The Monroe Doctrine was crafted by John Quincy Adams who wrote the speech. It's not really a doctrine at all but a series of very loosely connected ideas.

Yes, mind manipulation is an Anglo-Saxon forte that was employed very well during WW1. Then look at Manifest Destiny and other related slogans that came before. As Richard Wolff said, the USA is a savage nation.

I did train as an historian, political-economist and anthropologist, then taught same for a few years--my quad major. The special tutoring I did was the most rewarding as I got to work with a few blind people where I was their eyes for labs and other instruction like describing videos which allowed me to audit the courses while being paid as a tutor/aide. Nice life 20+ years ago.
