indoctrination begins at an early age for the desired outcome.
For durable brainwashing that can last a lifetime, the ages 5 through 7 are key. In the 1970s, the government schools brainwashed this age group for patriotism and anti-communism, and it worked, even for Demonrats. Since then, the government has grown so big it's become a self-licking big business ice cream cone that writes all the national laws to benefit itself. Now they brainwash for anti-patriotism, can't loot what you love, and pro-socialism on the way to a big government centralized planned economy.
