    for sure. the indoctrination goes hard in the military, police forces and similar institutions.

    people i know who went through these never go back to having sound critical thought and they stay a bit aggressive forever.

      Total institutionalization. Total institutes break down the ego to rebuild it into whatever the institute wants it to be. It’s extremely difficult to regain a sense of self completely free of the institute, past a certain amount of conditioning. This is anything from the current El Salvadoran CECOT, to rehabilitation facilities to skilled nursing facilities to reeducation facilities to monastsries and boarding schools.
