These techniques include very subtle, oblique, indirect attacks disguised as positive gestures (one recent concrete, physical real-world example: dropping of food AND bombs), smear campaigns, rhetorical power struggles disguised as real communication, questioning or (silently\/openly) judging one's background or motives, silence, gossip, condescension, and various other ways of imposing a pre-existing structure of how things should be on anyone who deviates or threatens to deviate from what has been established as the accepted norm. And the most insidious of these kinds of systems and the hardest to challenge are those that are able to present themselves as completely open and accepting, free, democratic, non-authoritarian, progressive, multiethnic, non-sexist, etc.\r\n\r\nNothing new or original or earth-shattering in these ideas of course. People--ALL people--have been tripping on power probably since there were people.","author":"Mix Master Mike","parent_id":11928,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2001-10-17 15:03:33","modified":"2001-10-17 15:24:55","fileurl":""}]}
