Have any members here had this happen to them?
Suppression of dissent occurs when an individual or group which is more
powerful than another tries to directly or indirectly censor, persecute, or
otherwise oppress the other party, rather than engage with and constructively
respond to or accommodate the other party's arguments or viewpoint. When dissent
is perceived as a threat, action may be taken to prevent continuing dissent or
penalize dissidents. Government or industry may often act in this way.
Involuntary commitment can be used as a form of suppression of dissent. It
is the practice of using legal means or forms as part of a mental health law
to commit a person to a mental hospital, insane asylum, or psychiatric ward
against their will or over their protests in order to prevent them from
speaking out (about an injustice or crime, for example).
“I don't understand why Cupid was chosen to represent Valentine's Day.
When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a
short, furtive toddler coming at me with a weapon!”
