Many of us, if not ALL of us, DO understand that the public school system, and later (if they get that far) institutions of higher learning have and continue to brainwash our youth.
HOWEVER...these kids consider themselves the intellectual elite of this country. They believe that the world would be a real Utopia if only we would turn the reigns of power to them, because THEY know the truth.
They have libraries. They have Internet access....do they do any deeper research once they reach the age of consent (at which age they are responsible for their actions, including reckless endanderment and tresspassing) ?
No, they do not. They're not THAT brainwashed. They're more INDOCTRINATED into the leftist ideology of "Socialsm would have worked if only the right people were in power."
If they can study Marx, they can study forestry managent. They can use empirical evidence to see for themselves whether the concepts that they embrace are really working. They do not.
In other words, they DO bear at least SOME of the responsibility for their actions. NOW...LETS GO AFTER THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
They're not THAT brainwashed.
No, they ARE that brainwashed, via cognitive dissonance, behavior control drugs, television, video games, magazines, group pressure sessions... In every sense of the word, especially in terms of its duration and the fact that the omnipotent State and the media culture are both placed above parents in the child's world hierarchy, it is worse than brainwashing; It is brain-molding.
They're more INDOCTRINATED into the leftist ideology of "Socialsm would have worked if only the right people were in power."
Actually that is the line from about five years ago. The new one is, "Socialism has been perfected since the fall of the Soviet Union."
