It's important to stand up to lies and to speak against recognized propaganda for what it is, but how capable are we as a society even to recognize the propaganda and lies when we see them?
This comment looks ironic under the link to one of the most famous propagandist and liar in human history.
Solzhenitsyn's books are full of lies that were debunked thousands of times. Most of the numbers in his books were written for him by the CIA curators. He never had access to any documents that he could cite as a source, so he just copied the numbers from cheat sheets provided for him by CIA.
There're other numerous non-fitments in his books.
He was a weapon of American propaganda against USSR. He collaborated with CIA. It's ironic and pitiful that he's still referred to as some kind of truth-seeker.
