The lie is very simple - it is not "prices goes up". It is state currency was devaluated.
It is very simple - IDK, let's take a bottle of milk as example. Nothing changed with milk or bottle. Cow still have to eat same amount of grass to produce a same amount of milk, farmer still have to spend the same amount of labor to care cow and milk it. Bottle still made from same amount of substances and energy needed to produce glass, etc. Absolutely nothing had changed from the side of the bottle of milk we want to buy. So, that is definitely not a cow or farmer fault, and not a bottle manufacturer guilt. And nothing changed with amount of effort you already spend to earn the money you want to spend for the bottle of milk. So, it's not you, definitely. There is the only thing changed - money itself. And who is controlling money, who could easily change it's value? The elites/governments/banks/TPTB/all that stuff.
It's slightly more complex, because farmer have to buy stuff from another people to grow and milk his cows, and all that things, but if you unwind all that chains, it will be obvious that it is not things or energy amount or workhours that changed.
When the price of some thing changing, nothing happens with the thing itself. It is money that changing.
Don't use that "they rised the prices" thing during conversations. Talk about "fucking government/elites/banks/TPTB stole from our pockets making our money worth less". That would be the correct and true description of all that inflation swindle.
Small hats would be my guess.
