Brainwashing

A definition of brainwashing is: Persuasion by Propaganda or Salesmanship which
implies that one has given up individual independent  though process.

I find that scary, because my mind and my intelligence are things that I value. 

Old fashioned things like freedom of speech, where in the attitude of respect of others, 
and in a democratic mind-set, one could agree to disagree on issues, seems to exist no longer.

I expressed a few years ago that I did not see the relevance in the demand for 
gay marriage, because the definition of marriage is a life long union between a man and a woman.



I said that if we want to change the definition of something that has been understood in one 
particular way for hundreds of years, we are into the realm of manipulation.
When two gay men claim also as their human and civil right to have children, even though
biologically this is impossible, we are of course also talking about manipulation.

I was accused of being homophobic, and not wanting gays to be happy.

Diversity, variety, differences. 
In people, in gender, in countries, in languages, in animals, in geography and in cultures, this is good.

But the process of brainwashing that has been going on for a long time aims at completely wiping out differences. We are all to be identical and uniform. 

Men and women, straight and gay, countries.
No matter where you go in the world now you find the same shops and the same set up.
And the only thing that has value is money.

The reason why brainwashing succeeds is because a lot of people are lazy and indifferent, 
but the consequences of it will be suffered by everyone. 
It is a bit like hypnosis.
Do you remember all those TV shows where famous stage hypnotists would get hapless audience spectators to come up on stage and do and say the most ridiculous things?
It is the same process, but with the difference that life is not an entertainment show.

Also, the demand for free abortion that was brought into law in Ireland. 
Ireland, the last bastion in the world that protected the most vulnerable beings: fully living beings
that had not yet been born, did away with this law too, in a land slide "Yes" result, in the name of modernity.
It seemed to be about being like all the other countries that have abortion, to be "as good as them".
