U can bounce back from being indoctrinated, depending on how strong a personality u have. The indoctrination lasts for a bit, then u reason it out, and ur back to ur old self !
Scorpius10: Yes, you can. I like Osho on youtube. He talks a lot about how we have been brainwashed/indoctrinated. You might not like everything he says, but he was right. I have been "awake" for a bout 6 years now. I find it hard to break free from the programming/conditioning fully. I can only do a bit at a time. I could talk about this stuff forever.
Miwagi: There seems to a lot lot of kids in a lot of countries lacking direction these days. Antifa is growing here in the US and disrupting free speech. You may be lucky so far in Ireland but chaos is coming. Look at France.
Agree! I think parents are not only the guardians of their children they are also the guardians of the countries of their residence. Unlike adults, children have no life experiences. They need to be initiated into some form of primary worldview regarding values such as trust, respect, caring, autonomy, responsibility, discipline and democratic participation before they can make sense of the world themselves. It prepares then to navigate life's hurdles in a more informed and seamless way!
If this is not happening in the home they will forms their worldviews on the street from their peers or alone in their bedrooms from the Internet. Most religious sects and others are aware that these young adults become quiet spiritual and a vacuum arises... ripe for the picking to become indoctrinated with any worldviews!!!
Political correctness is making puppets and zombies out of all of us!!

Ten. Stay calm. Don't get involved with any politics or religion. Check out everything, before u do anything. Keep ur wits about u all the time. Don't listen to bs. Sleep well. B urself.
MsContessa: Your post is full of contradictions... you complain of kids having no direction... For the most part, Indoctrination is introducing a value system, your value system, to your children. How can children have values otherwise? They can change it themselves as they get older. What you are talking about is brainwashing which is a system that is highly objectionable..! I would look at indoctrination as a benefit to the receiver and brainwashing a benefit to the giver....!
Very INTERESTING observation, MC! (The giver/receiver dichotomy.) I'd never looked at/considered it, from THAT perspective! But I can see how that is applicable! Thanks for making me think, today!
rainbowdream2017: Great subject. I don't watch TV so I am safe from that side. Internet is my TV and I might be rather "indoctrinated " in curiosity to watch everything what main stream media won't show... Dont we all have a natural desire to see what's purposely hidden ?
"Purposely" has NOTHING to do with it, at least, for ME, Rainy! I'm curious any EVERYTHING! Those hidden unknown things, certainly! But I'm just as curious about the obvious "known" things! In MY experience, from MY perspective, MOST of the "known" things aren't "true", either!

Let_Us: ME? ANGRY? Not likely, Snookie! And Lee CERTAINLY doesn't have the capacity to "upset" me! Amuse me? YES! But anger me? No! Why do you ask? "Entertaining", huh? You musta been a BIG fan, of "The Lone Ranger"! Hope you got to COOK breakfast, for your friend, this morning!
We're doing work for the same company. Just friends. But he has a crush on me, Like u.
Let_Us: Yes. Are you interested? But there are NO "quick" fixes. We've taken centuries, millennium, to get ourselves HERE! It's gonna take a while to CHANGE orientation/direction.
Yes. I am interested in seeing change. If it keeps going the way it is, people will have no freedom left. I know we need to focus on the good things in life, but ignoring the bad things is not going to fix them. It's getting worse. I'm sorry, but I can't believe how stupid and afraid people are today. If we don't act soon, the future won't be worth living.
its not about doing anymore...its about being and energy work....we're now automated and hooked into the super energy highway.....just put all that good stuff out to the universe and let it do its thing....that's the only way to change the collective consciousness and that's why things are the way they are right now because of those collective belief systems and the energy that is poured into them....
