Charlotte, NC — Words are powerful tools that can control our thoughts and beliefs in more ways than people realize. Men can be easily trained to respond to various catchphrases that guide the nature and direction of a conversation. Joseph Stalin wrote in Concerning Marxism in Linguistics that certain sounds and tones can produce predictable reflexive reactions in people.
A good example is watching how those on the left are easily triggered by words they have been, for a lack of a better term, conditioned to respond too in a frantic manner. Another good example is the word brainwashing. Like conspiracy, this designation is likely to prompt responses of denial, skepticism and outright accusations of wearing a tinfoil hat.
This is due to the success of attaching negative associations to the word itself, which in turn, is an excellent example of how environment also controls behavior. Those responding to the word brainwashing in that way, have essentially been brainwashed themselves, and don’t even know it.
Brainwashing people has long been a discredited conspiracy theory, along with the idea of communist infiltration. Joseph McCarthy was attacked and ridiculed constantly, leading to the reactionary term “McCarthyism.” This derogatory moniker was attached to anyone claiming there was communist activity in the country, even though it is easily provable.
Brainwashing, or behavioral modification to be more technical, is also easily provable even though it borders on the conspiratorial. The phrase itself denotes images of people strapped in a chair, in some dingy basement run by MK Ultra operatives, with antennas protruding from their brain housing group.

Only works on emotive thinkers.....IE: liberals.
They’re triggered by words like......TRUMP!
Remember, Propaganda isn’t just what they tell you, it’s what they choose not to tell you.
Liberals are like Pavlov’s dogs.
Pavlov settled this science a long time ago.
Once you remove the words “they would never” from your vocabulary, you realize how silly ever thinking that in the first place was, and everything suddenly makes sense.
“Just because you ring a Bell doesn’t mean I’m going to drool for you”
Pavlov’s bad dog.

This in itself is an example of brainwashing.
McCarthy was right.
There is a communist infiltration.

Actually, it works on conservatives as well. Just mention vaccination mandates...
“Actually, it works on conservatives as well. Just mention vaccination mandates.”
That is a complete non sequitur. Try to become more intelligent.
“Most pick the expert who says the things they agree with.”
I imagine that you and the knuckleheads you hang out with do that.
Conservatives, on the other hand, strive rigorously to identify experts who are correct, as a matter of objective fact.
That’s why we’re conservatives, and leftwads are dimwits.
Those most devastated by the effects of brainwashing are the members of the kabbal.
I wonder how Pavlov would have fared if he had used cats?
Hmmm, that would make for a funny Larsen's The Far Side cartoon...
You mean it works on you?....mkay...
Lol...
“Women and cats will do as they please...dogs and men should get used to it”
Heinlein.
We are seeing an explosion of propaganda the past 4 years, especially with fake news, fake investigations and COVID-19.
“If you control the language, you control the argument
If you control the argument, you control information,
If you control information, you control history,
If you control history, you control the past.
He who controls the past controls the future.”
