what hoomans misunderstand about brainwashing is that the hoomans MUST seek it out themselves. for that you must first convince them that their brain is UNCLEAN and thus needs the washing.https://twitter.com/a_yawning_cat/status/1347436625903702016 …

This is a commonly misunderstanding of how propaganda works. Propaganda acts as a CRUTCH for thinking, it doesn't REPLACE thinking. Instead of FILLING the hooman mind you only need disable the capacity for QUESTIONING.

"stimulus control" is why positive reinforcement is the only way to shape behaviors with high time precision. No amount of negative "Don't do X" can lead to a "Do Y faster & more precisely." At most they'll NOT do X really fast.pic.twitter.com/N0H6wI4Vl2

"In humans prelearning temper tantrums often seem to take place when long-held beliefs are challenged and the subject knows deep inside that there is some truth to the new information."

notice how the punish mentality is the Perfect Virtuous Action only when the punisher perceives self as Perfect? it's underpinned by the belief that if only the "bad" people would stop being "bad" then we'd have Utopia.pic.twitter.com/oMVZFEN8YM
