Just watch YouTube videos about politics.

Not a book or movie but just go to the Test Board and pick a side.

My wife was going to Pitt when we married. She has since been converted to the good guys. She credits it more to exposure to Pitt than exposure to Penn State.

Seduced and The Vow ate both documentaries on the NXIVM cult
Going Clear is another about Scientology
HBO Max has one about Heaven's Gate.

was Logan's Run on this list? that may not totally be brainwash vs secret genocide like Soylent Green.

thinking that Tolstoy would be writer for this topic. Dr Zhivago comes to mind also. also any movie covering Mao and Chinese revolution would be fit as well as something covering Cuba and Fidel. movies covering Hitler's rise probably similar.

if you expand to the machine/ray zapping movies you get ones like the Black Hole.

Same as maybe ‘The Island’ (film) and the short story ‘The Lottery.’ Latter is more tradition for tradition’s sake but still - f’d up way of thinking.

Not strictly politics, but it applies, at least to me. I enjoyed and shared this 20 min YouTube with friends.

Your name wouldn't happen to be Luna, would it?

 

[republion]

No exactly brainwashed, but even better. Check out Jacob’s Ladder. One of the craziest movies I’ve ever seen.

 

[Shadow99]

The Matrix?

That would qualify, no?
