Hear Me Roar (Game of Thrones SI)

Reader mode
So you entered what is by most standards a pretty grim universe, where almost everything will go horribly wrong. As Joffrey, one of the most hated and downright useless characters in the series.

This intrigues me. May your muse stay with you in your writing.

At least Petyr probably won't slap you.
 
Oh, this is going to be interesting.

And very, very Fun.

Never been into Game of Thrones much (books or show), but Xeno doing an SI of it? This is going to be far too much Fun not to watch.

Hey, Sheogorath, got some cheese to spare while we watch?

If you teach the masses how to read, you will face massive rebellion against you. The only reason the 'small folk' don't rebel is that they can't communicate with each-other other than through word of mouth and that people that want to rage against the feudal system have no education and outlet for their ideas. Giving them the ability to speak out against you in an indirect way via writing is a very, very bad idea for a total monarchy, enforced by feudal lords.

Sure. That's what bread and circuses, mass indoctrination, and state security organizations are for. Sell the masses only the books you want them to read, distract them away from the ones you don't want them to read, and disappear anyone who does it anyway. If Xeno!Joffrey maintains the feudal government even after he has a choice about it, then he's doing it wrong.

He could even start a (more or less true) rumor that he's just an innocent tool/victim of the Lannister family's power-plays. When enough of the would-be revolutionaries believe it, they'll overthrow the family and (re)install Xeno!Joffrey as the rightful king.
 
And why, exactly, is it such a meme that the ability to read and print results in "UP THE REVOLUTION!" and not "FOR THE KING!", anyway?
