The War Against Men Men. Part Two

Have men been innocent of all the claims made against them by feminism? No! Not at all! Any man who thinks that way has not really studied the evidence. However, this series of articles is not about what men have done. That has been pounded at us every day for forty years in one form or another. The questions I want to ask relate to whether or not men have been guilty of all we have been accused of and what, if any, have been the effects of the constant accusations levelled at the male race on a generation of men, women and children.

In order to think about the effects of feminism on modern men it is important to understand how men have reacted to feminism in the form it was imposed upon us in the 1960's. How was it so successful in changing men? What were the techniques used to alter the way millions of men thought about themselves and women? Were the techniques used honest, or were they a form of oppression dumped on men?

How much do you know about the term 'brainwashing?' We have all heard of it, but do we really understand it? How is it done? Why is it done? Who does it? Can it be done to you? Has it been done to you?

A man on the street who decides to join the army is about to get brainwashed.

The civilian gets off of the bus at the army base and is stripped of his clothing. His external identity is removed. He is then screamed at, insulted, put down, forced to work and to "jump" when he is told to jump by his instructors'. Now his internal identity is pulled apart and rebuilt. Over time he is almost completely broken down and rebuilt as a 'good soldier.' It is drummed into him that his loyalty is now to the army, his squad and his superiors. Only when the army is satisfied that the job is done, is he passed out to become a real soldier.

This passing out ceremony is his reward and great fanfare accompanies the ceremony. He is made to feel pride in the fact that he has lost his personal identity and become a tool for use on the battlefield. He has been reprogrammed. Brainwashed. His thoughts now belong to the army.

OK. Fine. He knew, or should have known, that this would happen when he joined up. Therefore, there is an element of voluntary choice in his actions. What happens though, when people are not given such a choice? When they are brainwashed against their will? Well, that is when they become slaves!

Let's take the time to define brainwashing.

Brainwashing:

"Indoctrination that forces people to abandon their beliefs in favour of another set of beliefs. Usually associated with military and political interrogation and religious conversion, brainwashing attempts, through prolonged stress, to break down an individual's physical and mental defences. Brainwashing techniques range from vocal persuasion and threats to punishment, physical deprivation, mind-altering drugs, and severe physical torture."

Note carefully the words "forces" and, "prolonged stress." It is these words that separate brainwashing from education. When we educate someone we encourage them to take a rounded thoughtful view of the problems they are studying. When someone is brainwashed it is like saying: "Think THIS WAY or else."

To brainwash a whole society is not as difficult as it first seems to appear. What is needed is to first identify that societies cherished beliefs and then to attack those beliefs over and over again. This induces confusion in the people. As the attacks progress and become ever more intense, to confusion is added, fear. When the confusion and fear have reached critical levels, one merely has to substitute a calm reassuring voice that says, "We have the answers to your confusion and fear. Listen to us." The military, the police, Communist and other left wing (and right wing) regimes and religious cults, all use these techniques to varying degrees and with varying success, for various reasons. They can have devastating effects on people and even whole populations. Consider Chairman Mao's 'Cultural Revolution' for example. David Koresh was another who used brainwashing to great effect in Waco and to this day, some of his followers still believe him to be a messiah; albeit, a dead one.

These techniques can be used, in malevolent hands, to turn whole sections of the people against each other, as happened in Nazi Germany. The people are largely unaware that they have been brainwashed and the messages they receive, constantly reassure them (or threaten them if the brainwashing has not been successful), into believing that any doubts or concerns they have will be removed, just by listening to the elites in government over them. It is a peculiar and dangerous effect of brainwashing that the subjects can be reduced to such a state that they come to see their brainwashers as their friends (Also known as Stockholm Syndrome).This leads them to defend their attackers and their attackers ideology, often very strongly. Where this happens, it is strong evidence that the brainwashing has been a total success in that subject and the effected subject may then be used to attack their previous friends, perhaps verbally, physically, by isolation, or a combination of all of these things.

The deprogramming of these people can be very difficult as long as the subject is in constant touch with their oppressors. This is because whenever the subject has doubts and voices them, his colleagues will reinforce his programming. Hence this process is called, 'reinforcement'

The constant reinforcement of ideas can have a powerful effect. These techniques has been used by groups as diverse as the Ku Klux Klan, feminism and advertisers. Hollywood and the TV industry have often been accused of using reinforcement to help create violence and immorality in society, whether by accident or design and there is very little doubt that the constant dribble of violent and sexual images has had an effect on society. If reinforcement were not such a powerful tool, then advertisers would not spend billions on using it.

Having introduced this subject in what I hope is a clear and relatively concise way; in my next article I want to examine how radical feminists have used these techniques; beginning in the 1960's through to today, to indoctrinate whole populations and create savage anti male hatred in their converts. I also want to look at the effects of this brainwashing on our political and social establishments and on you and I, in future articles.
