Being polite to bullies

It’s Mental Health Week. There are ways of keeping people quiet, through:
• A society that allows cancer causing non-foods to be called ‘food’, that injects poisons into people’s bodies without consent, that electrocutes without consent, and performs surgery without consent.
• A society that pays for bullies to speak and never speaks out against them for fear that they might be done-in/ lose their job or funding.
• Promoting the works of bullies and not promoting the work of those who criticise bullies.
• A society that allows bullies to put those they bully in hospital because the victims of bullying are not being submissive enough.
• Knowing the victim of abuse isn’t likely to heckle because they’ve being put in hospital before for expressing discomfort with what’s being said.
• Religions and cults like psychiatry that say questions can’t be asked about their belief systems, rituals and punishments inflicted on unwilling people.
• Doctors that say their DSM is a bible and can be used to ‘treat’, through torturous procedures, the country’s people allow to be part of their law.

If you hear a speaker during Mental Health Week that is violating human-rights, make noise. Unless other audience members are with you, be discrete enough to protect yourself. If the audience is with you, join them in a protest. Bullies should not be on stage earbashing unwilling audiences, who are too polite to even make sound of discontent, even clapping for a speech they hated. That’s just wrong. Be authentic and have friends to back you up. Say NOT IN OUR NAME will you allow abuse to continue! To not do so is being impolite to those who have suffered the extreme end of this abuse.

Read a book by a psychiatric survivor and understand why bullying is not acceptable, especially when it involves government approved torture and the dismissing of those who have suffered this and survived.

I have two autobiographies, ‘Percipience’ and ‘Naked Ladies’. My coffee-table book series BEINGS, also discusses this, as do most of my poetry books.
