They lied about the reasons to go in to Iraq, why wouldn't they also lie about Syria to get the war they want? -- Also this exact "sarin gas" foot in the door was tried in both 2013 and 2016

I think you are exactly right; I don't really have any qualms about expressing my views, and lately it seems more common that people will be hesitant to discuss this kind of stuff at first, at least until I break the ice a bit, but then quite often it's like opening the floodgates; whereas a few years ago people didn't see to feel like the subject was taboo as much, but were a lot more likely to dismiss or ridicule what I was talking about. Although nowadays it seems that people who have never heard about any of it are a lot more likely to listen with an open mind; the public facade of TPTB definitely seems to be cracking.

I hadn't quite thought about it that way, but now that you say it I've seen the same kind of trends. It is interesting to see how the public's approach to this type of stuff is evolving, and how the propaganda evolves in response.
