I feel like all world leaders, particularly those who do terrible things, need someone to be the front man for their operation. Humans (hopefully) don’t want to be part of atrocities, but we also don’t want to make waves. With someone like Goebbels telling the German people, and the rest of the world, that things were not as bad as they seemed and that what had happened wasn’t really going on, people were allowed to let things go, keep their heads down, and pretend it wasn’t happening. This is why we as individuals need to question things and make sure to inform ourselves. Being spoon-fed the pablum of an administration spokesperson or a News channel pundit is not actually helpful.
