Exactly. Once you decide that lying and propagandizing is necessary, you're on the road to oblivion, because the other guys are not only better at it, but they will out you as being no better than they are
The risk of straying from the truth is that the opposition can seize on the falsehood, hyperbole, whatever, to attack you and convince others that you can't be trusted.

At the abbaye d'ardenne Kurt Meyer and his SS thugs murdered young Canadian soldiers. But the local people turned it into a shrine.They never forgot their sacrifice.
I was honoured to lay a wreathe to those young men.
We will always remember those who stood up to fascist hate.

Okay, so: once you’ve nicked £90m in assorted crown jewels from a national museum, I think it’s safe to say you no longer fall into the “petty crime” category even if you haven’t previously been noteworthy in your field.

Sweden built the Gripen to survive Soviet bombers by flying from small & dirty highway strips. Designed for a war that never happened.
Ukraine wants 100 of them. Turns out Sweden was just 40 years early.

The Swedish jets Ukraine could get were built to survive Russia—and that’s the point

The U.S navy is being used to essentially do piracy. You can't just go blow up random fishing boats, murdering their crews. What's worse is that this is the exact kind of behaviour China engages in. Worse in fact. At least the Chinese navy didn't blow up and murder Filipino fishermen yet.
sadly from my persepective it barely even makes the news

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.
Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:
When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.
