The Big Lie

The Big Lie is a propaganda technique where a false idea is presented so convincingly that people accept it as truth, especially when repeated many times. The concept was popularized by Adolf Hitler, who described it as a lie so enormous that people would believe it because they can't imagine someone would fabricate something so audacious. Often used in political contexts, it relies on the assumption that others might lie but wouldn't dare to tell such an obvious falsehood themselves. The goal is to manipulate perceptions, often to serve a particular agenda or discredit the truth.
