Empires grow and expand on lies. The bigger the empires, the bigger the mountains of lies have to be in order to sustain them. Ultimately, when enough time passes, even the lies start to lose their potency. They keep coming at rapid fire, but the number of believers start to dwindle. Empires require concentrated and centralized “narratives,” along with censorship. Therefore, decentralized information, the freedom to choose where you get your information, and free speech are the only way forward.
