With these assumptions in mind, I want to share now the mechanisms by which MHSO enforces or holds other oppressions in place. The first mechanism is in fact a meta-mechanism since it suppresses the natural process, referred to above, by which people resolve emotionally charged experiences. The core of MHSO, and its agency of institutional psychiatry, is suppression of emotional expression. The heart of current practice is psychopharmacology. The second mechanism by which MHSO acts to hold oppression in place involves a trick of magic.
Political versions involve so-called red herrings or straw men.
Before you get a glimpse of social injustice, let me show you mental illness. The agency of biopsychiatry is performing the greatest magic show on earth. The incredible illusion of biologically caused mental illness serves as a powerful enforcer of oppression, consistently distracting our attention from the reality of social injustice and the devastating results on individuals and on society. I'll give you a hint now on one key to see through this illusion. Keep your eye on where the money goes.
