Someone better let these Jamestown folks know.
Our public schools thrive on it.
This guy is among the most sanctimonious of the clowns over at NR. Hard to tell if he is this ignorant or if he is just spinning.
However “gaslighting” is a very real thing.
Stopped reading when they criticized “chiropractic”
Dr. Lifton would disagree ...
Homeopathy is not real? How did mankind treat illnesses before Bayer, Pfizer, and The FDA?
Really ?
Sorry. they help millions of people everyday overcome chronic issues.
Don’t call it brainwashing; call it indoctrination. For example:
Smart, technologically literate people have been indoctrinated to “know” that Hillary Clinton’s use of her private email server for her work as Secretary of State is of no consequence.
Amazing how much totalitarian regimes spend on propaganda for something which is not real. Perhaps the author would like to explain while somethings as foul and evil as Islam is not only still around its infection count now stands at over a billion lost souls?
There is brainwashing, and it’s practiced wherever leftists are in control: schools and media.

The author of this article has experienced his brain being washed away. He is nuts.
He has no idea what he is writing about.
If brainwashing isn’t real, then how do you explain where you can talk a person into giving up his life, man’s strongest “will,” in trade for gaining an unproven glorious afterlife of earthly sins you never would get in that life? It’s called Islam and there are an estimated 609 Million of them in the world. Just a fad?

What’s the point of it? I clicked on it but there were so many pop-ups distorting the screen. LOL. I guess NRO is in need of money.
Chiropractic care works for those with an issue it can help. Like a miracle.
For those with circumstances not served by adjustment, it seems like voodoo.
It’s like architecture or engineering for the body.
Once you get the foundation, alignment and support structures in the correct relationship, everything is groovy.
Radicalized should be added.
“Brainwashing” is right up there with “recovered memories,” “multiple-personality disorder,” homeopathy, chiropractic, reiki, the anti-vaccine movement, and the terror of GMO vegetables in the catalogue of voguish nonsense that has made its way at least partly into the mainstream of American life.
One of the common strategies for leftards is the inculcation or provoking some form of white guilt, white self-hatred, and white self-doubt, in whites, on the premise that a guilt ridden mind is less inclined to critical,independent rational judgement, and is more susceptible to intellectual manipulation, and a decrease in self-assertiveness.
The human mind learns. That is why it exists.
Unfortunately, it can learn to distrust its own thoughts, question its own interests and trust the thought processes of others over its own.
In my view, shutting down critical thinking is “brainwashing”, and it is the centerpiece of the Democrat party in America and Communism, worldwide.
Every plank in the Democrat platform is an act of self immolation in one form or other. Kill my babies! I want to live in a dark cave! I hate the family and want to embrace a life of hedonism and disease!
Democrats buy into this just like the people at Jonestown drank his cool aid. They learn to not think for themselves and then they are trapped.
So, brainwashing DOES exist and is used extensively.
The author is one of the users of it, and a liar.

Why would anyone read beyond here?
