If you are younger than 50, there were probably times growing up when you saw something on TV, or in a movie, and it surprised you that it was allowed. Making fun of gays or blacks, that kind of thing. The reason you found it shocking is that you'd been indoctrinated, and the (older) makers of it had not. It's the same with laws and government: "how do we still have the right to have guns? Everyone knows they're dangerous! I'm glad we do, but it's surprising." It's surprising because you'd been indoctrinated, even if you disagreed, and the older generation had not (at least, in the same way).
In those times when you were shocked, nothing changed; and that surprised you too. But back then, you and those around you were not in charge of anything. Now, that generation is in charge of things. From hiring, to advertising to, God help us, politics.
The generation that was brainwashed is now at the wheel. All the things they were taught in school and by the media are now the reality, and this is why things are so messed up: it is the conclusion of the plot set in motion in the 60s (the one Yuri Bezmenov talked about).
The good news is that you have the ability to change it! Feel powerless? You're not, and you know this because the people who messed things up at the grass roots are the same people as you. Think about ways you can act, and act. If they messed it up, you can work to fix it.
