Obvious Brainwashing

Anyone have any examples of really obvious brainwashing aimed at little kids?

I'll start out with this, which was an ad here on ATS.
Children's book

Can you explain a little why you think it's brainwashing.

Wow is this for real?




Political parties recruiting children?

Its name is disney my friend. I dont know if its on purpose, but it is obvious

that is by far the creepiest thing i have seen in a loooooong time...

Looks like a leftist copy of Help! Mom! There are Liberals Under my Bed:

Help! Mom! follows the adventures of Tommy and Lou, two ordinary boys who dream of starting a lemonade stand in order to earn enough to buy a swing set. But when liberals like Congresswoman Clunkton, Mayor Leach, and Mr. Fussman start demanding that Tommy and Lou pay half their money in taxes, take down their picture of Jesus, and serve broccoli with every glass of lemonade, the young brothers experience the downside to living in Liberaland.

At least that looks funny, the Democrat one looks really spooky.

I am a liberal Democrat and I think that book "Why Mommy Is..."

is great.

I also think there should be one exactly like it for Republicans,
so sons and daughters of GOPers can communicate their message to them
in the same way- it's not propaganda.

As for the LIBERALS UNDER MY BED- you know what- that is great too!

I think it is hilarious, and it points out the problems with Liberalism
ina funny way- which I welcome.

Liberalism is not perfect. Neither is Conservatism.

I applaud these methods to change the tone of the rancorous dialouge
that presently exists between the 2 parties...

Thanks

Here, I made a slight improvement to one of the images to make it more clear:


Republicans make a fast escape from liberal land

Well, at least Liberal Land looks like it would be funny for adults. "Why Mommy..." is aimed directly at children who are very young. To implant the concept that the DP is warm and safe and just like mom, while they are impressionable enough for that to stick in their minds. It all comes down to the parents who buy this crap for their kids, of course. But the purpose of this book is clear and horrible.

If your children are young enough to need something to be compared to "Mommy" for them to appreciate it, then they are to young to make up their own minds about important issues.

As for Disney...
...yeah, thats a whole new ballgame there.

Interesting that there is no daddy squirrel, in DP land . . . .

I wonder, does mommy have a good job?

a bit of sidewalk psychoanalysis might be in order.

Sad that any of them are appealing to moods, and not reasoned, principalled approaches to public policy.


"I'm a __________ because mommy said so, and it gives me warm fuzzies," is the absolutely last thing any country needs. Thats what Nazi and Commie agitprop from world war II looks like. The focus on feeling over reason.

So sad.

Thanks fora great laugh this morning

I personally think both parties sold out to
BIG Money a very long time ago.
The rest is just pandering for votes

Daddy squirrel is probably out working all the hours... knuckles to the bone... etc etc so that mommy and the kids can afford to have nice things .

Organic food's not cheap y'know

Incidentally I think all is not well in squirrell-land - boys seem to wear pants and no tops and girls have the tops but no pants!. Is this the thin end of the wedge?!

You're KIDDING, right???

What are you, some kind of "traditional family" nut? What makes you think a womyn needs a man to provide for her family? (We'll disregard the fact that Uncle Sam seems to be bringing home the bacon at her particular tree-house.

Womyn squirrels don't need pants; those are nothing but outdated uniforms of the oppressor! The womb's gotta breathe, dude!! Free your epidermis, and strip down (or suit up) as the mood suits you.

All that clothe-archy shame is a product of rePublican conditioning, doncha know??

.

All of the examples are vile, unconscionable propaganda.

And they're nearly as creepy as THISSSSS....

You mean you can't tell???

Oh YEAH! I can't believe I'm the first one to mention THIS ONE!

It's bad enough when already stupid adults dumb down subjects that they themselves have already had to oversimplify to understand so that kids can follow the bad metaphors to a bad conclusion before they're even old enough to figure out who the bad guy is in an episode of Scooby-Doo, but it's extra fun when it's coming from a Father Conklin's sex-offender reincarnation and calls the kids "pinheads".

Vagabond,

that entire last post is magical
but you're giving o'reilly way too much credit
that isn't a book, as much as it is a series of propaganda pamphlets full of BS and nothing more

that's precisely right. This is a book bashing republicans and saying that they are evil it is basically like how hollywood said that the Nazis are evil and now they are using other medias so they can do the same thing. It's the exact same thing hollywood did, but how do you think this is brainwashing? People arent given restrictions of what they write about. It's up to the person who writes the book to make the story, the press doesnt make it, the author does, if it isnt written by the government, it should be fine.
