This sounds kind of familiar, doesn't it?

Guilt induction and self-criticism (confession) sessions formed the core of the Red Chinese brainwashing program, and they are still used by many cults. Edward Hunter wrote a beautiful book about the Red Chinese brainwashing that was done to the American, British, and other United Nations prisoners of war in North Korea during the Korean War. He explained the mechanics of "brainwashing" this way:
The Reds had found that the easiest way to subdue any group of people was to give its members a guilt complex and then to lead them on from self-denunciation to self-betrayal. All that was required to put this across was a sufficiently heartless exploitation of the essential goodness in people, so that they would seek self-sacrifice to compensate for their feelings of guilt. The self-sacrifice obviously made available to them in this inside-out environment is some form of treason. -- Edward Hunter, Brainwashing, From Pavlov to Powers, p.169
So, first, the Communist guards would do something like make the prisoners feel guilty for being part of "a rich racist society where they never cared about the fate of the poor Negroes", and then the prisoners had to confess that in self-criticism sessions, and then the only way to atone for such sins was to love and praise the wonderful Chinese Communist society where everyone was equal (but some people were more equal than others).

Speaking of brainwashing, I stumbled across this blog which is directly about the brainwashing that Mary Kay does to its sales reps. Read about reports of women being encouraged to lie to their husbands, how to manipulate your husband into going further into debt by bitching about him being unsupportive - and even how to use Mary Kay to justify and hide affairs!

“Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption.” -- Hillary Clinton
Lol! Exactly what research is that Hillary? I doubt such research was ever done - and if it was, it was likely funded by Mary Kay!
“The American people are tired of liars and people who pretend to be something they're not.” -- Hillary Clinton
