今天跟你分享的句子是：
During the war, the lie most effective with the whole of the German people was the slogan of "the battle of destiny for the German people," which made self-deception easier on three counts:
it suggested,
first, that the war was no war;
second, that it was started by destiny and not by Germany;
and, third,
that it was a matter of life and death for the Germans, who must annihilate their enemies or be annihilated.

上周有位读者希望我聊聊这本书，我想了一下，在当下的舆论环境下，没法聊。有兴趣的读者可以自己阅读中译本（提示：英文译本的文字难度较高）。
My reflections
Throughout history, every warmonger had used the same three excuses to start a war:
it's no war (we are helping them; it's only a special military operation; they are Nazis.)
they started it;
if we don't kill them, they'll kill us.
A war won't be over unless the machine of disinformation stops manufacturing and feeding lies to its people.
A war won’t be over unless innocent people refuse to fight.
