Alas, not only Joseph Goebbels, but also our modern days piece of vermin, Donald Trump, has given his evidence that the same method of lying as the Nazi one is working just fine. Lying is an art, and some, like e.g. Goebbels, master it. As to Trump, he went too far, and have been found out too many times. That's why I find that he as a liar doesn't score as high as Goebbels.
A special situation: The teacher caught the student in the lie of having done his homework. But WHY lie about something that obviously was a blatant lie? It's embarrassing to be found out so why risk that? Well, according to many/most psychologists lies are a natural kind of protection: This particular liar chose to chance it to keep on good terms with the teacher in order to protect himself.
Lying seems to be part of the human make-up, and young children of three years or so seem to have grasped the art of lying, because at that time the start to understand some of the more advanced intricacies of human societies. Something I find quite amazing. Even so, there is no doubt that both Goebbels and tRump has gone much too far in their lying habits.
