I created this sketch animation to promote Freedomain Radio. The narration by Stef is from the end of the call-in show titled "FDR 3148: Being Clubbed By An Inert Brain". I apologize in advance for the grainy video quality. If this video is well-received I hope to do more projects of this sort in higher definition. If you can help out by sharing the video online, I would very much appreciate that.

I just got a letter from the company that insure my car. They have given me a quote for another year of insurance. Their quote included the following sentence: Oh really?! There's a thing called "insurance premium tax" which I have apparently already been paying for via artificially increased insurance rates... and also... it has just been arbitrarily increased! * shakes head in disbelief * Amazing. So this is how it works: people in government decide they want more money to spend on things that they want. Those people in government then increase the amount of protection money they charge me (and the rest of us) so rather than me spend my money on what I want... they get to spend my money on what they want. This is how people want their society to be run? I will obviously being paying up because... it's not a request... it's a demand, backed by threat of extreme violence. Also: they target all companies that provide car insurance so there likely isn't even an option which doesn't involve... [looks back down at the quote]... "insurance premium tax". I've tried to explain to the sheeple that support this stuff that they are supporting and advocating theft on a grand scale. The sheeple invariably tell me (in an apparent attempt to rebut my claim) that "we need to be stolen from by the government because otherwise there would be chaos... and bad people would steal from us!" They actually, usually say "we need to be taxed", but I've got used to silently converting "taxed" to "stolen from" in my head because I'm not aware of any functional difference between the two words and propaganda makes my head hurt. They actually, also usually say "because there would be anarchy", but I've got used to silently converting "anarchy" to "chaos" in my head because it makes their insane statements just slightly less insane. It provides me a slightly less painful cranial experience. I guess this is just a rant. Hope you don't mind. I have literally no one in my life that understands and accepts this stuff.

Im sick and discusted with all this horrible parental preachy advice comming from these Dr Shmucks with severe childism problems who treat children like a machine to be modified to suit the need of the user (parent). Oh your child has anger problems, adhd, anxiety disorder oh well instead of the underlying cause, (child abuse) lets give them drugs or insert some reason that doesn't point to pathetic sociopathic abusing parents. Any parent who thinks they can change there child behaviour is either dillusional or doesn't understand human psychology at a fundamental level, which is usually the case. Trying to change persons behaviour is asking for conflict in the relationship and inflicting stress and anxiety over the persons. The more the disparaty of power the more the stress and anxiety inflicted ie abuse. People only have the power to change there own behaviour and that is fact, no matter how much foolish parents wish and dream they mold some perfect robot child. So how can I help my child with there behaviour? Well it's simple. All creatures on this planet have to do one thing and they can't controll it. It is instictive and healthy and natural. All creatures must adapt to there environment. Fact. It is a PARENT'S JOB to create an environment for the child. A child will adapt to the environment you create negative or positive whatever. So what type of environment should I create and how? Hey, your the fucking parent! Read a book. The next time you or someone you see tries to change a childs behaviour eg, "do X or else...". not the environment eg, mom dad i want to do x because (environmenral factor installed by parents). It may seem harder at first but if you prepare and study, which you better because if you dont then your telling everyone that your child means less to you than a highschool test in which case you are undeserving of a child and should put him or her up for adoption, then you will have 0 troubles with childrens behavior, The diffrece in long term ease is akin to walking up a river and floating down it, Please educate them, for the childs sake.
