Propaganda has a purpose beyond simple deception.  Lies aren’t crafted just for the thrill of misleading; they serve a deeper objective.  You aren’t simply told lies—you’re being groomed to accept them.  From childhood, your education prepares you for the steady diet of misinformation that comes later in life.  The state-sponsored conditioning makes your mind fertile ground for incoherent and misleading information, allowing propaganda to take root seamlessly.

The so-called intellectuals—those celebrated for their intelligence—are often the most vulnerable to propaganda.  Their superior cognitive abilities, which enable them to process and absorb information, become a double-edged sword.  As thought leaders, they face immense pressure to voice opinions on a wide array of issues, many of which they have no genuine expertise in.  The result? They repeat what they know best: the narratives they’ve been fed.  These intellectuals transform into mouthpieces for the state, reinforcing the very lies they should be challenging.

Truth, however, is not subject to majority rule.  The essence of propaganda thrives on ignoring this reality.  Propagandists appeal to popular opinion, making truth seem as if it’s determined by consensus.  This is a fallacy—an illusion of truth formed by social proof.  Just because many people believe something doesn’t make it true.  The next time you’re told that “most people believe” a particular idea, remember, that statement is designed to bypass your logic.  It’s a tactic to make you question your reasoning and accept the lie.

Successful propaganda doesn’t stop with mere deception.  It’s designed to suppress free thought.  If the propagandist allows certain issues to be freely discussed, it opens the door for truth to emerge and unravel the web of lies.  The solution?  Restrict free speech.  Label dissenting views as “misinformation” or “disinformation.” Ironically, when you hear those labels, it often signals something worth examining more closely, as the powers that be are desperate to prevent the truth from surfacing.

From your early schooling to the news you consume as an adult, the lies are relentless.  The education system is a pre-conditioning process, a preparatory stage for the more sophisticated forms of propaganda you’ll encounter later.  There’s a reason those in control push so hard for higher education to become a universal standard.  The more years they have to shape your thinking, the more susceptible you become to their narratives, no matter how absurd they might seem.

The truth is, the absurdity of propaganda is intentional.  It’s not a flaw but a feature of the system.  Ridiculous claims condition the mind to accept the illogical and the impossible.  Those pushing the propaganda will never stop—they can’t afford to.  For as long as you remain exposed to the lies, questioning the truth becomes harder, and the cycle of deception continues.
