The following is psychiatry professor Albert Biderman's "Chart of Coercion" as applied to COVID-19 and the Lockdowns from Dr. Joseph Mercola's book: The Truth About Covid-19:
Isolation Techniques: Quarantines, social distancing, isolation from loved ones and solitary confinement.
Monopolization of Perception: Monopoloizing the 24/7 news cycle, censoring dissenting views, and creating barren environments by closing bars, gyms and restaurants.
Degradation Techniques: Berating and shaming (or even physically attacking) those who refuse to wear masks or social distance or generally choose freedom over fear.
Induced Debility: Being forced to stay at home and not be able to exercise or socialize.
Threats: Threatening with the removal of your children, prolonged quarantine, closing of your business, fines for noncompliance with mask and social distancing rules, forced vaccination and so on.
Demonstrating Omnipotence/Omniscience: Shutting down the whole world, claiming scientific and medical authority.
Enforcing Trivial Demands: Examples include family members being forced to stand six feet apart at the bank even though they arrived together in the same car, having to wear a mask when you walk into a restaurant even though you can remove it as soon as you sit down, or having to wear a mask when walking alone on the beach.
Occasional Indulgence: Reopening some stores and restaurants but only at a certain capacity, for example. Part of the coercion plan is that indulgences are given, then taken away.
The above reminds me of what abused women and children go through with their abusers and what survivors of toxic workplaces go through when their superior(s) are narcissists, sociopaths or psychopaths. However, in this time of COVID and quarantine, I'm seeing many "normal" people coercing their family and friends to get vaccinated or calling them "selfish" or "conspiracy theorists" or trying to control others through degradation and humiliation if one doesn't adhere to the mask and social distancing mandates to a T. Where did our humanity go?
