	Suppression of dissent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suppression of dissent occurs when an individual or group which is more powerful than another tries to directly or indirectly censor, persecute or otherwise oppress the other party, rather than engage with and constructively respond to or accommodate the other party's arguments or viewpoint.
		When dissent is perceived as a threat, action may be taken to prevent continuing dissent or penalise dissidents.
		Suppression of dissent is undesirable in society for a variety of fundamental reasons.

		Suppression of dissent within a bureaucracy is then analogous to government attacks on political opponents or movements, another area in which the role of contingent factors in the exercise of power against dissent is important.
		Studying suppression has the potential to reveal much about the dynamics of expertise, power, and legitimacy in contemporary society, but this type of investigation is bound to remain controversial itself both because of definitional and methodological challenges and because it draws attention to an exercise of power that those exercising it would rather pass unnoticed.

	Suppression of dissent
		The focus should be on opposing suppression and ensuring freedom of speech, not on the psychology of those attacked.
		This could be a small and "in-house" operation involving circulation of a summary of the case to friends and colleagues and asking them to write letters or it could be a major public campaign with stories in newspapers and on television.

	- Crack The Bell - The Blog - Dissent and Patriotism
		My own view is that in times of war patriotic dissent involves constructive criticism, turning a very critical eye toward attacks on our service members, and, when you're going to criticize policies being carried out by the government, actually have clear and explicit alternatives you advocate instead of the current policies.
		Dissent for dissent's sake may in fact be useful, if for no other reason than to force the powers that be to defend it's own position more coherently and rationally.
		But, if the "powers that be" recognize that the dissent is "dissent for dissent's sake" (and this can happen fairly quickly), then they have absolutely no motivation to defend its position as no possible defense would suffice.

	Suppression of dissent in science - Brian Martin
		To help clarify the concept of suppression as presented here, it is useful to contrast it with several related but distinct concepts: repression, discrimination, whistleblowing, censorship, and self-censorship.
		Suppression is easiest to discern when the action taken is unusual and information is available to apply the double standard test.
		On the other hand, suppression sometimes can be counterproductive, for example when it is grossly unfair, exposing the raw face of power and stimulating greater dissent.

		Sunstein does not elevate dissent based on abstract ideology, but rather on the most pragmatic of grounds-good choices are unlikely to be made by a society that stifles dissent.
		This suppression in turn results in the loss of accurate information and competing arguments, which are the basis for rational and effective decision making.
		This is a noteworthy achievement and an invaluable contribution to the literature on the enduring question of dissent's role in a democratic society.

		Suppression of Dissent: what it is and what to do about it, by Brian Martin, is an excellent site from which to begin an investigation.
		Thus the lack of action against suppression is a warning to dissenters not to buck the system, and definitive action against suppression is a warning to vested interests that attacks will not be tolerated; all on a much more magnified scale due to it being on the Web-- for better or worse.
		Living with systematic suppression in the academic environment that goes against the grain of one's education, experience, or sense of right and wrong, can be degrading and uncomfortable in the extreme; while his society itself, fares no better.

	Spinsanity - Suppressing Dissent At Home, Fighting for Freedom Abroad?
		Wars often give rise to conditions of secrecy and suppression of dissent that are antithetical to democracy.
		The main criticism offered is that these dissenters express a view of "moral equivalence", which is allegedly a belief that, as a result of America's previous foreign policy, we "had it coming".
		This suggests that imperatives of unity could be invoked against dissent for years to come, especially if public support for the war declines.

		The 18-page report finds that dissent since 9/11 has taken three principal forms: mass protests and rallies, messages on signs or clothing, and other acts of defiance by communities and individuals.
		The ACLU report also makes clear that ours is not the first generation to face such challenges, with historical comparisons to government suppression of dissent from 1920 through the Vietnam era.
		Also documented in the report are the actions taken by ACLU affiliates like the New York Civil Liberties Union to monitor the actions of police during the anti-Vietnam War rallies of the 1960s and 70s, when mass arrests were taking place and the civil liberties of peaceful demonstrators were being violated.

	The Suppression of Dissent in AIDS Science
		Acquired Immune Suppression with and without opportunistic infections and with and without abnormal CD4+ cell counts or abnormal CD4/CD8 ratios exists in HIV negative patients, but it is simply labeled differently - "Idiopathic CD4+ T lymphocytopenia".
		Some AIDS rethinkers also hypothesize that regular rectal exposure to semen and toxic lubricants is highly immune suppressive, and that the former leads to production of antibodies which cause "HIV" tests to be positive, thus explaining the correlation between receptive anal sex and "HIV" seroconversion.
		In it, AIDS mainstream researchers openly admit that their goal is to prevent dissenting opinions from reaching the public and policy makers, out of purely humanitarian motives, of course, to prevent the public from becoming confused.

		Steeped in history and the relationship of dissent to democracy, the author provides a down-to-earth yet erudite condemnation of the ease with which America was led to war on Iraq by a small group of individual who were able to silence Congress, the media, and all other public interest organizations.
