Demoralization

[Bezmenov quote on demoralization]
Make sure you read it with a Russian accent.

This clip is only 13:37 long but the full two hour lectures are worth it.

Everything he says applies to domestic elements as much as foreign. That is, it's not just Soviet spies larping as teachers doing this to us. And it's not always overtly wrapped as "socialism". One could use all the same methods and acquire the same outcome while branding it as something totally different.

The forms of brainwashing derived from MK Ultra, Monarch, and other Paperclip research are also used in tandem with these more overt "Soviet-style" techniques. But again, what matters isn't whether it's originally Soviet or Nazi or American, but that the result is the same.

That end result being a Matrix-like box of fixed responses and behaviors. I think I've already elaborated on where/how these techniques are used the most in everyday life (entertainment, education, work), but it would be more fun to let people learn the methodology and learn to spot it on their own.

Maybe some elements are more detectable by some people than others? For example, most people probably wouldn't stop to think about what, say, Rick & Morty is conditioning them to believe... or what Comedy Central was conditioning kids like me to believe, watching it all throughout our childhood.
