"J" WHY THINK?
Online Propaganda #1.23

A message from the Idea Management Corporation
An enterprise of the Ministry of the Public Mind.

         STOP THINKING!
        WHY BE BOTHERED?

    THINKING IS DOWNRIGHT DIFFICULT! Let the "J party" do the hard
work for you.  There is no reason why you should worry yourself
with thought when there are trained professionals waiting to do it
for you.  You are not qualified to think, so stop struggling with
difficult questions. We have _all_ the answers for you, either on
file in out "J Database of Political and Philosophical Ideology
(TM)," or in our heads waiting to become a "J Custom Thought (TM)"
just for you!
    As a free demonstration of how the "J party" can relieve you
of the burden of thought we will answer a few "difficult"
questions.  These questions have confused even the greatest
independent minds of all time, causing frustration, anger,
insanity, and even art!  However, with the "Principles of Jism" all
questions are simple!  Just look at these:

    Q: "Why do I exist?"
    A: To serve the "J party" and the common good, and to follow
       the "Principles of Jism."

    Q: "How can I make a difference in this world?"
    A: By following the "Principles of Jism," working hard, being
       happy, and leaving the thinking to trained "J party"
       professionals.

    Q: "What do I want to do with my life?"
    A: You want to serve the "J party" loyally and be happy at all
       times.

    Q: "How can I be a better person?"
    A: By devoting your life unquestionably serving the "J party."

    Q: "Is there a God and an afterlife?"
    A: Yes, God is a loyal "J party" member working in our
       Ministry of Theological Resources, and the afterlife a
       "J party" sanctioned state of being.

    Q: How can I lead the good life?"
    A: With "J" you will be able to acquire all the material
       possessions, popularity and influence that we want.  You
       will also discover that members of the opposite sex will
       look at you in a whole new light when you are a "Jist"



    See how easy it is when you don't have to think for yourself?
Our easy to understand and follow answers are the key to a life of
happiness without struggle.  Eliminate indecision over courses of
action which result from your inability to answer difficult life
questions.  Eliminate long, potentially productive hours wasted
thinking.  Stop being lost in your thoughts, let the "Principles of
Jism" show you the way out.  The "J party" is _the_ Anarcho-Fascist
dada state for the _Information Anxiety Age_ we live in.  With the
"Principles of Jism" you can thwart the powers-that-be in their
conspiracy to control you through the tyranny of independent
thought.

    Thinking is a futile and often dangerous endeavor.  Thinking
brings question.  Question often results in depression,
dissatisfaction, and violence.  Thinking also gives rise to foolish
and counterproductive questions such as "Do I really exist?, "Was
there a yesterday?", "Is there a God?", and "What color boxer-
shorts should I wear today?".  These are all irrelevant to the
common good.  Few will benefit from the color of your underwear or
your religious/philosophical beliefs.  In short, thinking subverts
the common good.

           THE COMMON GOOD IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU ARE!

    What benefits most people will logically benefit you.  If one
thinks only of one's self, the end result will be disaster for all
concerned.  The cause of this damaging individualism is short-
sighted, greedy, "free-thinking"!  The more you think only of
yourself, the more you are hurting yourself.

       INDIVIDUALISM IS BAD, IT SUBVERTS THE COMMON GOOD!
                   BE A PART OF THE WHOLE!
           ROCK THE BOAT AND YOU WILL SINK WITH IT!

    The more freedom you have the more dangerous you become to the
largest number of people, yourself included.  Ultimate equality and
true liberty can be achieved only through recognition of the
insignificance of the individual and the common good!
