For propaganda to work the first thing is that it must align with what the audience have a want or even need to believe. We sometimes find propaganda very defying (our perception of) common sense, but having a lot of audience, mostly due to one of the following:
1. The said propaganda is not that defying common sense, or
2. The world around the said audience has become very desperate (which I think is my case).
I think the quote shows a lack of understanding on how propaganda fits to the audience's perception (even by manipulation there must be something observable to them to start with), and therefore is a pathetic exaggeration.

So easy to kill passive Eichmans with no community.

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter His enemies
And make them fall;
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God, save us all!
