    Brainwashing by some pseudo mind control is not how it works, its indoctrination by rote. Same as cults or religious faith. There core belief is altered to somebody elses way.

    Of course if you were paid it would change the merit.

    You seriously don’t seem to understand critical thinking. And this is a waste of time

    Have a good evening.

      There’s no “indoctrination by rote.” Again, the CIA tried to do this, and could not get it to work. This is a conspiracy theory. Further, whether or not I get paid to write what I do has no impact on the truth of what I say, like I already said it would just prove motivation for it, but the claims themselves are independent of that motive.

      I understand critical thinking well enough, resorting to insults when you can’t effectively counter the points I raise doesn’t help your points, it hurts them rhetorically.
