Toast message
In most modern science fiction, "entertainment", and "story telling", you'll find all manner of fictional stories where it somehow becomes better to tell a lie than to tell the truth, because the truth would be devastating in some way, only because the story (author) says so. They twist and twist the narrative to support their foregone conclusion that lying is necessary and somehow "good", and that the truth is somehow "bad".
Even lowbrow good White people know that telling the truth is a foundational requirement for any successful group, regardless of size. Philosophically, truth is paramount. Tell the truth, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Prioritize truth above all, or lies and falsehoods win out, which leads to ruin. Act in truth, or die. The only way to succeed, grow, live, and proliferate is through truth.
But, these propagandists are doing everything in their literative power to convey the exact opposite message. It's hilarious, though, when they accidentally reveal the truth through their subversion, like with Rorschach and Watchmen. Rorschach was right. A convenient lie can only maintain peace for so long, and will make things worse when the lie is revealed. While truth doesn't necessarily mean everything will be peaceful at all times (because violence, nor peace, is inherently good or bad), the truth will always result in the best course, even if it upsets current falsehoods and lies in the short term.
