Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.~
Hannah Arendt,* The Origins of Totalitarianism
When a majority of the populace
Believes the propaganda
Of the ruling elite
And refuses to believe the truth
Even though they can see it
With their own eyes
And hear it
With their own ears
They have reached
Herd Immunity!
Hannah Arendt, 1906-1975, was a political philosopher, author, and Holocaust survivor. Her contributions continue to influence political theorists today.
