COVID Lies Can Be Overcome With Truth
“The great masses of the people … will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one,” Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf, prior to becoming chancellor and (soon thereafter) dictator of Germany. Hitler employed the “big lie” again and again to beguile the German people into not only voting his National Socialist (Nazi) Party into power, but also surrendering their freedoms.
One big lie was the demonization of the Jews, who were blamed for Germany’s woes. That lie culminated in the Holocaust. Another big lie was the promise of national socialism, which was supposed to make Germany great and prosperous. Instead, Germany endured misery and despotism.
In addition to Hitler, other demagogues throughout history have also used the big lie to great effect to accomplish their nefarious designs. Among them were communist leaders such as Lenin and Mao, who promised a workers’ paradise but delivered a totalitarian nightmare.
