    Yes it exists. With the internet it's much more easier to brainwash someone. You wouldn't know it unless you come out of bubble.

    I witnessed a few weeks ago the following.

    Daughter and Tay said LGBTQ. Some idiot attacked them for not using all the letters. Was offended on BEHALF of that group. To two lesbians. Married LESBIANS. Tay being Tay just said "We are that group. Stop telling US what WE have to say.". Guy was gobsmacked.

    All people are to an extent conditioned and influenced to believe in things, whether real or fake.

    Nobody is a virgin in their ideas and beliefs, we are always influenced by people or societies in one way or another. On the religious issue, I am a believer and I don't care if my parents brainwashed me with the Catholic religion. It could be the opposite, not believing in anything, but it is also brainwashing. If I have been brainwashed by the Catholic religion, I will say two things:

    1) I am happy to live my life with the Catholic religion.
    2) Those beliefs helped my sister and helped me a lot when I most needed that support and to be strong.

    If the Catholic religion is brainwashing, blessed brainwashing.

    No one is wanting to argue that if you find solace in your faith, it is fine for you.

    But when one becomes of age of adulthood, one should reflect and question most everything they were taught.

    I did, and I found what I had been taught was purely the instructions from a man or a group of men, all who had
    something to gain in what they espoused as "truth". All with an undertone of "Give to me/us".
    Or "Adore who I say to adore, and respect who I say to respect"

    But I will say, that is present in all Faiths and Denominations.

    Without being wrong, I would say that we have all had a moment of rebellion, when we want to break with the past, distance ourselves from our parents and show that we are so old that we don't need anything from our parents, that we are independent of them and everything they have taught us. I have also had that time of rebellion in my life, but when time passes and you decide to freely return to what was the faith of your elders and, moreover, that faith helps you in very critical moments of your life, it doesn't matter if you have been brainwashed, because in those moments it is not only what you have been taught, but also when you understand that you have found your own path. If that path coincides with other people who say they worship or respect someone in particular, it is only coincidence, but that coincidence does not condition my beliefs, because I have returned to them by my own decision.
