      Said the russophobe who literally went to school with ideological indoctrination to the person who also went through the same indoctrination and disagrees with them despite never having gone through Russian indoctrination programs.

      I mean, in some sense you’re correct, you just don’t understand what brainwashing is. It’s not breaking someone’s mind with lies, which is what your indoctrination tells you it is. Brainwashing was a term coined to describe the process of removing indoctrination, literally washing the brain. You believe what you have believed since childhood because you were indoctrinated into those beliefs and have not washed your brain yet. I am brainwashed, because I went through similar enough schooling that you did but I have changed my beliefs through a difficult and emotional process of challenging my beliefs and discovering which ones were placed there by indoctrination. I washed my brain, and I am sure that I am not yet done with all of the false beliefs placed in me by my upbringing but I am working on it.
