We'll have to agree to disagree. Critical thinking is a sign of intellect; no matter how educated these people are, that's not intellect if they can't think critically.
I do agree that we have to counter the brainwashing, but I fully believe that -- especially by the medical definition of the word -- the people who can't see it are specifically retarded. I'm not talking about the people who feel helpless and go on in spite of knowing without digging further, but the people who simply can't under any circumstances see what is going on, and reject it no matter how much is set in front of them and no matter how many crumbs is laid for them.
It has been extremely obvious for decades that things are not right in the world. Even when I did nothing but sit and play games as a kid, you start to take notice through the way events go that there is more going on than what it seems.
If people can't even understand that, or won't even dig further than the nearest "fact check", then I personally don't see it as being anything but an intelligence issue.
