Because propaganda and subversion

but why

1. The lies support emotional bias.
2. The lies can be used to manipulate and gain power.
3. The lies prevent introspection and admission of previously wrong beliefs.
4. The lies are easier to understand and don’t require the work truth does.

Truth is relative though, no?

I don't think so.

Those might be judgements or opinions, not truths.

@Coldburger the children of the lie have too much power

Only the great white hope has the power to make them see the truth

I need an example of how truth can be relative..

Most people cant think for themselves because there lost, so its easier for them to believe mainstream media.

A lie is easier to believe.

Thats why the blue pill is easier to take than the black pill.

Also keep in mind fellas.. these people believe in the lie.. to them it's true.

Herd mentality is kinda unique.

You sure

Blessed is he in the name of charity and good will, sheperds the weak through the valley of darkness for he truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost sheep

*Somewhere in Ezekiel 25:17

So something can be true to one person, but not true to another person @Robert? Well that's how truth can be relative

That is silly, imo.

2+2 = 5 to me

so thats a truth

?

pft

Okay, interesting. I wouldn't call that truth -- personally I'd call that subjective reality/bias..

*AND I WILL STRIKE DOWN UPON THEE WITH GREAT VENEGANCE AND FURRRRRIOUS ANGER*
