This is a thread of a collection of Joseph Goebbels' quotes. Do they have any impact in today's world? Decide for yourself.
"Think of the press as a great keyboard
on which the government can play". (1/n)

"Success is the important thing. Propaganda is not a matter for average minds, but rather a matter for practitioners. It is not supposed to be lovely or theoretically correct. I do not care if I give wonderful, aesthetically elegant speeches, or speak so that women cry." (2/n)

"The point of a political speech is to persuade people of what we think right. I speak differently in the provinces than I do in Berlin, and when I speak in Bayreuth, I say different things than I say in the Pharus Hall. That is a matter of practice, not of theory." (3/n)

"We do not want to be a movement of a few straw brains, but rather a movement that can conquer the broad masses. Propaganda should be popular, not intellectually pleasing. It is not the task of propaganda to discover intellectual truths." (4/n)

"That propaganda is good which leads to success, and that is bad which fails to achieve the desired result. It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success." (5/n)

"It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise." (6/n)

"The woman is the teacher of the youth, and therefore the builder of the foundation of the future. If the family is the nation’s source of strength, the woman is its core and centre."
(7/n)

"The best place for the woman to serve her people is in her marriage, in the family, in motherhood." (8/n)

"A fourteen-year-old lad crouching with his bazooka behind a ruined wall on a burned out street is worth more to the nation than ten intellectuals who attempt to prove that our chances now are nil." (9/n)

"The mission of women is to be beautiful and to bring children into the world." (10/n)

"Regarding the Jewish question, Himmler gives a very unadorned and frank picture. He is of the conviction that the Jewish question can be solved by the end of this year. He advocates the most radical and most severe solution, namely to exterminate Jewry, bag and baggage." (11/n)

"Propaganda works best when those who are being manipulated are confident they are acting on their own free will." (12/n)

Remember: A Big Lie is a propaganda technique and logical trick. It was coined by Adolf Hitler in his book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously".

So, what else did #Tadipaar say today?
