Would they feel safe voicing any other opinion? If not there may not be anything further to say.

I have read that propaganda can reach the point where it's about power, not truth. "We can lie to you, and you can know that it's a lie, and you still have to pretend to believe it." That's what it's like when it's about power, not truth.

I wonder if Russia is at that point, or rather, if many Russian citizens are at that point.
