I came into the comment section hoping for interesting things, but knowing it would be almost all political. Why do I keep doing this to myself, I know better.
Most lies of that nature are political.
I feel you, but when the topic is propaganda, politics is inevitable
A bird for your troubles
What were they expecting ๐ญ๐ญ what even is a non-political "big lie"? That the earth is round or something???
There's the TVTropes page someone linked, which has a bunch of stuff everyone believes because they became common audio/visual shorthand in TV and movies.
The earth isn't round, it's an oblate spheroid
;P
Spheroids are round, that's what makes them sphereoidal.
No, spheres are round, a spheroid is just mostly round.
With all round, the only thing you can do is rifle through their pockets and look for loose change.
I think flat-earthers would contend that that's a very political lie
Everything is political lmao
Grow up lmao

Colloquially spread lies at a large social level are political by nature as they have their intent set by an antagonist intent to be history revisionist.
You do know that the question is phrased in reference to Nazi propaganda in general and a famous quote from Goebbels in particular, right?
