Frida Ghitis : The next phase of the government’s war on anti-government speech and so-called thought crimes could well be mental health round-ups and involuntary detentions.
She says the government could use mental health care as a pretext for targeting and locking up dissidents, activists and anyone unfortunate enough to be placed on a government watch list.
Ghitis says mass surveillance technologies that were supposedly so necessary to fight spread of COVID-19 are now being used to stifle dissent, persecute activists, harass marginalized communities.
The diagnosis of mental illness has over time become a convenient means by which the government and its corporate partners can penalize certain unacceptable” social behaviors.
In recent years , we have witnessed the pathologizing of individuals who resist authority as suffering from oppositional defiant disorder ( ODD ).
