“J” WHY THINK?
\nOnline Propaganda #1.23<\/p>\n
A message from the Idea Management Corporation
\nAn enterprise of the Ministry of the Public Mind.<\/p>\n
STOP THINKING!
\n WHY BE BOTHERED?<\/p>\n
THINKING IS DOWNRIGHT DIFFICULT! Let the “J party” do the hard
\nwork for you. There is no reason why you should worry yourself
\nwith thought when there are trained professionals waiting to do it
\nfor you. You are not qualified to think, so stop struggling with
\ndifficult questions. We have _all_ the answers for you, either on
\nfile in out “J Database of Political and Philosophical Ideology
\n(TM),” or in our heads waiting to become a “J Custom Thought (TM)”
\njust for you!
\n As a free demonstration of how the “J party” can relieve you
\nof the burden of thought we will answer a few “difficult”
\nquestions. These questions have confused even the greatest
\nindependent minds of all time, causing frustration, anger,
\ninsanity, and even art! However, with the “Principles of Jism” all
\nquestions are simple! Just look at these:<\/p>\n
Q: “Why do I exist?”
\n A: To serve the “J party” and the common good, and to follow
\n the “Principles of Jism.”<\/p>\n
Q: “How can I make a difference in this world?”
\n A: By following the “Principles of Jism,” working hard, being
\n happy, and leaving the thinking to trained “J party”
\n professionals.<\/p>\n
Q: “What do I want to do with my life?”
\n A: You want to serve the “J party” loyally and be happy at all
\n times.<\/p>\n
Q: “How can I be a better person?”
\n A: By devoting your life unquestionably serving the “J party.”<\/p>\n
Q: “Is there a God and an afterlife?”
\n A: Yes, God is a loyal “J party” member working in our
\n Ministry of Theological Resources, and the afterlife a
\n “J party” sanctioned state of being.<\/p>\n
Q: How can I lead the good life?”
\n A: With “J” you will be able to acquire all the material
\n possessions, popularity and influence that we want. You
\n will also discover that members of the opposite sex will
\n look at you in a whole new light when you are a “Jist”<\/p>\n
See how easy it is when you don’t have to think for yourself?
\nOur easy to understand and follow answers are the key to a life of
\nhappiness without struggle. Eliminate indecision over courses of
\naction which result from your inability to answer difficult life
\nquestions. Eliminate long, potentially productive hours wasted
\nthinking. Stop being lost in your thoughts, let the “Principles of
\nJism” show you the way out. The “J party” is _the_ Anarcho-Fascist
\ndada state for the _Information Anxiety Age_ we live in. With the
\n“Principles of Jism” you can thwart the powers-that-be in their
\nconspiracy to control you through the tyranny of independent
\nthought.<\/p>\n
Thinking is a futile and often dangerous endeavor. Thinking
\nbrings question. Question often results in depression,
\ndissatisfaction, and violence. Thinking also gives rise to foolish
\nand counterproductive questions such as “Do I really exist?, “Was
\nthere a yesterday?”, “Is there a God?”, and “What color boxer-
\nshorts should I wear today?”. These are all irrelevant to the
\ncommon good. Few will benefit from the color of your underwear or
\nyour religious\/philosophical beliefs. In short, thinking subverts
\nthe common good.<\/p>\n
THE COMMON GOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ARE!<\/p>\n
What benefits most people will logically benefit you. If one
\nthinks only of one’s self, the end result will be disaster for all
\nconcerned. The cause of this damaging individualism is short-
\nsighted, greedy, “free-thinking”! The more you think only of
\nyourself, the more you are hurting yourself.<\/p>\n
INDIVIDUALISM IS BAD, IT SUBVERTS THE COMMON GOOD!
\n BE A PART OF THE WHOLE!
\n ROCK THE BOAT AND YOU WILL SINK WITH IT!<\/p>\n
The more freedom you have the more dangerous you become to the
\nlargest number of people, yourself included. Ultimate equality and
\ntrue liberty can be achieved only through recognition of the
\ninsignificance of the individual and the common good!<\/p>\n
