Looks like our friends the Panopticon are leaving flyers now. They've never done this before. Perhaps this is part of their plan to reintroduce the counter-meme. But it, well, it seems too Orwellian. Maybe they are not as harmless as I thought.

Skenet bedrar.
As I left my apartment this evening, I found this taped to the door, blocking the peephole.

"Maybe?" Psssh.
ReplyDeleteThere is no need for you to be angry. No need for anger or sadness or pain. This is a world without suffering, a world without fear.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds, Amy.
I found a different one in my area when I was out . . . hunting. It read:
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS THE BEST OF
ALL POSSIBLE WORLDS.
(picture of that eye thing. Are we sure this isn't something to do with the Eye?)
EVERYONE IS HAPPY.
EVERYTHING IS FINE.
WE ARE THE PANOPTICON
BELIEVE IN US
I tore it up and threw it in the trash. Any others in my area were probably destroyed by the recent rain. I trust these guys less then I trust your average Proxy.
You don't have to keep fighting. You can stop. You can lay down your weapons. Everyone is safe. Secure.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds, Proxiehunter.
You tell those Runners in my town who were incinerated by a Proxy back in January how safe and secure they were. It's due to my fighting not your posters that that Proxy in particular will not be burning down any more Runner's hideouts with the Runners still inside.
DeleteYeeeeah... Reading that just now has Tooootally made me feel safer.
ReplyDeleteYup.
You are safer. We are all safer. We don't need to be watchful or paranoid or look over our shoulders all the time. We are perfectly safe.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds, The Gargoyle.
They need better PR, right now all their campaigns are just making me uneasy. Maybe if they didn't put it in all capital letters, it wouldn't feel like they were forcing happiness on me. Then again, whenever someone tells me that "NOTHING IS WRONG" when I already thought everything was already o.k., well I just always beleive them. Always.

Nothing is wrong. There are no problems here. There is no disease, no hunger, no hurt. Nothing is wrong. Everything is right.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds, Freedomcaged.
I thought the idea behind the best of all possible worlds was the fact that there were problems. Disease, hunger, hurt, conflict, war, and yes, maybe the occasonial paranormal entity or two. These are things that challenge us, these are how we grow. A world without problems is a world without growth, a world without problems is not the best of all possible worlds.

We grow whether we move or stand still. We grow regardless. But without war, without pain, without fear, we are happy, we are content, we are free.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds.
You know what, you're right, this is the best of all possible worlds. There is no sadness or pain, I didn't shoot him, I didn't betray her, I haven't killed at all. There is no monster, you're right I don't know what I was thinking. Thank you for setting me straight. I will always accredit my completly legitamite happiness to you, Panopticon.

I wouldn't be surprised if they had their very own room 101, with their reconditioning unit, no doubt they'd be unimaginative and call it the ministry of love.
ReplyDelete-Manic
We don't need to recondition. Everything is already good. Everyone is fine. Nobody is afraid. Nobody feels unloved.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds, Manic Muse.
I would accept that logic if it wasn't based on a complete and utter lie.
DeleteWe get it Joo Di. There is no Slenderman in Ba Sing Se.
DeleteI can't help but wonder: Who approved the government agency that tries to kill Slendy by telling us that everything is great?
ReplyDeleteIN ALL CAPS BY THE WAY. 'CUZ THAT MAKES ME FEEL SO FUCKING SAFE.
It's not a government agency: it's a think tank. This plan of theirs was actually rejected by the agency.
DeleteAs I said before, I think they've gone quite insane.
There is no need to kill anything. The Slender Man does not exist. He is all in your mind. Nothing is wrong.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds.
...Could you at least use a better catchphrase?
DeleteI dunno the other guys, but for some reason "This is the best of all possible worlds" REALLY gets on my nerves.
Yeah, I think that's why they chose it - it gets on my nerves, too. For one thing, I can't read Candide again without thinking of them.
DeleteYou should be careful. It is likely not a coincidence that was taped to your door. Their propaganda may seem shallow and ineffective, but there are many who may be swayed by the illusionary promise of comfort and safety.
ReplyDeleteS
This is no illusion. You are safe. There is no danger. There is no evil. Everything is fine.
DeleteThis is the best of all possible worlds.
Fuck, I think I've seen these around. They look fucking creepy.
