Psychiatric slavery should be outlawed. Psychiatric confinement, coercion, and force are the foundations of psychiatric slavery. #Szaszian

I don't share your belief that locking people who have broken no law in a building ought to be interpreted as 'hospitalizing' someone. I've said in this thread I have survived psychiatric slavery.

You're entitled to not interpret forced psychiatry as torture. That's up to you. Many survivors of this violence disagree. The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture and other international human rights law experts disagree.

The detainee you speak of, if he did 'assault' one of his captors (justified retaliation to being caged without breaking any law if you ask me), was assaulted in a much more invasive manner in response. I don't believe the penalty for 'assaulting' a 'staff member' should be to lose the right to own your own brain. Maybe you feel that is reasonable. That's not the kind of world I wish to live in. Invading every cell in somebody's brain in response to someone striking a blow physically is patently disproportionate and a heinous decimation of the human right to bodily integrity. What you're talking about is second class citizenship. That is, that some people who 'assault' others should simply be put in a jail cell, and that a special subspecies of humanity should, if they assault somebody, NOT ONLY be locked up, BUT ALSO lose the right to own their own biology. I'm sickened and appalled that people like you exist. People who have been brainwashed to accept such heinously invasive use of forced drugging as pretty much just a chemical weapon, to subdue and zombify 'some' citizens who assault, but not others. You clearly don't believe those who are framed as, labeled as, considered as, interpreted as 'mentally ill' deserve the same human rights as regular ordinary criminals who assault somebody. Your condoning of this violence, this deeply invasive violence, treating human beings like they are gorillas in a zoo to be 'sedated' is very sad. I also don't believe that detainees in such forced psychiatry facilities ought to be described as 'patients' any more than Bill Cosby's victims should be described is 'lovers'. No doctor/patient relationship worthy of the name and dignity of the concept, can begin in violence and force. That's not a legitimate doctor/patient relationship, it's an act of violence and domination.

I don't know why it was relevant to your story that the torturer was 'calm' when they forcibly invaded this victim's bloodstream. Of course the torturer was calm, they do it all the time, and sleep at night. The scum of the earth. Thankfully there exist true humanitarians who are working to establish bodily integrity equality human rights for all. Even when there exist millions of callous individuals like you who see such victims as less than human and undeserving of the right to own their own body/biology. Isn't it interesting, that these alleged 'doctors' and 'nurses' never proved there was anything wrong with the victim's biology in your story. The drugs were deployed solely is a chemical control weapon. Totally invasive, totally disgusting, an act of pure inhumanity. The fact that you're so fine with it, and so many people are, is just another reason why I won't miss this world when I go.

I don't consider biological rapists who forcibly put things into the unwilling bodies of nonconsenting people to be worthy of the name 'nurse'. They are human rights abusers. Torturers.

And thankfully a lot of good work is being done at the international human rights law level to bring these heinous practices out of the shadows. Needless to say, what you've 'personally seen', during your periods of detention or whatever you call your 'stays', is absolutely nothing compared to what international human rights experts have seen, UN inspectors have seen, and what people who study the issue of forced psychiatry full time have seen.

You may seek to minimize the life-destroying violence of violently having your right to own your own body and brain stripped away. But millions of people have experienced this, many have been driven to suicide by it, many are never the same, and many never forgive society for betraying them in this way. It's a deadly serious issue, some are even killed in the process of forced drugging. I am very proud, utterly proud, to hold my head up high in dignity and fight against this human rights atrocity.
