   "The political theorist Hannah Arendt once wrote that the most successful totalitarian leaders of the 20th century instilled in their followers 'a mixture of gullibility and cynicism'. When they were lied to, they chose to believe it. When a lie was debunked, they claimed they’d known all along—and would then 'admire the leaders for their superior tactical cleverness'. Over time, Arendt wrote, the onslaught of propaganda conditioned people to 'believe everything and nothing, think that everything was possible and that nothing was true'."
