This is standard scapegoating practice, isn't it? Think about the kind of advice TOUGHLOVE give to parents. Snoop on your kids, deny them all privacy and autonomy. Constantly accuse them or insinuate that, whatever they're doing with whomever, there's something bad or subversive or sneaky about it. Drive them bug all fuckin' nuts like an obsessive, jealous, paranoid spouse. Then, when you're able to push them over the edge, call them ODD and then call some thug to drag them outa their beds ad night to 'solve' the problem you cooked up w/ their recipe.
The fucked up thing is that they actually believe their own bullshit. Any amount of scrutiny of it is like casting sunlight on a vampire; they screech and howl and go scurrying back into the shadows asif their life depends on it.
And, in a big way, it does. This is why the parents are nearly always so much more brainwashed than the kids. The kids go through the process and are coerced to take one course of action or another to cope. The parents go through a somewhat similar mindfuck, but they all have done something in the interest of working the Program that we have not. They have sacrificed their children to the Program. In order to see the program for what it is, they'd have to reassess what kind of people they are.
That it is wrong for a man to say he is certain of the objective truth of a proposition unless he can provide evidence which logically justifies that certainty. This is what agnosticism asserts and in my opinion, is all that is essential to agnosticism.
