most people are rather simple-minded and blissful, preferring simple, sweet lies (like those about the EU, human rights, democracy, and so on).

The fact that people are simple-minded doesn't mean they prefer lies. Nobody likes lies. If you stop brainwashing people with television and tell them the truth, they will simply go to the Kremlin and impale Putin.

Well, for a politician, Putin is quite honest.

Apparently, you are one of those "simple-minded and blissful" slaves.
