You’re reducing a wide range of economic, social and personal reasons to a “brainwashed culture.” That’s an extremely narrow way of looking at the world. Even if culture plays a role, the real discussion would be who shapes that culture and why. Your approach is so one dimensional that misses all the depth and complexity behind people’s choices.

And you seem to believe tens of millions of people all come to a decision that undercuts their own biological imperative on their own with no outside influence. Not buying it.

No, I didn’t say people make decisions with zero outside influence. My point is that their reasons are diverse and reducing all of them to a single explanation like “propaganda” is one dimensional.
