It's called a program for a reason. The program directs the way you view at things, whether you are aware of it or not.

I don't think we are being brainwashed in the sense of being directly controlled, but the media is definitely manipulated to focus on certain events and topics. Dumb people might fall for this, but it's very easy for a driven person to go find alternate sources and fact check. We're not magically being zombified or anything like that, but every outlet has an owner, and every owner has an agenda.

Lotto. The lottery is designed to keep everyone quiet, compliant and in their place. People will buy a ticket each week, partake in little luck building rituals - all with the hope of winning bug and escaping their horrible, boring, poor lives.
The lottery keeps them content with their shitty life. They think all they have to do is put up with it until their numbers come in. If not for the lotto they would have no hope and no one would be doing the menial tasks.

Maybe that anon just turns up at their door and screams at them in tongues whilst pushing lottery tickets into them until they throw money at him and take a ticket out of pure fear.
Like Santa but with dementia.
It's called acculturation. It's a well understood phenomenon.
Want to be deprogrammed? Psychedelics and critical thinking, but avoid malicious programing while you're on said psychedelics.
