> The truth gets through.

It often doesn't at all, drowned amongst lies.

And sometimes it takes a lifetime or two.

It took Boris Yeltsin, who had just become the Supreme Soviet of the Soviet Union, actually visiting a random grocery store in Houston before he realised what the truth was:

In other words, a free system is inevitably ruled by hypocrites, while in dictatorships they are rejected that opportunity. This is another variant of “in democracy, people cannot rule because they’re stupid.”

Statists, failing to admit their guilt, blame everyone but themselves.

And no, the truth does not get through, even after centuries.

What if the truth is that something is a lie?

Promoting truth and opposing lies are the same thing.

Truth does not get through.

"The truth gets through."

Yeah I agree, we shouldn't be too concerned about Iran, Russia, or China, censoring the internet, the truth gets through.
