Indeed. There are so many things programmed into the kids these days via the "education" system that they don't actually learn how to think critically or to question the narrative. Why do you think LGBTQ and Trans are pushing so hard to get into the elementary schools? I don't want to list all the things being pushed into these beautiful, powerful minds, but it scares me.

That same behavior is noticeable in most people of all ages. Classic NPC response. I'm inclined to think it's brainwashing on a multi-generational societal scale, paired with programming people for 12+ years in school to accept what they're told and not to question authority. But there's always the slim chance that peoples' consciousnesses are being overwritten by some borg like AI, and that "people" aren't really people anymore.
