  63. Sorry, but “Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it,” may be a bit cynical, but it doesn't warrant an apology from the school in whose yearbook someone wrote it. Even if it originated with Goebbels, there's nothing inherently racist or antisemitic about it. It's even been endorsed by any number of American leaders: "I am not a crook." "I did not have sex with that woman." "No collusion!"

    1. jan,
      Thanks for linking that.
      Every time I think I have discovered the vast extent of stupidity in this country I am soon amazed at how wrong I was. And this idiot is the principal of the high school!
      I think we all owe a huge debt of gratitude to Herr Goebbels for that enlightening quote. It is as true today as ever it was when first spoken, and we should all be aware of it. The student in question deserved to be valedictorian. He (Goebbels) also knew how to dress well too. Should we therefore consider that to be antisemitic?

      Don't forget, it is Trump, who said Democrats are responsible for the mistreatment of refugee children arriving at our borders.

    2. I keep thinking of how prophetic that movie "Idiocracy" really was.     

      Delete
    3. Thanks for this Jan,
      Hard to know which part is most ridiculous:
      1) Implying the quote is anti-Semitic? The quote lays the groundwork for a proto-fascist authoritarian government, and for how to mislead the citizenry.
      2) Portraying this as an anti-Semitic incident? The student apparently didn't know the source of the quote.
      3) Ignoring the current context? It is more likely the student is aware of the current political context and the abuse of power.
      4) Similarly to SDB, at some point even the most horrible person will likely say something that has truth to it.

      It is well known that the people of India hated Jews thousands of years before Judaism existed. Even earlier for the Paleolithic people of what is now Ukraine.

      The local morons are correct that this is a teaching moment. Goebbels had a rare moment of speaking the truth, and the lesson should be about how propaganda works on those who don't think. Including the people of Andover.

You may provide indirect hints to the answer to show you know it, but make sure they don't assist with solving. You can openly discuss your hints and the answer after the deadline. Thank you.
