@patloller: Here’s a story about how my drill sgt told me how the brainwashing worked during basic training because it would work regardless, and he was correct
This is the same reason verbal abuse is still harmful even if you know the abuser is only saying it to hurt you. That bottom layer of the brain cake conforms to what it experiences, no matter what the top layers know to be true or false.

My very funny RDC played Hannah Montana's The Climb as we formed up in our compartment to go to our graduation ceremony. I cried 🤣

Saw a former CIA propagandist explain how even he struggles with visual propaganda he created bc our brains are wired to believe our eyes.

Best example is racism imo. It's so ingrained in our society that even if you're aware it's wrong, you can still be subconsciously racist due to it being so ingrained in us during our youth. Hence the terms hard R racism (obvious racism) and soft r racism (not so obvious- ex: thinking every black person must be poor).

Whew.. therapist here. Im fairly new in the field and have worked with several quite guarded vets. This was incredibly helpful to better understand the complexity of reintegration into civilian life. Thanks for your vulnerability!

*The live action Lilo and Stitch having Lilo tell Nani that because she's so smart she should be a marine when she really meant marine biologist was not written as just a cute line but instead was a propaganda tool to get the intellectuals watching to enlist* WHO SAID THAT???

One of the scariest things I’ve learned recently is that even if you can rationalize something, that doesn’t make you immune to it. I have crippling stage fright. I’ve been working at getting rid of it and no matter how many good performances I have or how much I understand it’s not life or death, my body still reacts like it is. Being aware of that disconnect is eye opening

Schrödinger's Gender :
*whisper* children who grew up on military bases were brainwashed as well in more subtle ways. On the base theater before they played the movie they would play the national anthem and I was stunned the first time I saw a movie at a civilian theater and It took me years not to feel the urge to stand up for the national anthem at a movie theater.

I wish more liberals knew this. It’s very easy to look down on the right. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us are intellectually immune to the stuff

So I took an advertising psych class in college and one of the things we covered was how the brain takes information in
Commercials on TV were designed to be ignored. They wanted you to get up, go get a snack, use the bathroom, leave the room, etc.
It turned rhe Commercial into background noise, noise you knew meant something but couldn't hear, until the volume spiked and yelled their slogan so it was all you took in. Burying their slogan in your subconcious until you needed that kind of service
Like man I need new car insurance, then the jingle plays in your head, and you're not sure why. But their sales spiked after they implemented that method

Unfortunately this is why the right is rising. They're wayyyy better at propaganda than the left. They know exactly how to prey on fear and emotion and how to use it to sway votes.
