you and duckduckgo just taught me that "american indoctrination" is the wrong descriptor since it's already a well known phrase that describes something else; i used like i used my dnc/democrat distinction, it was my own personal shorthand until now.

what i named "american indoctrination" (as of 30 minutes or so ago) described my impression of modern day zeitgeist of the american middle-to-upper middle class. those two classes mostly share similar material conditions and usually do not have social relations with anyone outside of those two sub-classes. (they also tend to ostracize the lower middle class and working poor). the french used to call them petite bourgeoisie and most are not by american standards but they unquestionably are so by global south and empirical periphery standards; they're also the democrat's most loyal voters and most of the ones in that latter upper-middle-class category are republicans.
