COUNTINDOCTRAM is a program launched breifly by the Center for the Institute's Advancement, but then sold for a small sum to us here at killTV.<br /><br />Following is an important activity which following will help you undoctrinate yourself so that you can finally start having Free Thought, or "Frought", or perhaps even "Theeghtou". No. Definetely not that last one.<br /><br />Anyway,<br /><br />if you use any of the following terms in your daily speach to describe yourself or others, stop:<br />Liberal, conservative, rightwing, leftwing, fanatic, terrorist, liberty, freedom, democracy, republic, communist.<br /><br />Broad generalizations help those in power and stereotype debate. Ideological absolutes trivialize discussion, and vaguely defined and supposedly demonstrated forms of government allow people to act like they know what the hell they are talking about when they really don't.<br /><br />Ex:"Well, it's not like communism works any better than democracy. Look at the Soviet Union!"<br /><br />Problems with this: Soviet Union was a fascist state, not really true communism! For this reason it is better to state what you actually mean by such terms rather than just assume everyone agrees on the definition. The other problem with this statement is that a communism isn't inherintly anti-democratic. Of course, fascism is, hence the confusion among the indoctrinated masses.<br /><br />Thankyou for reading this ranty and unuseful entry. But you better come back for the next session or we'll send the death squads after ya! DEATH SQUADS I tells YA!<br /><br />(Any typoes you observed in the above document were probably just the result of your deep irreversable indoctrination) urn:lj:livejournal.com:atom1:killtv:551 2004-02-17T09:03:56Z 2004-02-17T09:03:56Z Go now, it is not sufficeint merely to turn it off or unplug itm you must kill it.<br /><br />Step one: Go get a hammer.<br /><br />Step two: Put on some good smashin' music.<br /><br />Step three: Kill your TV. I suggest throwing the hammer from a distance.<br /><br />Step four: Do a little victory dance.<br /><br />Step five: Clean up. Stepping on broken glass really sucks.<br /><br />Step six: Congratulations, you have- oh wait<br /><br />Congratulations (I realised this isnt actually a step), you have severed yourself from the cultural mainstream.....you, freak. Do whatever the hell you like, oh um...<br /><br />Step six: Do whatever the hell you like.<br /><br />Ok ok, this wasnt very interesting, I promise it will get better. It will also help you concentrate and improve your efficiency at work. It will help you shed unsightly pounds. It is the one and sole truth you should give all your money to.<br /><br />Yeah so,<br /><br />NEXT EPISODE: "Those crazy shrooms"
