They wouldn't need propaganda at that point.
My country has a saying: "Many small rivers make a great flood".
How is it said in that tongue? And can you romanise the pronunciation?
I paraphrased ("Många bäckar små blir till en stor å") to make the meaning come across better, but a direct word for word translation would be "Many brooks small become a great [untranslatable word]". Where untranslatable is a watercourse, bigger than a brook but smaller than a river.
Romanizing, as in making it be able to be said in Swedish, by an English speaker? Then it would be "Mhongah beckhar smoh blihr till ehn stohr oh".
Creek?
Rivulet?
... I think I can only say that drunk with a potato in my mouth.
Theodore Dalrymple put it best. The goal of their propaganda is not to deceive, but to humiliate. The more obvious the lie you are forced to repeat, the more you are deprived of your moral center and sense of probity. The result is a populace of emasculated liars who are impotent and powerless to resist their control.
