Talk:Brainwashing

This is an article for quotes about brainwashing, not about propaganda, the big lie, or how evil the CIA and western mass media are. This article has been used as a COATRACK for POV-pushing. I will try to trim it back to quotes that are actually notable quotes about "brainwashing." If I mistakenly remove appropriate quotes, please let me know.

Agree - thank you. (Maybe we should make a list of articles needing cleanup, for this same reason? There's probably 20 or 30. Maybe a VP thread? Or the AN?) Antandrus (talk) 16:23, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

@Antandrus: AN has had some threads on this already, so let's start there and see if the admins find it useful. I am finished fixing up this article for now, and the curious can observe that I left a fair sampling of people using the term "brainwashed" metaphorically, as a synonym for "believing in ideas that I don't agree with because powerful people I don't like persuaded them in unspecified evil ways."
