[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question:  the people of the Silo have been told that the air outside is toxic and will kill you.  This is the truth.  So why do we keep hearing them accusing leadership of “lying” to them?  All of those people in Silo 17 died when exposed to the air.  The only reason Juliette was able to make it over the hill is because her suit was sealed with the “good” heat tape.  She still had to seek shelter in Silo 18 or she would have died from the toxic air once her oxygen ran out.

I really don’t understand this plot point.  What’s the “lie” here?[/quote]

They lie it about knowing why they are there and purposefully hiding their history. Anyone who has any knowledge is sent to clean or put to death another way.  They are meant to believe that gods created the silo not men .

They lie to the cleaners - with the screens in the mask to make themselves think it is good outside.  They are also lying about trying to build suits to keep the cleaners alive as long as possible.  The suits are designed to fail so no one knows there are other silos (another lie - maybe the biggest one - that thier silo alone is the world).

They are all being spied on, so they are being misled about privacy.

And the leaders of the silo decide who will not have children by not removing their birth control.  They do not want people who ask questions to have kids.  So couples are lied to about thier ability to have children.

There are more lies, but I do not think the show is close to showing that (if they will at all).[/quote]
