What is the endgame with all this child-focused promotion?

Socialisation and indoctrination.

Children don't have the critical thinking skills to question the message and are likely to take it on board wholeheartedly.

There is a considerable amount of socialisation and indoctrination in all societies, it's just a lot of it drummed into us from when we are very young, so it becomes not noticeable to adults. However travelling to another country where you understand the language can highlight the socialisation and indoctrination that is happening there.

Traveling to New Zealand will highlight how the government promotes extreme fear and uncertainty about nuclear energy and genetically modified organisms, whilst someone from NZ traveling to the US would notice over the top extreme patriotism that is used to try to keep the US together even if it is a melting pot of different contradictory interests. If it happens from a young age, people just don't notice it happening.

Agreed. Here in the US we are fed patriotism from kindergarten on.

That's why Tran, Inc. is so smart (and wicked) starting their propaganda now in pre-kindergarten with the nationwide annual reading of "I AM JAZZ" about the poor kid whose mother decided he was transgender when he was too young to be anything

You are so right, living in different countries it really is interesting how certain issues are prioritized and some are not.
