Most of the people in my family and most of my friends, they are brainwashed in various ways. I try to help them, and they are usually open minded to what I say and generally agree with me, though ultimately revert back to their programming.

I would admit even I am brainwashed in various ways, i think almost all of us are.. Just some definitely are worse than others.

Don't you think "brainwashed" is a bit too harsh? I mean we are all somewhat manipulated, for example to like that brown sugared water, but maybe, and this is what I am trying to tell you, you are taking it too hard.
