The only way that the Regime can be beaten or disarmed is through doubt

Doubt must be spread in every part of our society& #39;s infection, like the body fighting cancer cells

doubt erodes the foundations upon which the Regime controls its subjects& #39; minds
The Regime is built on a foundation of false assumptions, a web of lies, a veil of trickery

these all exist in people& #39;s minds like physical edifices, damming the natural flow of thought and channeling it into pre approved areas

break the dam
all well and good you say, but how?

well i think Socrates had it right, which is why they killed him

lies fall in the face of self-evidence, show what is self-evident
take something that your "target" person accepts as true

then use that truth to show how a false assumption implanted by the regime is wrong

socrates would start with truth, and then ask questions which revealed the assumption or false accusation to be absurd
Absurdity and humor are probably the highest forms of this technique

if you can make your doubt-spreading funny it becomes all the more effective

make your enemies laugh at themselves

or make them ashamed
many people only believe things because they think it makes them look good

if you can show that those beliefs actually make them look stupid they are likely to experience serious cognitive dissonance and possibly doubt
but again, the difficulty is in making up these questions, one-liners, and dialectics in a way that the target can understand and in a way that fully destroys a false assumption

cultural assumptions are deeply embedded in the collective unconscious
I also think its time to create myths

i see memes as a modern form of this, but it would also be nice to have stories that are easy to circulate

it takes equally deep symbols and ideas to dislodge the programming
