The intense irony of using a picture of stalin for this coming from an american. There's an old anecdote:
A KGB agent and a CIA agent are sitting at a bar having a few drinks. The CIA agent says "You KGB do amazing work with your propaganda, good job, very convincing" and the KGB agent replies "Oh thank you, but it's nothing compared to the propaganda you americans produce", the CIA agent looks confused and says "What do you mean? America doesn't have propaganda".

America is literally a violent terrorist state for most of the world and they have had the best brainwashing campaigns since the 20s, far far better than anything the Soviets had. You people are cooked.

can you update this pls

Big brother is always watching

It works just fine with the latest version as it is, though.

Hey, will you update the mod to 1.2.1 version?

Hmm, actually, I guess I could allow it for everyone. I'll have to think about it.

Ah, I hadn't realized it would only work for non democratic gov's. Might want to add that in the description.

It should be available if you're either NOT democratic or you're playing a synth race with Playable Robots.

one of these must true : Has_Not_Election_Type; Has Trait All Iget is the edict greyed out with these requirments.

Hmm, the idea does have merit. I might tie it to propaganda broadcasts, though, since that's really what that one should have done.

By the way, can you make a planetary version of this edict, so as not to brainwash ALL of your citizens, just the ones who are giving you trouble?

Well, pretty much. I had some FANATICAL xenophobes from a nearby purifier, and they hated me for being the wrong species, hated me for being a pacifist, etc. Pretty much no matter what I did, they hated me, my little alien dog, and the alien horse I rode on in :p

And worse, they were the only ones whose planet preference was pretty much opposite to mine, so I wanted to colonize with them. But yeah, then when they multiply, every child pop on the new planet would hate me too.

So, yeah, that's how I decided to make the mod :p

Mandatory indoctrination is appaling, but... in short, it's impossible to build a stable multi-species empire with xenophobes, they'll just stay butthurt no matter what. So Political Education it is - at least to get those whiners to accept their alien overlords.

I seriously wish I could just implement this based on the pops' divergence, like Paradox stated it would work, but the only script condition even remotely touching divergence is actually just testing how different two factions/pops are in their ethics. So, distasteful as mandatory indoctrination classes may be, for now it seems like the only way to implement this.
