Reactionary : Institutional defence against transparency and justice

We live within a Hierarchy of Wealth, Power and Violence Dominator Culture.
Reactionary : Institutional defence against transparency and justice

The last 40 years of Survivor testimony emerging world wide and how religious and state institutions have reacted to that testimony tells us something and has established the following observations as scientific evidence.

Every institution built up within this culture - the industrialised militarised competing powers culture -that has degrees of power over people and resources will contain within it people who will enter into that institution with the express purpose of using any available leveraged power to exploit any emergent vulnerability in targeted populations subject to the existing power disparity.

Institutions are extensions of human behavioural dynamics around power, control and management of resources. They tend to reflect that values and behavioural biases of the people who created them in the first instance.

Many of the institutions themselves were originally set up to exploit the population in one way or another. Those that were created to nurture the population tend to become corrupted over time, at best co-opted by the ruling class to dilute their potential to challenge the hierarchy and at worst active participants in exploitative behaviour.

Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Media Organisations, Corporate Organisations, Trade Organisations, Police Forces, Military, Sports Clubs, all Care Settings, Academia, Think Tanks, every profession with public facing entertainment for profit, Schools, Families and Cults.

Every institution that has degrees of power will seek to protect it's power, image, wealth and status above the welfare or the needs of any of the people targeted by abusers within it's ranks, above the welfare of survivors who come forward, and those survivors who do not come forward will be ignored until they do come forward.  All survivors that do come forward will face intense challenges seeking justice and open accountability, derived largely from the defensive tactical stance of the institution protecting it's image and status.

This means the executive branches of these institutions will actively, intentionally mask the presence of abusers, they will often through that masking enable abusers to continue to operate by neglecting to hold them to account, they will deal with abuses that become known to them privately, internally and they will be more tolerant of abuse of power than they should be, given that that is precisely how many people progress up the ladder of power, the greasy pole.

The only way to counter this is to demand 100% transparency and 100% democratic accountability as a legal, statuary precondition of continued public funding and standing of any of these institutions that operate as part of Government.

When it comes to Policing, a three year training period, with psychological profiling and counselling designed to identify potential behavioural threats and help defuse them or reject resistant applicants, would be really wise.

With regard to private and other non-governmental institutions, legislation that requires or mandates 100% transparency and access to all files, information and data held by the institution for study, analysis and review related to any incidence of abuse of power is necessary.

Privacy is one thing, secrecy another.

The only way to resolve the harms of the past is total honesty, for entities to put their hands up, admit and tell the truths that have been masked, make appropriate reparations, expedite justice and provide for full accountability for al harms caused. 

It is reasonable to expect institutions to build in transparency as a core element of the institutional ethic - then, and only then will we be able to be assured that serious, materially effective efforts are being made to prevent the harms that have been previously caused.

This needs all of the electorate to be aware of this dynamic and on board with the steps and vigilance to correct it.

A useful blog on the subject of bullying as a political strategic behavioural dynamic.

https://politicsandinsights.org/2015/01/22/how-bullying-works-projection-and-scapegoating/

"Very few people, when put to the test, have the integrity and moral courage to stand up against bullying, harassment, abuse, threats and corruption. The targets of adult bullying are selected often because they DO have the moral courage to challenge; many people will pass by on the other side.

A target of adult bullying is most often chosen because of their strength, not their weakness. Research shows that targets of bullying tend to have highly developed empathy, and sensitivity for others, a high degree of perceptiveness, high moral values, a well-developed integrity, a strong sense of fair play and reasonableness, a low propensity to violence, a reluctance to pursue grievance, disciplinary or legal action, a strong forgiving streak and a mature understanding of the need to resolve conflict with dialogue. 

Often, targets of bullying are independent, self-reliant and “different” in some way. Dysfunctionally abusive people often disingenuously confuse these hallmarks of character with weakness.

Bullies aim to inflict psychological injury more often than physical injury. Their main aim is to control, discredit, isolate and eliminate their target."

I recommend my readers to read this blog article, and bookmark it. Use it as a reference piece. We as citizens need to understand with more clarity the strategies and tactics being used to undermine democratic governance.

Here is a well written article from BylineTimes, laying out what the writers call deception management, a political utility that is utterly, intentionally, brutally abusive.

https://bylinetimes.com/2021/10/05/deception-management-how-mendacity-devoured-british-politics/

"Much is made of how politicians curate their image to appeal to the instincts of voters through the use of perception management. Yet, for the current political class, perception management has become deception management: a way to manipulate opinion in order to mask their own failures.

Britain has entered a state of permanent crisis caused by deeply flawed and incompetent leaders. Politics in Britain is now defined by mutually-reinforcing disasters, followed by scapegoating and the manipulation of reality."
