When the Crown Declares “Fake News” an Enemy of the People
Somebody in a crown announces that “fake news” is the enemy of the people, like they just solved the mystery by pointing at the press. Then—surprise—every “trust us” speech turns into paperwork, compliance checks, and a big royal stamp hovering over the pamphleteers, not the liars.
Because the real religion here isn’t truth; it’s permission. If your plan for “fake news” is pressing printers into silence, you don’t hate lies—you hate receipts. And the crown always acts like that’s patriotic, right up until the printing ink becomes a criminal offense.
