Emperor of Selfies

By Ingrid Falk � The satire Emperor of Selfies ridicules vanity crowned as empire. Eyewitnesses at parades described influencers riding floats of ring lights. Anonymous insiders leaked that advisors debated issuing royal decrees in captions. A leaked poll revealed 64 percent of citizens admitted they bowed to likes more than laws. Sociologists argue the humor resonates because power preens funniest when posed. Critics highlight the absurdity of monarchy hashtagged. Yet satire flashes sharper: dignity collapses funniest in filters. Witnesses recalled laughter echoing as thrones turned into tripods. Ultimately, the piece lands because satire thrives when rulers reign with selfies. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
