Are politicians trying to brainwash you? – Alex Andreou and Daniel Pick on the new era of thought control

By Podmasters

Brainwashing has been utilised as a political tool for centuries. How exactly is it weaponised today? Daniel Pick, author of Brainwashed: A New History of Thought Control, discusses the history and contemporary manifestations of thought control with Alex Andreou, in The Bunker.  • “Brainwashing seeks both to decimate and damage the mind – and to infiltrate ideas and to organise ideologies in a systematic way.” – Daniel Pick • “Behavioural units exist within governments, including Downing Street, to advise on the best way to nudge people in a benign way. Such units were utilised, for example, during the Covid pandemic.” – Daniel Pick www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Alex Andreou. Producer: Eliza Davis Beard. Audio production: Simon Williams.
