RE: Brainwashing || The Use of Emotion to Build Loyal Soldiers

in Ecency3 years ago

Brainwashing is a psychological attack on the mind to a point of breakdown, where the mind is completely helpless and is willing to take in information. At this point, everything said to the person will stick to it.

Lol. Taking in information and believing and espousing it are entirely different things. One can listen, even be forced to listen and still choose to disregard and challenge it, brainwashing isn't forcing people to listen to information. Brainwashing isn't an attack, brainwashing is selling a story, and it only works as long as they're not challenged on the bullshit, yet

It was believed that when the soldiers were captured, they were not killed, instead they were indoctrinated to become followers and advocates for communism.

Sure. The CIA "believes" it was brainwashing instead of being killed. Makes sense, instead of torture, it was "indoctrination to be followers and advocates for communism". Instead of slavery, it was " indoctrination to be followers and advocates for communism". Instead of humiliation and degradation, it was " indoctrination to be followers and advocates for communism". It must be true, why would they lie, it's only the CIA.

Sort:  

It is very surprising how brainwashing can work very easy by just making people emotionally connected to believes that weren't theirs in the past. In most cases, brainwashed people are so deep into what they have been cajoled to believe that they can go to any length to defend it, since part of the brainwashing session would include taking the believe as part of their lives

Thanks a lot for the comment, This means a lot.
