indoctrinate
This term carries a strong negative connotation, implying a process of psychological manipulation where the subject is stripped of critical thinking. It differs from teaching or educating in that it demands absolute submission to a dogma rather than encouraging inquiry or intellectual growth.
Usage typically occurs in political, religious, or military contexts. It suggests a systematic, often coercive effort to reshape a person's worldview, making it a common term in critiques of authoritarian regimes or cult-like organizations.
