The West through the ideology of woke has embraced almost the entire package of goods that the USSR embodied at its worse; it has not taken the iron fist approach so much as the silk chains. While the Soviets used psychiatry as a political weapon, to enforce communist dogma and state obedience, the US is now moving to mental health round-ups and involuntary detentions.
At present in New York City, for example, one could be hospitalised for having a suspected mental illness for having “firmly held beliefs not congruent with cultural ideas,” exhibit a “willingness to engage in meaningful discussion,” have “excessive fears of specific stimuli,” or refuse “voluntary treatment recommendations.” This is little more than a thought crime, and not only in New York but across the country, the police are now empowered to detain individuals they believe to be mentally ill, based solely on their own judgment. Be sure that refusing vaccination will be taken as a clear sign of mental illness.
