You're referencing the famous quote from Kurt Vonnegut's novel "Cat's Cradle", where he says: 

"The first panacea for a mental patient is to let him become drastically aware of his own condition."

This conversation started as "It's not that they piss on us and tell us it's raining."

The second part seems to be an extension of this idea. The quote you're referencing (and also the start), suggests people are manipulated into believing things or accepting their situation without questioning, almost like being conditioned by external forces.

In essence, both parts say the same thing; people can become so accustomed and even complicit in their own oppression. nostr.fmt.wiz.biz
