A False Crown says the moon provides more light than the sun, the sea is more stable than the land, science is false when it disagrees with a false crown's opinion. False crown will say the most extreme comments because it means it can talk about less extreme things and people will feel better. False crown appeals to our secret need to enjoy violence to others legally and without consequence. False Crown will remove the sting from all opponents.Keep them powerless.
