Brainwashing.

The techniques initiated by Ronald Reagan and his corporate allies are a form of brainwashing.

Imposing violence and intimidation of left-wing thinking through the hatred of Generation X they offered respite if your thinking conformed to their right-wing views.

This was called Reconstruction. 

And it has affected whole generations.

The methods that the corporations adapted from George Orwell's 1984 are also brainwashing techniques.

These were backed up by violence - verbal, emotional, psychic, spiritual, and physical.

It can be clearly seen on Fox News.

So turn off the T.V..

And think back before 1984.

Then you will be free.
