Not much of a leap from "votes don't determine who wins elections" to "let's just use The Computer to pretend we have supporters"

Ad copy for West End Games TTRPG "Paranoia", Dragon Magazine, late 90s.

Ad copy reads:

SERVE THE COMPUTER. THE COMPUTER IS YOUR FRIEND

The Computer wants you to he happy.  If you are not happy you may be used as reactor shielding.

The Computer is crazy.  The Computer is happy.  The Computer will help you become happy.  This will drive you crazy.

Being a citizen of Alpha Complex is fun.  The Computer says so, and The Computer is your friend.

Rooting out traitors will make you happy.  The Computer tells you so.  Can you doubt The Computer?

Being a Troubleshooter is fun.  The Computer tells you so.  Of course The Computer is right.

Troubleshooters get shot at, stabbed, incinerate, stapled, mangled, poisoned, blown to bits, and occasionally accidentally executed.  This is so much fun that many Troubleshooters go crazy.  You will be working with many Troubleshooters.  They all carry lasers.

Aren't you glad you have a laser?  Won't this be fun?

It continues a bit on that vein
