"Brainwashing: The Science of Thought Control"

By Kathleen Taylor

Only just started, but it seems to be an engaging book about defining and describing instances of brainwashing, the physiology of brainwashing, and what can be done about it.

Seems rather topical at this time.

They definitely run on hate, some of those guys scream the whole show; others specialize in name calling. None spew anything but false memes.
