I used to think that people generally knew when their propaganda was lies. But ever since I saw the Russian soldiers bring dress uniforms to Ukraine, I’m starting to think that “getting high on their own supply” is far more common than I realized. https://t.co/re9QJ0JVW0

The very best propaganda is that believed by the propagandists themselves. I think this is the case more often than not.
