Lying Trumps Truth

5/21/2025

0 Comments

 
This constant lying is not aimed at
making the people believe a lie, but
at ensuring that no one believes any-
thing anymore. A people that can no
longer distinguish between truth and
lies cannot distinguish between right
and wrong. And such a people de-
prived of the power to think and judge
is, without knowing and willing it,
completely subjected to the rule of lies.
With such people, you can do whatever
you want.
Hannah Arendt
German historian and philosopher
1906-1976
