i love when liberals pull the commie brainwash card, as if we dont already live in a capitalist dominated world where people are taught that capitalism is the only viable economic system. Be it in a TV-series, in the News, in the Radio, in documentaries....pretty much every media-outlet when mentioning socialism treats it as a failed, murderous joke and nothing else....it is presented to us, without explanation most of the time, that socialism is evil, undemocratic, killed 100 Gorbachovillian people and that capitalism is the only economic system that "works". We are not brainwashed you are the one feeding off liberal propaganda

Whenever "brainwashing" comes up, I'm reminded of this article: https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/

The writer uses the term "licensing". Which I think is appropriate. We can show them that their entire society is propaganda, but they will brush it off as if it's not proving anything, then embrace the term propaganda when it's not part of their embedded culture. "Licensing", because the libs and america have a license to do bad things, even while judging others for doing those same things.
