The bigger the lie, and the more often it's repeated, the more people believe it. The left has been pushing the lies about them being the only ones who care about people and about the right being greedy and uncaring. Now that school text books are echoing some of this crap, young people are believing the lies from an early age. No wonder schools want our children by age 3 now. They want to get to them before parents can teach them things. Hillary stated that the state should raise children, with parents playing a secondary role. Scary that people like her are controlling the education system and much of the media.
"Indoctrination is actually very easy to accomplish, and the purpose of this post is to expose exactly how indoctrination works.
People think that the trick to indoctrination is to control the narrative, but it is not. The trick is to control what is perceived as ‘true’. Narratives follow.
Controlling the perception of ‘truth’ starts with virtue-signaling. The left constantly portrays their positions as virtuous, and other positions as lacking virtue. Once someone buys into the notion that a position is, or is not, virtuous, then being a ‘good person’ comes from agreeing with the right positions, making it impossible to separate one’s self-identity from the political positions one holds. Once someone’s sense of virtue becomes tied to their political positions, they will defend those political positions as if their lives depended on it, as not doing so would, to them, make them lack virtue. Conversely, anyone who opposes their political positions becomes, by definition, evil.
You might notice that Democrats are often dismissive of facts. This is because they gauge the validity of different facts based on how well those facts fit their political positions, rather than gauging their political positions based on how well those positions square with the facts. Once someone accepts a position as virtuous, and ties their sense of self-virtue to holding the right positions, they become immune to facts, and will find convenient ways to blow off any facts they don’t like.
In fairness, Republicans can be just as dismissive of facts, and in fact conservatives can be just as indoctrinated as liberals. The difference is that liberals control our public schools, colleges, and media, with the vast majority of journalists, actors, directors, and others working in the media, being liberal. The vast majority of conservative college professors are in hard sciences, business schools, or engineering schools, whereas the vast majority of students go into liberal arts, where they are ‘taught’ almost entirely by liberal professors.
Imagine two people finishing their degrees. One has an engineering degree, and the other has a degree in feminist studies. The person with the engineering degree is apt to become an engineer, but what will the person with the degree in feminist studies become? What job skills has college bestowed upon this person, other than to continue to study until he or she has a doctorate in feminist studies, and can become a college professor him or herself?
Perhaps more to the point, what has the person with a doctorate in feminist studies learned? That is an absolutely worthless degree, bestowing the opposite of knowledge upon the recipient. If we are honest with ourselves, degrees like this one show only that someone has spent eight years being indoctrinated into a very dangerous political ideology, to the point where they will probably never be able to gauge truth from fiction again. Everything they believe, not only about the world, but about themselves – their entire sense of their own worth – is tied into believing the B.S. their degree program contained. How do you reach someone whose entire sense of self-value is based on not being reached? How do you give truth to someone who would be destroyed by it?
Answer? Generally speaking, you don’t reach them. People like this are intellectually dead. The few that are reached speak of red-pill moments, and become conservatives, but the vast majority of indoctrinated people spend their entire lives in intellectual purgatory, and the more of an ‘education’ they have in that indoctrination, the harder they become to reach."
