It goes right back to Zimbardo's tortute experiments in Stamford. Many (often a majority) only know what they are told to believe. Very few refused to up the voltage to dangerous levels as their victims screamed for mercy. Few learned how easily they could be decieved. Welcome to a whole country that brainwashed.

Which then begs a tough question. How does South Korea unite with the North as the two Germanys did? Difficult to believe a whole nation that brainwashed could suddenly accept a new reality.
