I literally can't find this video on Youtube, even though I'm searching for it directly. I can't even find Dave's main channel! I have attached it to this post. Logged in users will see it below. 17 MB.
How did I get the video? I have a script that pulls down the latest videos from certain channels, it's like being subscribed. Only I don't get a bunch of new content flashed in my face (to ultimately waste my time).
I am embarrassed for anyone who believes this Indian "moon landing" was real. Give me a break!
As I watched this nonsense, a quote forced itself into my head. Indeed, for those who consent to this blatant lie, the curse of Dalrymple will come upon them:
"within an established totalitarian regime the purpose of propaganda is not to persuade, much less to inform, but rather to humiliate. From this point of view, propaganda should not approximate to the truth as closely as possible: on the contrary, it should do as much violence to it as possible. For by endlessly asserting what is patently untrue, by making such untruth ubiquitous and unavoidable, and finally by insisting that everyone publicly acquiesce in it, the regime displays its power and reduces individuals to nullities."
"Apart from the massacres, deaths and famines for which communism was responsible, the worst thing about the system was the official lying: that is to say the lying in which everyone was forced to take part, by repetition, by assent or failure to contradict. I came to the conclusion that the purpose of propaganda in communist countries was not to persuade, much less to inform, but to humiliate and emasculate. In this sense, the less true it was, the less it corresponded in any way to reality, the better; the more it contradicted the experience of the persons to whom it was directed, the more docile, self-despising for their failure to protest, and impotent they became."
