The purpose of "constant lying" on X

Blazing Reader,

German philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) believed that the "constant lying" we are exposed to from the media, politicians, and academia is not meant to make us believe their lies. Rather, the purpose behind so many falsehoods is far more cunning.

Read what Arendt says in this meme I posted on X (formerly known as Twitter for anybody who has not caught on yet):

If you agree with her, please like and re-post the meme.

And if you disagree, leave a comment letting us know why.
