The Truth About Popular Music

North Korean Refugees Try American BBQ

bobknight33 says...

N Korea evilness needs to be made more public. A true disgrace.
A totally brainwashed society by it government.


Great video. I only wish more was done to free its people.

The Sinister Reason Weed is Illegal

artician says...

The Nixon-aid quote is really the only one necessary today, isn't it? Let's just agree that using the same manipulative brainwashing tactics for the "good" message completely eliminate any viable credibility.
Reefer Madness was a PSA funded by a church group. I guess its fair to label it a "movie".
Also: why's the black girl the one trying to smoke weed all the time?

AT&T It Can Wait

lucky760 says...

Shitty thing is they were probably dedicated to avoiding phoning and driving for about as long as it took them to walk to their cars.

I'm hoping I'll be able to brainwash my kids into keeping their phones off while driving, but I know it won't work. You can't fight human nature.

Bill Burr - Buzz Aldrin Punches Guy

dannym3141 says...

Talking to a conspiracy theorist about either the moon landing or the flat earth theory is exasperating. They discredit a scientific theory on the slightest technicality in your brief retelling of it, but if you baulk at their vague one-sentence alternative you're brainwashed.

You can tell them about the retroreflectors, or the satellite images we have of the landing site. You can tell them about sundials, the phases of the moon or constellations.

They don't care - anything can be faked and their definition of "proof" boils down to seeing it with their own naked eye.

It's totally impractical to take everyone up in a Red Bull balloon to see the curvature of the Earth for themselves. Presumably you'd have to take everyone up twice at two locations to show that the circular horizon is not an edge. Or kill two birds with one stone and take them to the moon landing site and back again because nothing less will suffice.

Because if I take them to the most advanced telescope in the world and focus it on the moon landing site - the image could be faked. You could show them how the telescope works, but each component could produce a faked output. The only way they would accept the telescope information is if they built it themselves from raw materials - oh you used a standard electronic device such as a basic motor? Illuminati dude, that thing can produce EM waves that fake the image. You're going to use a Macbook to read the USB output? Are you a shill?

Literally nothing is good enough but they are all, without exception, too fucking lazy to go and prove it to themselves from first principles.

Which is called "getting a degree in physics", where you are also taught to question every step, AKA being "brainwashed".

Stephen Colbert Is Genuinely Freaked Out About The Brexit

ChaosEngine says...

Good article, but Greenwald is missing one key point:
it's not just the "media elite" who can't understand the Leave vote. Most "normal" people outside England and Wales are perplexed by this too.

Talk to the average person on the street in Ireland, Scotland, France, Germany, etc. and they'll tell you the same things:
a) the leave vote was the wrong decision
b) it was brought about through fear mongering and lies

So that leaves two possibilities:

1. the rest of the EU are media-brainwashed idiots and the people who saw the light were Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson and the kind of people now screaming racist abuse at "foreigners" (aka anyone non-white or with a foreign ancestry even if they were born in the UK).

or

2. it really was a dumb idea.

Kid Displays Proof He Collected That Vaccines Cause Autism

Payback says...

When we receive facts, it is not called "brainwashing" it's referred to as "learning".

When we get our information from political propagandists and "spin doctors", THAT is when we say "brainwashed ".

Brainwashed by mother.

The Official Donald Trump Jam

creationist student gets owned

Stormsinger says...

The "scorn reflected here" is most properly directed at those who brainwashed this young woman into believing a mythology appropriate to a bronze-age culture. Her parents, most likely, chose to indoctrinate her with these unsupportable beliefs, and in so doing, have made it virtually impossible for her to get a real education and to be a productive member of a technological society.

It was child-abuse, pure and simple.

artician said:

This is education in action. We're all ignorant when young.

What would we be creating if our instructors had a modicum of the scorn reflected for this woman here? We would never educate anyone brave enough to open up about their ignorance or challenge any beliefs.

Everyone with questions and alternative beliefs needs to partake in this kind of discourse. This right here is the solution to disparate, incompatible cultures, beliefs, war, etc.

Wacko Church beats to death one teen and hospitalizes other

ForgedReality says...

The intent was more to suggest that religion gets a free pass, because everyone is so fucking afraid to offend people's crybaby sensitivities. Like, look how much bullshit we keep hearing about, and the irreparable damage that's doubtless being done to countless of our youth, all the crazy tax breaks from the scam artists, etc., and nobody wants to raise the question asking what the fuck is going on in the religious communities. Everyone's fine talking about guns, but they shy away from this brainwashed bullshit. It's fucking retarded.

Payback said:

You did state you felt religion was creating "far more harm" than guns. That's an implicit statement that less should be done about guns and more about religion. That guns aren't as important.

From further comments, it's obvious you didn't mean it that way, but that's how it looked.

CERN is bringing in demons

RFlagg says...

I didn't watch any of his other videos, but based on titles and what bit I actually watched here, if he is a Poe, he's doing a really good job at it. I think he is just a typical conspiracy theorist type... sadly...

EDIT to add: Even if he is a Poe, there are people who honestly believe the type of stuff he's putting out there. Heck somebody I personally know believes that the raise in the popularity of Soccer in the US is because those in power want to make American's like European things so they can bring socialism and communism here and reject Christ. That's apparently why the media is pushing soccer more and more, and I'm sure believes that Obama's (who this person believes to be a Muslim and apparently only eats pork, drinks, and confesses he believes that Jesus is the Christ, just to fool us "brainwashed" people) administration is persecuting FIFA just so we can get a more US friendly FIFA in that will push it on the US even more, though to be fair, I've never heard that part of the claim, just that "they" are pushing soccer so "they" can push European socialism and anti-christ ideals on us.

ADHD U: The Advertising Song

Trancecoach jokingly says...

You probably already have too many shirts...

And, by the bye, you only need some spinach and a glass of milk a day as far as sustenance... You could even live off of pine needles, so you don't even need to shop for food! If you weren't such a consumerist, you'd trade your fancy apartment for a bunk bed at a hostel. But mean old Bernays has brainwashed you into becoming a miserable consumerist. (It's too bad you can't think for yourself. That mean old man makes it impossible for you to make your own decisions!) And I wont even go into your consumerist desire for Internet service, movies, music, and God knows what else! You even own a bed! (can you believe that?)! And come the holidays, what does your consumerist self do? Exchange gifts with family!
Oh the humanity.

everything about the drug war and addiction is wrong

RFlagg says...

What are you talking about? You think Conservative politicians are good?

Here's the Conservative logic:

You a rich guy who's fucking over your workers by not paying them a living wage? Have a tax break, oh and thanks for the campaign contributions we'll find more tax breaks for you.
Oh look, those workers you aren't paying a living wage to need food stamps, let's cut food stamp funding then we'll be able to give you rich people more tax breaks.
Oh, you are moving those jobs overseas so you can keep more of the profits for yourself? Great idea, more money for you. We'll blame those jobs going overseas on the government and everyone will believe it and not blame the rich guy who moved the job overseas because being rich is good (despite what Jesus whom we pretend to like said) and government is bad.
We'll have the churches turn their backs against the teachings of Jesus and convince millions of Americans that Jesus meant the opposite and they'll vote for us thinking they are doing the Christian thing. Sure one or two people will lose faith and hate Christians [your's truly included, even if He is real, I'd rather be in Hell than be around Him or His people] because of it, but most of the faithful have been taught to accept anything the church says, so they'll all go along with the plan to fuck over the working class so that you rich people can have your great life.
We'll keep building more and more prisons, we'll turn them into profit making centers and incarcerate more people than any other nation for the good of corporate profit.
Let's make a pipeline filled with highly pollutive tar sands that will create 35 permanent full time jobs so that we can export a great deal of that oil. We'll tell people it's about "energy independence"and about all the jobs it'll create for the couple years of it's construction. We'll ignore the fact that upgrading our nations infrastructure would create far more jobs not only in the long term, but significantly more jobs in the short term as well., and that's just upgrading our electrical grid, not counting upgrading our freeways, bridges, dams, railways and the like.
Let's make more and more war, because war profits off killing a bunch of what we'll sell as savages is really good money for the rich.

Both sides have good and bad... well the left have good and bad. The right has people brainwashed into thinking they are doing good and the Lord's work...even though it's 100% opposite of what He taught... I hate myself for having ever voted and arguing for Conservative or even Libertarian "logic".

Where are the aliens? KurzGesagt

Payback says...

The possibility of there being "NO life elsewhere" is less than of there being life elsewhere. As a matter of fact, there is a bigger chance of finding another solar system containing virtually the same planetary bodies -in virtually the same orbits- as our solar system, than there is of "no life elsewhere".

Oh and @ChaosEngine, stop arguing with Shiny. He's been brainwashed by his cult. Even if you showed him how they did it, he wouldn't believe you.
