Then they will just up the propaganda game.
The more horrific shit they make up, the easier it is to sway to enlightened centrists

it’s gotta be played carefully. if it comes out as obviously false too quickly, people learn to ignore the source. if they learn years later, they stay pliable to atrocity propaganda. the IDF got too brazen with it so once people cottoned on to it just days after, while the news was visceral and fresh, the whole news cycle flipped on them while they were in the early stages of a genocide.
