That is what they have done to them BTW.
Multiple years of indoctrination, telling them their unhealthy obsessions are normal, and that anyone who disagrees with them (really the disagrees with the cult group think) is not to be listened to, better yet, ban them from conversation unless they agree with the cult's answers.
The brainwashing MSM and Schools has too many people thinking a "disagreement" is automatically a Global Enemy.
Very Dangerous as we are seeing on larger scales
If we didn't teach our kids right, if we didn't correct the misconceptions that the indoctrination was producing in them, then the fault is our own. We can't pass that buck on to the MSM or the schools if we were asleep at the wheel while the kids were being indoctrinated. That is on US, and us alone. It's a matter of that pesky "personal responsibility" that you hear talked about so much and yet used so little.
Never be too busy to talk to or interact with your kids. They have a million questions that only YOU have the answers to. If they don't get the answers from you, they'll sure as hell soak up the lies and bullshit from elsewhere.
