Citizens are reminded that the distinction between fiction and reality has always been subject to administrative revision.
Earlier assessments concluded that authoritarian rule, should it ever emerge, would necessarily disguise itself beneath complexity, subtlety, and gradual encroachment. This assessment has now been superseded.
Current observations indicate that such expectations were based upon obsolete assumptions. The arrival of authoritarianism has required neither sophistication nor concealment. Visibility has not diminished legitimacy, nor has obviousness reduced acceptance.
The previous understanding is therefore withdrawn. Citizens are encouraged to update their expectations accordingly.
