“Logic can be met with logic, while illogic cannot—it confuses those who think straight. The Big Lie and monotonously repeated nonsense have more emotional appeal in a cold war than logic and reason. While the enemy is still searching for a reasonable counter-argument to the first lie, the totalitarians can assault him with another.”
― Joost A.M. Meerloo, “The Rape of the Mind: The Psychology of Thought Control, Menticide, and Brainwashing”
