Years ago, when I lived in Ukraine, I visited Chernobyl. As part of the tour, you stop on the way at the Duga radar installation. It was an extremely large secret radar system used by the Soviets. About 150 meters / 500 feet tall off the ground.
This creates an obvious problem - how can you have a secret radar base that you can see like 10km away. So what they did was they called it a "kids summer camp" and they put a big cartoon bear on the entrance. Of course, if you were a local and asked too many questions about this obvious BS story - you were taken away to disappear somewhere.
I remember thinking, "Wow, it must have been wild to live in a time when everything was such an obvious lie or total propaganda". Yet here we are in 2024 and we see even high levels of propaganda every day in most mainstream news sources.
They expect you not to question the most obvious facts you can observe around you. And instead "simply skip breakfast" or some other nonsense. Being able to just see reality as it is is probably one of the most overlooked skills right now.
“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984
