From the link above "Where did the term "the Big Lie" come from? It comes from Adolf Hitler, actually. In Mein Kampf, he accused Jews of spreading lies about how the German army performed in World War I." Adolf Hitler first defined the Big Lie as a deviant tool wielded by Viennese Jews to discredit the Germans' deportment in World War I. Yet, in tragically ironic fashion, it was Hitler and his Nazi regime that actually employed the mendacious strategy. In an effort to rewrite history and blame European Jews for Germany's defeat in World War I, Hitler and his propaganda minister accused them of profiting from the war, consorting with foreign powers and "war shirking" (avoiding conscription). Jews, Hitler contended, were the weak underbelly of the Weimer state that exposed the loyal and true German population to catastrophic collapse. To sell this narrative, Joseph Goebbels insisted "all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a key element of Nazi propaganda. Surely you can come up with something original and less bigoted? A true and interesting remark. It seems the expression (Grosse Lűge) was coined by Hitler. The big lie is also known as a propaganda technique, used by the Nazis and others, I.e. Goebbels: “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Connoisseurs will identify the similarity with Bannon's precepts. Maybe an intellectual filiation? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lemmie Posted August 2, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2022 After winning more votes than any presidential candidate in US history, Joe Biden is now – just 18 months later – one of the country’s most unpopular presidents. Why would Biden be so unpopular and such a failure, he reversed most of what Trump MAGA delivered that benefited America and he basically did the exact opposite of Trump. I spose Biden is just plain dumb and disliked now. The democrats found a way to beat Trump in 2020 but they definitely don't know how to govern and now America is in a mess and we are paying dearly for the destructive policies of the Biden admin. Biden may be dumb, but the 81M who voted for him are looking as dumb or dumber than Biden. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you will disagree but LGBT-ABCDEFG issues are not issues facing the nation. Post solutions instead of "Conservatives bad" rhetoric. Or is it you have nothing. Biden's poll numbers are tanking the Democratic party and Kamala doesn't provide anything to back him up. The Democratic party went woke and they will go broke in the midterms. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they've done either nothing, or the exact opposite. The energy price is not a domestic issue and It's not the local production which will have much effect. On top of it, several projects have been halted during the pandemic and it seems energy companies are not keen to invest. Biden's plan may help a bit (selling oil from strategic reserve and guarantee refill orders to producers), but not sure it will have much impact on the global market. Lowering taxes has a similar effect as spending to help the American people (people spend more money, which increases inflation). The difference is that tax cuts à la Trump benefit the rich, while targeted subsidies can help the poor and people in need at specific occasions. Tax cuts also increase budget deficit in the same way as spending (ex. Trumps tax cuts) Edited August 2, 2022 by candide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
