Exactly- it’s amazing the amount of power the left have and how the msm and ilk all fall into line when told to do something or accept something that is an obvious blatant lie- you’ve probably seen the quote below before as ive posted it a few times, but if not- it sums up what is going on
-——Theodore Dalrymple———
“In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that
the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not
to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to
reality the better.
When people are forced to remain silent when they
are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced
to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense
of probity. To assent to obvious lies is...in some small way to become
evil oneself.
One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even
destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think
if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is
intended to.”
Written by Theodore Dalrymple
Intereting quote.
It goes hand in hand with the Rod Dreher book titled “Live Not By Lies: A Manual for Christian Dissidents”, Mattias Desmet’s recent book about mass formation pshychosis titled “THE PSYCHOLOGY OF TOTALITARIANISM” and that Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov interview where he spoke of demoralizing a society to the point where society becomes unable to accept logic, reason, or truth.

This is what we must combat. We must be vocal in not accepting lies and warning others of the threat of conceding to lies.
Examples of current lies...”safe and effective”, climate change, methane and CO2 emissions, the queer agenda, pedophilia,free and fair elections...we could go on and on..
Desmet addresses this clearly in the Carlson interview and the two examples in history where the people “went along” with the lies.
If I recall correctly from the Desmet iterview:
20-25% will go along with the lies, endorse the lies, never questioning them and continually brainwash and gaslight everyone else.
60-65% will, under the pressure to conform, follow the first group, though they inwardly know they are believing and following the lies, even calling the lies absurd. These are the go-along-to-get-along (GATGA) crowd.
5-10% are the vocal minority who are steadfast in calling the lies what they are. Lies.
The battle is for the minds of the second group, the GATGA crowd and the 5-10% minority must never be silent and must bring the 60% out of their willfull ignorance. The first group is unreachable. If the third group is silenced, or chooses to be silent, the society collapses to the lies. The two examples from history where the thrid group failed are Germany falling to the Nazis and Russia falling to the communists.
Doctor Shivago (sic?) movie is filled with clear examples of the communist lies and clearly shows the three different groups in their roles. So too, this can be seen in the movie “The Patriot”
