The “mental health” system functions not for “mental health” but as an overhanging, overwhelming threat against people who rebel against any oppression. “Mental health” oppression is the “stop sign” for all liberation movements. In every other oppression there is a piece of “mental health” oppression that threatens and enforces people to submit to that particular oppression.
The “mental health” systems of the world function as reactionary “gendarmes” of the oppressive society, supporting all oppressions.
