I think you're over complicating it anon. It's actually very simple: Just consistently associate a particular word or phrase with being 'bad' in media. Look at the phrase 'conspiracy theory', there's is nothing inherently wrong or bad about it, however the second the news calls something a 'conspiracy theory' people's brains automatically rule it out as wrong.

No, there are always greater ways to do things, especially mind control. If you want to control the masses, then your method makes sense. For specific individuals, you can go further with the methods, achieve more permanent results.

True, it must be part of a greater effort, I just think people often give more credit than is actually do. Mob mentality is a hell of a drug. There's a critical mass where regular people will do your work for you. At that point it's not about the authority policing thought, it's about people policing themselves. I think the perfect example is how media has changed in the past decade or so. For decades the mind control was the norm, but we've seen a massive resurgence in brainwashing because people are starting to realise there are different options. It's kind of like there is 'soft' brainwashing with just drip feeding what you want through media and people accepting it vs 'hard' brainwashing where you are actively pushing a narrative hard on all fronts.
