I wonder where else brainwashing occurs. I think another example is the blind faith in science, that it will lead to more knowledge of everything over time. Yet humanities scholars haven't had any contributions for about a hundred years and even STEM is still owing us rocket packs and flying cars. Science is awesome and everything, because it allows for predictions that come true. But people shouldn't put faith in it and treat it like a religion. "98% of scientists have a consensus". And if all of them agreed, they could still be wrong, because unlike religion it doesn't matter what people agreed on. It's either true or it isn't. Of course, the consequences of being right about science stuff everyone else got wrong are as disastrous as believing in the wrong god.
It seems to me to be relegated to issues that directly concern our extinction... ideologies like feminism are mainstream and untouchable. Just try to announce that you are opposed to feminism, and see how long you keep your job. Race issues are another - race and IQ... race and crime... racial differences as a whole... it is imperative that we see every human being as exactly equal to every other, so the Great Equalization can keep moving forward. Medical issues like vaccinations, and science issues like global warming... also issues around white identity and culture.
Also, to further this point - I'd say probably about 75% of people in general just don't want to challenge the status quo, because challenging the status quo means making life very uncomfortable for them. Also, they take a look at some of the shit behind said, and think things like "well, women's rights aren't a bad thing...." but don't think of the remaining negativity ascribed to it by the powers that be.
The leftist fucks and so forth capitalise on this and use that as carte blanche to steamroller through everyone else's personal boundaries. The response is for most people to just stand back and take it, rather than to oppose it vehemently. They have no qualms to then use this lack of response to mean that "everyone agrees with it" and to shame those who do not agree.
However, standing by and doing nothing is supporting the other side by passive resistance, which these clowns latch onto and use as a weapon to demonise the rest.
