9 Ways to Avoid the Slammer in a Totalitarian Regime

Posted by on

[A Guest Post by Todd Persuad]

We often find ourselves wrapped up in fascism, so cleverly hidden or disguised, it can already be surveiling us. Privacy is dead. No matter what Incognito mode in Google tells you. NSA could be spying on us through Skype!

Anyone could conceivably go to jail for crimes they don’t even realize they’re committing. And we all commit crimes everyday even if we don’t know it; I’m talking to you Bill. How, then, can you avoid the slammer?

1) Get a job – Live a regimented schedule. THE MAN runs that system. Her name might be Cheryl but she’s still, THE MAN.

2) Get married – Make sure the person is extra clingy to keep you EXTRA busy.

3) Have lots of children – Nothing ties you down better than being saddled with more responsibilities that you can handle.

4) Buy a house – And pay that off for the rest of your life. Intertwined with job and marriage, this makes a perfect trifecta of support. Plus, they keep you locked into one location, which makes you easier to spy on, duh!

5) Learn to not live in obscene excess – Uncle Sam will love you for it. We can see history repeating itself with inflation and hyperinflation. Yes, I’m talking to you, Argentina!

6) Sever ties with everyone – Anyone could implicate you, so why bother? Stick with those in government. Anyone in a soldier suit is your friend, police and armed service personnel included. Besides, they have big guns! You wouldn’t want them angry.

7) Don’t talk about the government – The government is behaving just like a government. Nothing more, nothing less. Don’t criticize anybody. It could lead to unwanted attention from authorities.

8) No drugs that aren’t prescribed by a doctor – Read my lips: state-sanctioned drugs only. They’re adding some to your water to keep you docile anyway. Why mess with greatness?

9) Study all types of crime so you know what not to commit – Read “How to Make Money in Your Spare Time”, “The Debt Resistors’ Operations Manual”, and “Narconomics: How to Run a Drug Cartel”.

These are all subject to serious testing and experimentation. When in doubt, turn the phone off and hide in your room. Just make sure you remove the SIM card. That’s how they track you!
