"students are put through the same brainwashing techniques in order to create a complacent labor force working in the interests of large corporations and secretive government, and worst of all, they are completely unaware of it" I'm not so sure they're unaware of what they're doing. Don't most people go to university to "get a job"? Which typically means a 9-5 corporate cog paid to do the corporations bidding for most of your waking hours. That's actually what people want out of their four year piece of paper. Most people have already accepted and acknowledge that university isn't required to perform these jobs, but it's required to acquire these jobs, so they go through it. There will be few who are there for the education itself, and perhaps go on to research positions for much lesser pay than the successful corporate cogs. But it's no mystery that the vast majority are there to willingly become part of the complacent labour force.
