"If the situation was hopeless, the propaganda wouldn't be necessary."
Perhaps one of the most insidious lines in history.
There's a reason the controlled opposition loves repeating it, because it's an inversion of the truth.
The propaganda is there precisely to give you hope, not to take it away. When people lose all hope, they react, they revolt, because they know they have nothing to lose.
The line should instead read: The more hopeless the situation, the more the propaganda is necessary.
