If the government was attempting to control minds, they obviously suck at it, because all you guys are convinced that they are attempting to control yours and have failed.

I don't believe they have any plans to control mine and I still don't trust that they ever tell me the truth when they can avoid it.

The level of education is the form of brainwashing.
Lower level of education <---> greater chances for brainwashing

#2
In other words :
- government does not tell the truth
After years and/or decades of not telling the truth, a certain point of view is being created within a particular population.
That what brainwashing is all about : true vs. false
That is what any governing body does : keep a population within certain distance away from power, while creating an image of (so-called) co-governing a state by variety of fundamental ideological and philosophical altars supported by mass-media.
When some well-educated guys try to remove that image and replace it with the real one, mass-media enters the field. Dealing with a poorly educated society, mass-media reverses that image back, in order to upkeep a state's status quo. As the result : everybody is happy and life goes on, except for those well-educated guys. Years go by, and those well-educated guys - seeing no positive response from that population, switch their objectives and the whole case evaporates.
That is exactly what happens in almost every state.
Exception :
- revolution
- massive social movement
- etc.
Even though, as time elapses the whole situation normalizes and life goes on, back to its ab-normality.

P.S.
French Revolution is one of the best examples of brainwashing.
Times and dates changed. What else ? since Homo Sapiens remains the same ?
