I was reading this article and had a thought about these folks that are getting their news from FB and other socials. We freethinkers talk about brainwashing, but we don't actually put ourselves into a position to experience it. This guy came out of Berkley. The amount of lies and behavioral conditioning from FB alone that this person has been exposed to must be off the charts. He might as well be one of Michael Vick's dogs. It kind of makes me sick to my stomach to think about it, but people like this have really been victimized. Weaponized, yes, but also victimized. Am I being to kind?

You’re correct. We are lucky that we didn’t find ourselves in an environment where brainwashing and peer pressure would have been inevitable. I consider some of my friends and former friends who are liberals, and it’s like they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Went to the wrong school, started dating the wrong women and 5 years later they’re completely brainwashed.
"Started dating the wrong woman" Isn't that an insidious trap!
Also, consider the mischaracterization of what Trump said about Charlottesville. They manufactured that quote and pounded into these kids heads like a stake.
Charlottesville and Ferguson were like trap doors. Saw a lot of people begin to lose their critical thinking abilities right around that time.
Oh God. I forgot about Ferguson. The gentle giant that knocked over a convenience store, assaulted the owner, and attacked a cop... The fucking media searching for an opportunity to pin their narrative on something.
