I was thinking I could work this subject matter into the longer post I’m working on regarding the trial of Letecia Stauch which I am incorporating with themes of the corporate and legal laundering of trauma to the point it’s nearly meaningless when brought up in virtual spheres. But recognizing it is not, especially at this time as we come to grips with the next stage of assault while we try to do something resembling healing of our already severely damaged psyches. So I appreciate this thread by @whitemntred that reflects much of my thinking on trauma, and it ties into what I’m trying to pin down by using the term institutional psychosis.
To say such psychosis is institutionalized is not quite right, to me. I think that people who have been institutionalized understand the attempts that have been made on their personhood and the damage that has been done. Jordan Neely was an example to be made for the entire world. Do not state the obvious intentions of those who mercilessly rule over you and the pain you are living with, do not recognize what has been robbed from you, or else. Everything is supposed to be filtered down and already masticated for you by the psychotic institutions that are self-perpetuating in these processes at this point.
Psychosis is often used incorrectly regardless of whether or not it’s useful to understand the intentions of false leaders and the ruling class; I have used it in error many times myself. Psychotic actions do not absolve wrong-doers of intent necessarily in legal defenses, and I do not think the ruling class acts psychotically. They are methodological in their planning that inculcates psychosis in the individuals who carry out seemingly benign and at times even beneficial actions, limited as they may be, in myriad state bureaucratic organizations and the private NGO and nonprofit complex(es).
I think you can trace back these methods to how the realm of sales – salesmanning? – has transformed since the darpa/internet has steamrolled society in general. I used to be in sales and enjoyed it at the time. To be successful in sales of bigger ticket items, you have to establish relationships and truly be there for the people you sell to when called upon. The relationship can be tenuous or more friendly depending on your own sense-making and intuitiveness regarding how you can retain a customer on an individual, case-by-case basis. This tempers the shrewdness, at times ruthlessness, and competitive nature needed in the larger arena to continue to be able to make a living by selling.
But this is rapidly being totally overcome by keywords, “AI” automated processes, SEO, etc etc. Human and social relations/ships to buying and selling are to be seen as simply relics needed to facilitate completed global monopolization, though they have been much more meaningful for us throughout history no matter what the anti-consooomers hallucinate about. The most troubling examples to me at the moment come from these “community” organizations who have been tasked with instating corporate communalism. Bellwether that he is for many perverted social engineering programs, an important project for Trudeau presently is to confuse socialism/communism for Communist Globalism or whatever, the brand for caste masquerading as communalism while the ruling class continues apace with their efforts to keep us all penned as livestock in our assigned regions.
Personally, I have to walk away from all these “local” organizations infected with these approaches. Every notice for an “opportunity” is sold in impersonal ways meant to strike an emotional chord with the recipient, studied in depth by Facebook and Twitter. The “sellers” – bureaucrats, officials, execs etc may be antiquated titles at this point – have been coached on what keywords and phrases to use in crafting communications to induce emotional cues and actions based on those. Their individual benefits for doing so will prove to be fleeting, so in that sense, I do find their psychosis important to isolate and understand. There’s a lot of undoing to be done to retain human and productive sociality as we continue in our fight to stay human and free.
