“Strange times are these in which we live when old and young are taught
falsehoods in school. And the person that dares to tell the truth is called at once a lunatic and fool.”
- Plato
Adolf Hitler, in his 1925 book ‘Mein Kampf’, explains that when it comes to lying, it’s best to go big: All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature
than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their
minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they
themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort
to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate
colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the
impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which
prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt
and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other
explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even
after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this
world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying.
