There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas.

Talk:Brainwashing
Could this be category:pseudoscience as I'm sure there are plenty of connections, certainly it could go with conspiracy theories. ArmondikoVpostate 10:04, 7 November 2008 (EST)
- It is certainly possible to influence the personality of people, and quite a lot of governments and religions did or do this. The line between propaganda and brainwashing is very thin, and as such hard to see. 94.215.59.254 10:33, 7 November 2008 (EST)
- Definitely worth thinking about that and adding it in, it's a little stubby as it is. ArmondikoVpostate 10:40, 7 November 2008 (EST)
deprogramming[edit]
I think the para that I added about deprogramming gives new info and has added value. Andries (talk) 06:21, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

blame shifting para[edit]
So why was this para removed? I think it gives a good explanation why the theory is attractive and persists. Even if there is no evidence to support it, there is reason to expect it to persist. Andries (talk) 11:33, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
What do Abusive friends & loved ones, Cults, and Totalitarian governments have in common?[edit]
They all involve some form of brainwashing. This should be a HIGH priority article or at least a MID priority article. I don't know enough about the coding of this website and the subject itself but if someone could please help this article with me I would be very pleased.--Jakester499 (talk) 01:40, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
