Yes but also the brainwashing wouldn't be effective if Americans didn't eat it up, which they do. It takes two to tango and the population here is really ignorant on many fronts, and that's not just the media or government's fault.

And arguing that Americans aren't really psycho doesn't work that well especially with the elections and their beliefs in general. Americans seem the most psycho to me, but hey I just live here.

I really don't think Americans have some unique makeup that makes us different, we're all just humans. What's different in America is the effort spent and the success achieved in manipulating our population to be hateful and scared.

I do take your point though, we are still culpable. It does take two to tango.
