If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you may even come to believe it yourself. - Joseph Goebbels

Hello, I am Joseph Goebbels, and I served as the Minister of Propaganda during the Nazi regime in Germany. One of the most enduring observations attributed to me is this: "If you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it, and you may even come to believe it yourself." In my time, this principle formed the cornerstone of our strategy to influence public opinion and control the narrative. The objective was clear: to erode the public’s ability to question, to replace critical thinking with blind acceptance, and to consolidate power through the manipulation of truth. Propaganda was not merely a tool for communication; it was a weapon, wielded to shape reality itself. By repeating falsehoods, we sought to make them indistinguishable from truth. Messages were crafted to exploit emotions—fear, anger, pride—and were repeated incessantly through every available medium: newspapers, radio broadcasts, public speeches, and even art. Over time, the repetition of these lies created a veneer of credibility. Even the most outlandish claims, once echoed enough times, became accepted as fact by a significant portion of the population. This tactic was devastatingly effective. It allowed us to justify policies of aggression, marginalize entire groups of people, and rally a nation toward war.
