How does brainwashing actually work?

1.10K views

People throw around the world ‘brainwashing’ a lot but I still don’t know what it means. Is it a ‘repeated truth’? Is it certain mind tricks? Is it some kind of chemical thing?

Disclaimer: not looking to brainwash anyone but there’s a cult in my area that apparently ‘brainwashes’ people

Depends on what kind

The most common and systematic is brainwashing through trauma. Put the victim through terrible abuse and teach them to “go away.” If this happens frequently and intensely enough, you can carve out a second personality. When they reach this new ego, reward them. End the abuse and give them pleasure, treat them like royalty. After numerous sessions of this abuse, you can snap them back and forth between personalities with buzzwords, usually connected to the abuse. The buzzword will warn the brain that torture is coming, and without realizing it the victim will slip into the new personality and “go away.”

This is how you program people to do your bidding.
