The idea is called Hypernormalisation. Everyone knows what they're being told is a lie, most don't care, some do but a powerless to do anything about it, the rest are actively perpetuating the lie.

RADAR was one of those inventions that they thought was completely revolutionary, and it was, but was far less "unique" than the creators originally believed.
The large air and naval search arrays all over southern England had been spotted by the Germans even before the war and they accurately worked out what they were for and reverse engineered them purely from reconnaissance photographs.
The special thing about the RAF at the time was that they'd managed to make units small enough to fit on board planed which was the big advantage they hid as being carrots.
Funny story, so convinced were the British that the concept of RADAR couldn't have been copied by Germany that when they surveyed the Graf Spee while in dock at Montevideo, with the RADAR antennas, identical to those on British and American ships clearly visible they still didn't believe the Germans could develop the technology.

Would play in coop with one character fixed in a spot to stop them despawning and see how many I could gather from around the map and bring back. You could only carry them in your arms preventing you from driving and climbing the taller buildings, forcing you into unconventional routes through the city, often while being shot. Think I got about 20 as my record before having to sign off.
DOW dropped more points in 48 hours than there are in total in the UK FTSE100. 🤣
What? The BBC is, on the whole, pretty balanced. You can tell because people on both sides of any issue complain about it being biased in favour of the other.
The BBC was heavily criticised by the UK median regulator for being pro-hamas and taking literal Hamas sources and presenting them as Palestinian civilians.
1 and that's only because Blockbuster wasn't a thing near me and we instead went to the local video shop.
Deftones are way hornier than that, most of their songs are about fucking
The greatest movie review of all time is Roger Ebert's review of Pearl Harbor:
