I hate to bring it to this but... "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it."  "The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State." Joseph Goebbels "Why of course the people don't want war ... But after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship ...Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger." Hermann Goering Now remove the "State" or the war bits, and you can see how in those two quotes many people and politicians, radical groups of all stripes use that type of thinking and planning in what they do. Don't like the truth? Repeat lies over lies over lies. People start believing that over the truth. It gets worse. Some people, even after being shown that what they believe is 100% wrong, and even acknowledging that fact, still choose to believe the lie, and in fact will double down on it. That's how good this shit works. And no, I am in no way, shape or form calling people who use those tactics nazis. They were used before there were nazis and they are being used today by people who are not nazis. Those are just some good quotes. I don't know if you have seen Robert Whul's Assume the Position 101 and 201, its a really good thing to watch if you can find it. In it he does talk about how history gets changed. "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend". If you haven't seen it I would suggest hunting it down and waching them. They are entertaining to watch and very interesting.
