Do you know what the term brainwashed means?

Not trying to be shitty here, honest question

I'd think It's synonymous with indoctrinated, where the indoctrination can be considered as lacking in verifiable fact.

I use the Oxford dictionary, seems to be free from leftist meddling

here's their definition: `to force someone to accept your ideas or beliefs, for example by repeating the same thing many times or by preventing the person from thinking clearly`

'preventing the person from thinking clearly'

Now I'm not thinking clearly?

to impose belief in something where there is nothing to suggest belief or contrary is 'not thinking clearly'

I am thinking very clearly, and nobody has forced their ideas or beliefs onto me

brainwashing necessarily requires a 2nd *human* party

Right

How about did you come across your faith?

freely choosing to believe something is not a form of brainwashing

you could say I'm misguided

but that's an opinion

I'd argue it's a statement considering there isn't evidence for the position

evidence and facts aren't relevant here

Why so?

can you be brainwashed into believing something false?

or brainwashed into NOT believing something false?

Both

Assuming your definition

But I was referring to 'that's an opinion'

I retract brainwashed for indoctrinated or 'misguided'

thinking that someone is misguided is subjective

therefore I relegate it to the realm of opinions

What is the oxford dictionary definition for misguided

`Having or showing faulty judgement or reasoning.`

Correct

Does the imply subjectivity?

judgement is subjective

What's the definition of judgement

An opinion or conclusion.

Is that the oxford dictionary conclusion?

'The ability to make considered decisions or come to sensible conclusions.'

for the count noun, yes

The mass noun would be correct for usage, the example provided showcases this: '‘an error of judgement’

which is subjective

either way lol

some judgements *can be* objective

Right
