Spot on. There are so many good quotes from him and Goering. I’m not a Nazi weirdo or anything, but they’re just so… Relevant.
Goebbels:
A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.
Makes you think some leaders studied this a bit…
We enter parliament in order to supply ourselves, in the arsenal of democracy, with its own weapons. If democracy is so stupid as to give us free tickets and salaries for this bear’s work, that is its affair. We do not come as friends, nor even as neutrals. We come as enemies. As the wolf bursts into the flock, so we come.

I don’t think it’s the propaganda machine (or maybe this is), but in the US, almost nothing is reported from other countries. If 100,000 people died in some wild natural disaster outside the US, we would get almost no real details, but we would get the full life story of the one American that was killed who was from New Jersey. It’s just the way our media is. No real information. Just dumb sap stories.
It’s the same reason the Republicans haven’t been able to identify when they’re ingesting blatant Russian propaganda. They’ve never seen or heard it before outside of their favorite American talking head.
