As a zoomer I grew up watching Dan Schneider's sitcoms on Nickelodeon. The brainwashing is all there, and the day I got redpilled I found myself looking back to all the times I was tricked by those shows.
I want to rewatch them and compile all the tricks they pulled across Drake & Josh, iCarly, and Victorious. The feet jokes are one thing, but those are a red herring imo. For example there's a scene in Drake & Josh where Drake likens women to candy bars, and it's no fun to have to eat one candy bar for the rest of your life. The dad, Walter, is obviously a bumbling idiot which is a classic trope.
And each of the shows have passive references to Jews and Judaism to code it as "just another religion" rather than an ethnic group. My feeling is that by the time I learned about the holocaust in school, I was primed to have an emotional response by believing the Jews were just a funny religious group similar to the Amish, rather than a people intertwined with European history for centuries. To me it really sold the idea that they were arbitrary targets that Hitler incited the Germans against.
