      An important academic work on indoctrination was published in 1961 by psychologist Robert Jay Lifton. 'Thought Reform and the Psychology of Totalism' was the result of in-depth interviews with survivors of Chinese re-education camps.

      Lifton identified eight psychological themes involved in ideological totalism. The book is available here: https://archive.org/stream/ThoughtReformAndThePsychologyOfTotalism/Thought_Reform_and_the_Psychology_of_Totalism#page/n17/mode/2up …

      Lifton has highlighted that 'cult think' can extend to groups as large as populations if the correct methods are used. We should all be guarded and cautious about this.

      The statement that repeating a lie often enough creates the illusion of truth is often attributed to Joseph Goebbels. The idea that a repeated lie can take the appearance of truth is of import in the internet age where words and statements can spread like wild fire with no

      In addition, the silencing of experts with the terms 'bigot' and declaring facts 'hate speech' is combining to make a very dangerous scenario indeed.

      As students shout over experts and professor and knowledge and evidence get consigned to outside the conversation a decision of what we value needs to be made. We can not teach those that don't wish to listen or learn.

      Evidence that supports the contention that the backlash is presenting as progress and we are actually in a dangerous new era is growing. For example, Oxford students are attempting to harass and bully women into silence.https://womansplaceuk.org/womans-place-uk-oxford-meeting/ …
