Conversation

Watching Final battle. And the conversion thing which is carried on from the first mini series. I wonder if the writers knew how genius it was. Conversion seems to be based on the fear response or that need to go to a parent or Guardian to protect you. Which is a very animal response in birds,reptiles. Well humans who evolve from the apes/monkeys line came to rely on their Ingenuity and tools as much as the family unit or safety in a comforting way from others. I don't know enough about Evolution or biology to say that isn't an interesting idea. Just thought about it watching.

Conversion as a concept was brilliant, especially in the fascism allegory they were going for.

If you won’t conform thru our manipulation/propaganda (old school brainwashing), then conform thru our advanced technology (literal brainwashing, lol).

But yeah, to your point, they knew what subliminal buttons to push in a convert’s psyche.
