic spanking is about?
However, they don't trust the parents to brainwash their own children.
Do you ever really think about how much drug their is? How much of that is keeping people from fighting the system? Teachers are trained to use the
most advanced known psychological techniques to teach children to behave. Of course, despite all this, it doesn't always work perfectly.
There also have been experiments, with more sophisticated electronic brain control mechanisms. However, those are complicated to use, and other ways
have been found much easier to use. Certain frequencies sound waves, can have certain effects on people, but that is mostly for croud control.
Although, music is much more powerful, and can motivate people to do almost anything.
Since World War II, ever more sophisticated mind control mechanisms have been used on Americans. It has been documented, that the fraternity brain
washing rituals, were mostly started by ex-soldiers, who learned them from the training for World War II.
I haven't studied the history all that well, but fighting wars is always easier when you can get people to obey you. It is easy to see that facism
was quite effective at gaining obedience. For noble or inoble reasons, the U.S. government decided they needed to control the economy, and they ended
up going further with propoganda, and even mind control.
Once you get started with a system of mass mind control and propoganda, it is very hard for it to just stop. The people, who can manipulate people,
get caught up in their work. The manipulated become manipulaters of still more people, and the cycle worsens I think it has been happening pretty much
continuously since that time.
At this point, I think will continue and continue, as it continues growing in sophistication. I don't think these kind of things will just stop, or
start to shrink on their own. Most probably, it just continues until it gets so big, that the whole system collapses, although I think we are quite a
ways from there, still.


Maybe that is
because early on, my parents instilled in me a DESIRE to learn? That is the key. It doesn't matter how bad the schools are, if a child WANTS to
learn, they will, simple as that. Heck, often I loved to learn just to correct my teachers when they were blatantly wrong, hehe....
